People weren't there for the show. At least not the one on the screen.

Basically, it's an outdoor fuckatorium.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So what would an indoor one be?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A planetarium.

Thus astrology was born

Nine months later? I suppose that would be an okay name under the circumstances.

I mean, human gestation is 10 months, but yeah pretty much.

We say "9 months" because it usually takes about a month before a pregnant person can test positive.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, because "pregnancy" has traditionally been dated from the FIRST day of the last menstrual period.

(I'd like to know more about why that tradition hasn't been updated to fit the facts, but I'm not saying you're wrong.)

Ovulation doesn't occur until 2 weeks later, then there has to be both fertilization and implantation, and as you say testing positive isn't going to happen for another 2-3 weeks, which of course is what turns a "6-week" abortion ban into a 1-week ban.

I used to be something of a zygote myself
