The thing is, for it to be an evolutionary advantage it can’t be common. That’s one theory behind why grandmas aren’t more common in species.

Some of our greatest minds are ADHD, probably bc ADHD brains seem to approach problems in generally more innovative/non-traditional ways than neurotypicals. It can also foster intense motivation in people. Bill Gates, for example, has been open about his struggles with ADHD. Many scholars believe that Albert Einstein struggled with AuDHD (ADHD with autism, which wasn’t in the American DSM until fairly recently).

on your mecha tail, duh

If you have an erection lasting more than four hours please contact your doctor.

It encompasses a few genres of live action japanese tv/movies but I was thinking like power rangers/super sentai.

I’m supposed to be cleaning but now I’m laughing too hard imagining some “saturday morning cartoon” tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.

I think it’s less common in north america than in other continents.

I posted this further down but you would enjoy it if you haven’t seen it already. The end of the video supports your statement. Why Your Grandmother Is an Evolutionary Mystery

Yeah. One idea is that, since our offspring take SO long to mature and take so many resources relative to other animals, that it makes more sense at some point for mothers to devote their resources to existing children rather than focus on trying to have more. So it benefits us as a species to have “support” people like grandmas in our society. This is getting into a tangent but there are all sorts of things that kinda “make sense” if you think about life before modern society. Homosexual men would have probably been an evolutionary advantage to a clan of early humans since it would have provided extra strong male bodies without adding to mating pressure. People with a preference for staying up at night and sleeping during the day could have provided more alert guards to watch for predators. Etc etc.

Except that it isn’t a religious thing. I don’t know if it was natural selection or societal pressure causing artificial selection, but human’s are something of an evolutionary anomaly in the sense that the only other animals on earth who go through menopause are a few species of whales. There’s a whole evolutionary hypothesis tied to it called the grandmother hypothesis. Or you can watch this PBS video about it if you don’t feel like reading. It’s pretty interesting really.

Edit: I’m also just gonna paste a paragraph from the wikipedia if people want the tl;dr.

Evolutionary theory dictates that all organisms invest heavily in reproduction in order to replicate their genes. According to parental investment, human females will invest heavily in their young because the number of mating opportunities available to them and how many offspring they are able to produce in a given amount of time is fixed by the biology of their sex. This inter birth interval (IBI) is a limiting factor in how many children a woman can have because of the extended developmental period that human children experience. Extended childhood, like the extended post-reproductive lifespan for females, is relatively unique to humans.[8] Because of this correlation, human grandmothers are well-poised to provide supplemental parental care to their offspring’s children. Since their grandchildren still carry a portion of their genes, it is still in the grandmother’s genetic interest to ensure those children survive to reproduction.

The only answer I need from an AI is 42.

Damn so its gonna get even faster? My Windows install must have been more borked than I thought bc I already get performance parity at minimum. Guess I should have kept up with reformatting annually instead of biennially.

Maybe it’s system to system, or something with the older nvidia drivers, but I’ve specifically noticed the improved performance in Expedition 33 and Jedi: Fallen Order which I think are both DX11/12?

That’s because he isn’t acting. Somewhere along the line he stopped being the actor known as Ryan Reynolds and just became the character Ryan Reynolds.
