Those hips don't look good for bearing children. Swipe left.

Bro, you missed bottom row, second and third from the left.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

They look good for what, 4 children? Maybe 5?

Yep, I can't keep up the dudebro persona sufficiently to answer that.

Is there some kind of phrenology for waist to hip ratio indicating specific breedability rofl?

EDIT: Ok so

Apparently actual science indicates the opposite of what the common sentiment seems to be.

Average Number of Children goes up the higher the WHR ratio is, ie, more pronounced hips actually indicate lower numbers of children, all other factors accounted for.

Interesting, wonder why the link is there

Three is the perfect amount. One son to inherit your property, another one in the case the first one dies, and one daughter to marry off when you need to make an alliance.

Did you know that we have a surviving example of ancient Egyptian porn? Look up the Turin papyrus. (NSFW, obviously.)

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

why are the dicks like 2 feet long lol

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

I assume it's symbolic. Hierarchical proportion is common in Egyptian art, so maybe the size represents the man's extraordinary virility and sexual prowess.

Either that or the artist was into huge cocks.

that's interesting, thank you. It could also symbolize how many pain receptors there are hense it feeling more important/sensitive. Though its probs just huge cock theory

The Internet in Ancient Times

Welcome to the stone age... or the bronze age... or the iron age... heck, anything with an 'age' is welcome, except our modern age or any ages to come.

This is about what the internet was like thousands of years ago back when it all started. Like when Darius the Great hired mercenaries via Craigslist or when Egypt invented emojis.

CODE OF LAWS

1 - Be civil. No name calling, no fighting, keep your flint hand axes inside your leather pouches at all times.

2 - Keep the AI stuff to a minimum. It gets annoying and old fashioned memes are more fun for everyone.

3 - None of this newfangled modern 21st century nonsense. We don't even know what "21st century" means.

4 - No porn/explicit content. The king is sensitive about these things.

5 - No lemmy.world TOS violations will be tolerated. So there.

6 - There is no ~~rule~~ law 6.

Laws of justice which Hammurabi, the wise king, established. A righteous law, and pious statute did he teach the land. Hammurabi, the protecting king am I. I have not withdrawn myself from the men, whom Bel gave to me, the rule over whom Marduk gave to me, I was not negligent, but I made them a peaceful abiding-place. I expounded all great difficulties, I made the light shine upon them. With the mighty weapons which Zamama and Ishtar entrusted to me, with the keen vision with which Ea endowed me, with the wisdom that Marduk gave me, I have uprooted the enemy above and below (in north and south), subdued the earth, brought prosperity to the land, guaranteed security to the inhabitants in their homes; a disturber was not permitted. The great gods have called me, I am the salvation-bearing shepherd, whose staff is straight, the good shadow that is spread over my city; on my breast I cherish the inhabitants of the land of Sumer and Akkad; in my shelter I have let them repose in peace; in my deep wisdom have I enclosed them. That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.
