I had to scroll back in my saved posts to a million years ago to resurrect this.
Thanks for surfacing this one, it's always fun to get the older perspective and realising they're very human.
To be fair, tits are pretty awesome.
( @ )( @ )
If y'all could please direct me to the thighs and calves galaxies I'll be on my way. I enjoy boobs as do most humans, but I am a legs man.
So as a cock and balls man, where do I go?
Probably somewhere around Uranus?
You know what, take your upvote and get out of here!
We should rename it as Urectum to end that stupid joke once and for all.
You're probably gonna want the Meathook/Cobra galaxy or the Gaia Sausage.
I'm afraid the Cigar galaxy is just a cigar galaxy.
You're a leg man? Get out of here... the Andromeda galaxy is that way --->
My son just called it "the tittieverse" and now I hate ALL of you.
This new naming scheme sounds like a great contribution to societitty.
Contriboobtion
Ackshully, "galaxy" (or rather, "galaxias") means "Milky Way" already, it's just a translation. It was less ambiguous when the only galaxy we could see was the Milky lights that covered a lot of our sky.
Of course, we realize there's more than one galaxy now, so the meanings have diverged.
And we didn't realize there was more than one galaxy until the 1920s (I think?)
I mean... I think we can all agree that boobs are at least universally non-threatening, even without counting the symbolisms of nourishment, nurturance, life, fertility, etc. At least I don't think we're at the point where hiding machine guns or hellish snakes in boobs is viable. ... Right?
You should watch Austin Powers. Machine gun tits back in the 90s, lol.
Bring in the fem- BOOOOTS
Also Mazinger (may be known under a different name in some countries). One of the robots (Aphrodite A) had titty missiles: https://tenor.com/en-CA/view/afrodita-aphrodite-mech-anime-gif-16897967
And then she breasted boobily down the stairs.
"fastfouriertransfem" is a great username
I'm okay with that.
We, the titty creatures of breastspace, approve
It was either that or a name based on obscure details of skull morphology.
synapsids have a single temporal fenestra, an opening low in the skull roof behind each eye socket, leaving a bony arch beneath each; this accounts for the name "synapsid"
I'll take the boobs.
How could anyone downvote something so erudite and horny?
I accidentally downvoted myself.
I don't know, I prefer butts. Tits are nice, but only half the population have them.
an amendable issue
We're the only(?) species that have evolved them to become more than their basic function. Other species use colors and other features for mating signals, humans use shapes. Definitely wired to be interested in them.
Hold up, are other hominids interested in boobs? Any other mammal? Any non mammals into boobs? How much tiddy science have we really done here? I need tiddy facts.
This might be pseudoscience I got taught 20 years ago, but I have been under the impression that human evolution of breasts as a secondary sexual characteristic has to do with the shift to becoming bipedal. Like a lot of animals, early hominids would see the rear end of a fellow hominid and know this as a trigger for copulation. But when homo erectus started standing upright, butts weren't so universally erotic anymore. They had a whole back and head above them now. Breasts didn't need to be very large to fill their function, but an increase in size gave them a curvy appearance similar to a set of butt cheeks. And early humans were like, yeah, I think that's right, and selected for increased (or at least variable) breast size.
Listen, I'm not trying to refute anything here. I'm just saying that some extra tiddy experiments are probably required in order to fully understand this phenomena. I know that not everyone is cut out for this kind of thing, so I'm willing to take one for the team here. I just need a little funding and a steady supply of consenting tiddy owners.
I'm not aware of any other species sexually selecting for mammary size. Some birds do a puffy chest thing.
It might be a learned association rather than anything instinctive about tiddies. There's this one study where they gave rats a backpack fetish, but it has a sad ending because then they murdered all the rats. They did phrase the murder like they were doing a Satanic ritual though, and that kind of took some of the murdery edge off it for me.
I've been looking forward to like 20 years from now when all the incels will be into girls with too many fingers.
Just wait till you know the etymology of mastodon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon
Edit to save a click: "A mastodon, (from Ancient Greek μαστός (mastós), meaning "breast, and ὀδούς (odoús) "tooth")"
Edit 2: the "mast" in "mastodon" is the same one as in "mastectomy"
In polish mammals = ssaki, and ssaki = suckers
Aliens are gonna have a field day with their translators.

A while back I imagined a race of intelligent crocodiles that not only ate their own young, they'd cooktyhem and serve them to honored guests as a sign of respect.
I finally understand why galactose (greek word for milk) is a component of lactose (latin word for milk). It's milk all the way down.
I've always thought my defining characteristic was my nipples.
Galactose
In the defense of the ancients who were naming things like other things they sort of looked like.... what OTHER substance was around at that time that was both white and liquid?
...
Because maybe we should be grateful for the milk metaphor instead of the option that only nuts would choose...
