But what came first, the butt or the egg?

A question for the ages.

[TD1]

Humans are deuterostomes, so....

[majikero]

But what came first, the butt or the egg?

Butts obviously. Everything is but a butt.

I see that this thread has come back to peace.

In the beginning, there was only butts. When the first cell began to divide, what appeared?

A crack.

And thus, the first butt was born.

It's a long ways back, apparently, but trying to catch up with the wtf thread I noticed this:

Back on topic[And ironically, completely uninspired by the current discussion], I've just caught myself typing "they" instead of traditional gendered pronouns when I need to use the latter for an RP. Given that I very much doubt that singular they is accepted in academic circles just yet, this could be a problem in future schooling. My WTF here is that I've already managed to ingrain an entirely new brand of sentence structure on myself in only 4-5 months.

Arc, academic writing is where I picked up the habit of using they and otherwise nongendered pronouns. If you can still manage to get your point across using them, do so. You'll be fine so long as you don't run into some crazy or another.

I'd probably even recommend it, because the use is likely to continue to normalize, and you might as well get in the habit now.

Also:

I'd definately like to replace my poorly functioning right hand for sure, and if I could get a left eye that works, that's also great. But really that's all that's important to me there.

You're very much not far off. We have (pretty poorly) functioning cybernetic hands now (hell, we networked monkey brains together to move a simulated one this year, I think, or last), and barely functional low resolution cybernetic eyes got something workable within the last year or five. Tech's still got a fair ways to go, but if you have the money for it you'll probably be able to upgrade from what you currently have within the next decade or so. We're real damn close to giving the outright blind near-normal vision, and re-limbing the amputated to a near-baseline (or better) level. Medical science is doing some crazy shit right now.

Fun fact, anuses are the first thing that develop in embryos.

Pedophilia is inherently bad because its fulfillment generally involves inflicting lasting trauma and/or bodily harm on others.

What would you consider "fulfillment", though?
Can fulfillment really only be reached via sex? Or physical means? This actually links into another interesting sort of discussion. If you're attracted to a certain something or other, do you HAVE TO have sex with it or something of that nature to "fulfill" yourself?

@Frumple: Pretty sure we're almost at having robotic limbs that can feel. Actually, I think they might already exist in prototype form.

That's in deuterostomes, which chordates do fall under. In protostomes, however, the mouth develops from the blastopore.

You know, I had a nightmare last night in which I was going to do a Biology degree.

Thank you for trying to make that nightmare as much a reality as you could.

But(t), as humans, we take the opening developments that are relevant to us.

Plus, y'know. Singular they has been in use in English at least since the 14th century. It's another one of those things where pedants and grammar nazis make themselves look like fools. The only difference is that the usage of "he" as a "gender-neutral" singular pronoun is falling out of style, which in turn makes "they" more prominent. The idea of the singular they being grammatically incorrect is only about a century or two old, and came about because of a desire for a single gender-neutral singular pronoun (a "he/she" dichotomy was rejected for the same reason), and arguably because of the perception of masculinity as the primary gender/sex (ironically enough, given what we know about human sex in terms of prenatal development).

You misunderstood. They didn't mean fulfillment in the psychological, "I'm so fulfilled!" sense. They mean 'fulfillment of pedophile desires." That is to say, acting upon them.
