That is literally the funniest ASCII drawing I’ve seen.
I can’t make sense of how I’m supposed to see it ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
It’s a little dude lying down the _ and 」are his arms

LMAO, thanks so much!
I think it’s someone lying on their side? Like a sexy lying down pose with a leg and an arm stretched out.
What is the close parentheses?
Their rounded top and bottom of body?
Asexual, sex-repulsed, intersex. Bloodline stops with me for like all the reasons.
But where a bloodline ends, freezer burrito consumption begins.
The point of progeny is to increase the likelihood of your species survival. Today, the opposite is true. I’d call it luck.
Not species, genes. Species is a socially constructed concept. Selection operates at the level of individual genes which are the fundamental transmissible units.
Bacteria even carry out horizontal gene transfer via the exchange of plasmids between cells!
Baby, thanks to CRISPR, humans can too.
I wonder if decreased reproduction in developed countries is the result of evolutionary forces from long ago. It seems like most animals are the opposite, and have more offspring during times of plenty.
I like how this flips the narrative from: “I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!” to “I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!”
Eh… My brother has two sons. No need for me to add more.
good riddance in my case
Ok, but what’s up with the apathy though?
what do you mean?
You literally said
good riddance
Which implies something negative.
Edit: I misunderstood your comment. Disregard. I am dumb.
all good
I went on a little thought journey about this, partly because I’ll never have my own biological kids (snip snip). Ironically, I have a family tree that is traced back to the 1500s. My branch will just stop. I’m OK with that - this is my choice. There will be a lot of branches that just stop because of unfortunate deaths. The difference is whether it’s by choice or not, maybe?(?) Is this a bad thing anyway?
I looked it up and it seems that there are other Homo sapiens sapiens, so it was never up to me after all.
Jokes’ on my ancestors, we’ve been getting through a bottleneck for the last 3 generations. All only children… at least on my mum’s side, my dad’s side’s not faring much better with my generation and our kids
I do the same thing, but I regard it as carrying on the proud tradition of kings, like Charles IV and Richard III, who have done this before me.
I feel attacked
At least your kids won’t
They probably still have a few branches of the family tree growing.
I always find that funny, people only think about their branch but I’m looking at my family tree and even though my branch stops, my cousins have kids, the family lives on, so who cares about the bloodline bullshit?
They lived at a time when there was no planet-level reason not to have kids. You don’t. Swap places and the behaviors swap. This isn’t because of you.
At least not statistically.

Or maybe you could stop being a dick and respect people’s decisions.
