That, or God’s an arsehole, which all things considered…

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Or God is a ten year old who is playing around with a world generating machine and has since forgot about us.

As context to your context:
The genitalia of the female closely resembles that of the male; the clitoris is shaped and positioned like a penis, a pseudo-penis, and is capable of erection. The female also possesses no external vagina (vaginal opening), as the labia are fused to form a pseudo-scrotum. The pseudo-penis is traversed to its tip by a central urogenital canal, through which the female urinates, copulates and gives birth. (Source)
scientists state that female spotted hyenas are the **only ** non-intersex female mammals devoid of an external vaginal opening, and whose sexual anatomy is distinct from usual intersex cases (source)
Because hardly any other animal would give birth through a clitoris. That was the weird part for me because I knew about the peniform clitorises but not the missing external vaginas.

Why cut off the last few panels of the comic?
my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 10 months ago
Nothing is cut off? The only thing missing is one bonus panel.
spittingimage@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh, I always thought that was part of the comic.

Abrahamic* to be precise. They’re all the same asshole, just different names. (And, even that was listed from earlier cultures’ traditions, FFS. Lazy, unoriginal, and fucking stupid? That tracks for religion all around, really.)

I uh… I was expecting it to be something like they eat a percentage of their own babies or something. Fuck that. Sounds like it would feel like giving birth through a penis.

Fun fact: Female hyenas have a pseudopenis that prolapses into a dick that they rape their brothers with when they’re young
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It sounds very much like that. Maybe worse.

“Gestation lasts 21 days, and devils give birth to 20–30 young standing up … As there are only four nipples in the pouch, competition is fierce, and few newborns survive.”
One guess as to what happens to the spares.

This might help.
Female Hyena’s have what is called a pseudo-penis. Which is used for sex and urination, as well as giving birth.
Obviously giving birth splits it open fucks your whole year / life up.
onlinepersona@programming.dev 10 months ago
My only question is: why would they evolve like that?
Or alternatively, what the fuck were they before that gave birth like this?
