This reinforces the myth that babies come from sperm. But babies come almost completely from the egg (cytoplasm, membrane, all of the organelles, as much genetic code than sperm, nutrients).

So guess what, you don't have to imagine ovarian pregnancy because it's real!

Edit: Happens even without fertilizarion with the teratoma. Yikes.

I know it's an unpopular opinion but what's the point? They're obviously not talking regularly and people get avalanched by congratulations due to social networks reminders, so would it mean anything?

The guy has a supernatural ability: he's able to distinguish between two Twix even though they're identical. He's being studied in a lab, possibly to demonstrate his ability scientifically, in a stastistically significant way.

It's funny because it's a silly way to break the current scientific consensus. It's funny to imagine the science team being stumped by this and taking it very seriously.

I'll share my personal situation in return. I'm not a parent, but I'd like to be someday. And indeed I feel very anxious about losing my free time etc. That's why I'm taking this a bit personally, these childfree posts are not helping me at. all. 😅

I see a lot of people responding with "you don't have to be Japanese to cook Japanese food". I think this comic raises another interesting point (whether it's the intention of the author or not).

The analysis would be valid if it was a random set of nationalities: Asian, European, African, etc. But in the comic, all of the employees are Asian. I think there's a criticism that the restaurant owner is racially biased and only hires Asian staff. Why? I don't see another explanation that the staff must "pass" for Japanese, which would be problematic of the owner.
