So i heard you like mind f'ucks.

Aw, I should have recognised it from Snopes. I thought I had read every one of their rumours/myths.

I don't see how that's a mindfuck.....

More so than the original post, it requires one to realize something that is counter intuitive to their understanding, and they will have to think for a minute or two to wrap their mind around it.

 

But what you posted is very much possible, a long line of women birthing girls then one girl only birthing boys breaking the link can happen, and the other way round for the guys. Or maybe I've seen one to many mindfucks to see it as one.

 

Probably the latter. I would like hear some of them if you can remember them.

It is more that you never thought about it and it is kind of amazing to think about if you took it for granted.

 

All I can say is:

Spoiler

 

I can't think of any from the top of my head, but then again, I did almost fully get Incepection(sp) until the very end, this is how I got what you said.

Gen 1: Girls and boys
Gen 2: Girls
Gen 3: Girls
Gen 4: Girls and boys
Gen 5: Girls
Gen 6: Girls
Gen 7: Girls and boys
Gen 8: Girls
Gen 9: Girls
Gen 10: Girls
Gen 11: Boys only

See this is how I saw what you said, and I did think about it.

 

Yes, but this line would have to go back infinitely, to the first female in the line. It wasn't so much hard to grasp as awe-inspiring. "No, that can't be right..." was what I thought.

I understood Inception, that kind of thinking comes naturally to me.

 

But what you have to think about, is how many different families there are in the world, that's how I see it as possible.

 

Yes, but even considering that, they had to start out small. Species do not evolve all at once.

 

I know, but it can still happen.

 

It being impossible is not what makes it mind-boggling, but rather the improbability and the fact that up until the present you had not realized that it was true.
