New data point in 3…2…
Neatly showing why when all you have is two data points you can’t just assume the best fit function for extrapolation is a linear one.
Mind you, a surprisingly large number of political comments is anchored in exactly that logic.
Huge if true!
If you’ve ever seen a growth chart, you know that newborns grow incredibly quickly, but the rate of growth tapers off over time. That being said, my daughter will be six feet tall by the time she’s 2:
It looks like he aged 5 years in 3 months…
Someone’s clearly not a parent.
You are correct
Babies grow super fast.
I was talking about the dad, lol.
I should have been more specific given they are both male.
Oh, yeah. That makes a lot more sense! And that’s what being kept up every night for months will do to you.
To be fair, the lighting conditions are way more flattering in the first pic. When you have even lighting all over your front, it minimizes wrinkles. The second pic seems like it was taken in the evening with only one light source (or a few…but it seems like maybe an overhead porch light), making wrinkles and such far more prominent.
As a parent with a kid who didn’t sleep well I knew what you meant lol
Oh oh, don’t tell me, I’ll guess! It’s the baby, right? The baby’s not a parent?
As a father I can confirm this seems right
Line goes up. Can’t refute that!
There’s another problem that his math missed. His baby-making rate stands at one per three months. Extrapolating that for all humans puts the population’s doubling rate at EVERY THREE MONTHS! In 10 years, there will be a lot of ~3 trillion kg kids!
If every 10 billion people can make a new earth every year, I think we should be able to get on top of this.
Plot twist: the bio-dad is actually either Galactus or Ego.

How is size (“big”) even associated with mass (“weight”) in this relation?
-
What is a “pounds”?
They’re making the (possibly false) assumption that density will stay the same, so size must grow with weight.
Of course, it’s equally likely that size will remain constant. It changes or it doesn’t -> 50/50 odds. Until the point it all collapses into a black hole.

Why does he mispronounce his surname?
Could be German. It’s not pronounced precisely like “Kyle”, but close enough, and “Keil” is the German word for “wedge”.
Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.
Dude what? Where did this come from?
It’s a Dune quote for when the fremen see sandworms. The guy is saying his kid will weigh several tons, so logically he will evolve into a sandworm.
He dumb AF.
