Say humanity is the same but instead of a fetus turning into a baby over the course of 9-ish months, women simply laid an egg and had to take care of them over 9 months.

Would the abortion (hitting the egg with a sledgehammer) debate change drastically, or would it be the same?

Why do scientists praise the periodic table? I already have a chair in my house, so I bought a periodic table to eat my meals, and they didn't deliver a table at all, it's just a giant sheet of paper with some weird writing on it. Do all scientists eat their meals on the floor or something?

It's great that scientists invented the iphone so I can watch tiktok all day, but they can also be so dumb sometimes.

Well?
