there was once an attempt to define life. they ended up agreeing that a living thing is alive if it can procreate... then one replied that technically, that means that a single rabbit isn't alive but a couple are.

Well if that's the case, then women past menopause also must not be alive either. Glad we finally got that sorted out 👍

Or men who have had vasectomies, women who have had tubals, anyone infertile....

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Vasectomies and tubal ligation are the ultimate power move in the goth community.

the problem is that's it's fucking hard to make a definition about "being alive".

and the more scientific esoteric ones are interesting, like adding steps in thermodynamic cascades, or theories based on chaos theory, or information theory... because other conventional definition fails some way or another.

I'm still not sure why viruses aren't considered to be alive.

no metabolism, by themselves, they are inert. yet it can still evolve.

it's an edge case of life.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They don't fuck each other (to my knowledge anyways, I've never watched virus porn)..

They're really interesting things. An intrusive, malicious payload that only needs to find the appropriate host in order to multiply itself

well, as we all know, laying eggs doesn’t matter at all since mammals are the „boobie-animals“. they were named after the mammary glands and since humans like platypuses have mammary glands, they must be mammals despite laying eggs…

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago

since humans like platypuses have mammary glands

I love how much the lack of commas (or emdashes) changes the meaning here.

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

I’m offended on behalf of platypi

First historical depiction of guy in track pants trying to chat up a woman at the grocery store.
