I mean, sperm aren't children either.

Which is what I said in my post that uid0grid0 responded to, saying that I needed anatomy lessons.

Sperm is not a child.
An egg is not a child.
A fertilized egg is also not a child, but some people think it is.

Some people also don't take this anywhere that serious and y'all's conversation seems really silly. Nobody on Lemmy (within reason, I'm sure there are idiots here too) is going to seriously argue that either gamete is a child.

These types of conversations are the ones that make me question just how prevalent autism is on Lemmy. People engage in wordplay and don't literally mean what they say all the time yet these types of comments are 90% on posts like this.

The comment I originally replied to wasn't word play.

that’s realistically where they ACTUALLY are. If the grandchild is already inside the daughters overies, that means she’s already pregnant.

I think what's going on here, and what often does, is that people don't read a reply as a reply to a specific comment chain. They instead see it as a reply to the post itself or a stand alone comment.

"y'all's conversation". I'm referring to the whole comment chain happening in response to this post. Y'all are fucking silly.

The whole idea of "grandchildren are in my daughter's ovaries" is a joke not to be taken seriously by anyone with half a brain but this entire chain is treating it like people seriously think entire little babies are stored in ovaries or testes, AND THEN BEING MAD OVER IT. THATS THE SILLY PART.

And neither are fetuses. Birth turns a fetus into a child. His grandchildren don't exist yet.
