Looks like kidneys in vertebrates have been around for close to 400 million years, while legumes only 60 million

- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 3 weeks ago:
Is it simply a matter of personal preference, cultural norms, or social contracts?
So is god (or at least I’m sure you’d agree, the vast majority of gods), so not sure why appealing to a higher power solves this.
If you rely solely on human reason, empathy, and self-interest, you will struggle to establish a consistent moral framework for setting boundaries.
The framework is what’s healthy for you and others. Knowing your personal limits and goals. There isn’t some supernatural “boundary dimension” you need to tap into or anything.

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
And the other one says, “It’s the cobblestones.”

I did think of the milk example, but I’d argue that’s not quite an apt comparison as milk is sort of a generic term for similar things from different sources and often just any white liquid. If we had a different, special word for just cow’s milk for example, it’d be weird to call anything else by that name.
I’d argue the equivalent term to “milk” in this case would be syrup. There are many types of syrup, but we specifically use “honey” to mean “syrup made by bees”.

Is it really honey if not made by bees?

“Medical science” didn’t only just discover the clitoris 20 years ago… Fairly accurate descriptions of the structure of the clitoris go back to the 1840s. It’s the textbooks used for medical training that were omitting the already known structures to the detriment of medical professionals and healthcare.
Never mind that discovering and accurately mapping something are very different. That’s like saying we hadn’t discovered the moon until we saw the other side.
It’s a funny meme that scientists couldn’t find the clit, but it detracts from the actual sexism that was preventing the known science from being taught properly to doctors.

I’m guessing by “history” they mean since we started measuring this accurately? Iirc the earth used to spin faster so going back a few centuries or millennia should give days measurably shorter than what we have now.
