Old as hell would be 4.5 billion years old when all of Earth was just a ball of lava.

I’d go with the imaginary route.
You can make up how old it is since it doesn’t matter. Memes? Old as all hell. Breaking mews? Old as all hell. Doesn’t matter if it’s Musk Harris deep faked videos or slowpoke style news drops about clips of Monica blowies.

This “biologist” assumes that mammalia came into existence after the meteorite impact?
Because mammalia are much older.And specifically about balls, while the Wikipedia article wasn’t helpful this time, this article says it was 100 million years ago.

Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways

If you ask linguists, then “old as fuck” only dates back to the 14th century.

If something is “older than dirt” that means it’s at least 18,000 years old but can be millions of years old depending on where you live:

That would be old as fucking. Fuck, the word, has been around in English for about 500 years or so. Shakespeare is old as fuck.

So what did we (all) do before testicles…?
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
We crossed our legs freely without having to adjust.

How can biologists base their knowledge on THEORIES?
rarWars@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
The word theory is used differently in science to how it is in common speech. In science, a “theory” represents humanity’s best possible explanation for something given everything we know. For example, the theory of gravity gives a reason for why things are attracted to each other, namely the bending of spacetime.
Theories don’t become laws, either. Laws in science describe what happens, and theories describe how. To go back to gravity, the law of gravity is an equation that can tell you exactly how much two objects will be attracted to each other, but it can’t explain how that happens. That’s what the theory is for.
Hope this helps!

“Old as balls”???
That makes zero sense lol. Bravado, ego, pressure, these are the topics balls are in context with, not age.

I have been reaching out to the object storage provider to see if I can increase the rate limits… Unfortunately I might need to change to a different provider to overcome this. Since the migration takes several days, especially so because of those same rate limits, I would rather avoid this…

What about “old as shit”? I bet that’s a lot older
SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I was thinking the same, so I looked into it!
The oldest creature in the evolutionary chain that has been found to poop (from what I found online) is the comb jelly fish. They are thought to have evolved somewhere between 500 million and 600 million years ago
So shit is pretty old

Still, older than balls
