      That’s some Scorpio skepticism. You’re a victim of the influence of the stars smh

          3 days… I think the same sperm could have made it… It’s possible strictly speaking

            it would have to be the identical sperm to produce you, which is highly unlikely. which sperm gets there first would be highly chaotic, so even if it was the exact same load just a small difference in time would likely mean a different sperm would get there. theres potentially hundreds of millions of sperm in a single ejaculation, so with even odds for each you have a better chance of winning the lottery than existing in this scenario.

              Yeah, this also means that you wouldn’t have to go back and kill your grandfather for the grandfather paradox. You wouldn’t even have to cock block him. Just shake his hand. Hell, just be on the same busy street or sidewalk as him, or exist at all far enough ahead of the event, and chaos will take care of the rest.

              on the other hand who’s to say that another sperm would have made a noticable difference? Maybe they’d just have a slightly better sense of smell and one fewer eyelashes

      They hate it when I mention that the stars move in the sky, so the constellations not only move but also change shape.

        Not only that, but the stars that make up the constellations are, in reality, very very far from one another.

        They only appear in those patterns to us because of the very specific angle that we view the sky from.

        They’re also just inert balls of gas that are further away than most people can even begin to comprehend. That shit does not affect human personality for fuck sake.
