"Why can't you give up untold amounts of money, free time, peace/quiet, lack of stress, and freedom so I can have my grandkids around for a few hours a week? Stop being so selfish."

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 104 points 1 month ago

Also, why don't you want to bring new human beings in a world that we have destroyed, that will struggle when I'll be gone and you'll be powerless to help? So selfish

These are also the people who either disappear anytime their kids need help with the kids, or else were such terrible parents they're the last person on earth their kids would leave alone with their children.

I don't know if I find it more abhorrent that someone would proudly display an opinion so needlessly angry, or that there exists a company that is profiting off these assholes by providing such a miserable sticker.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 month ago

It's a lot of words to say "I'm a selfish asshole."

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I'm okay with the print company. It lets us see from a distance what kind of asshole we're dealing with.

There are places you can design your bumper sticker. And if you have a good enough printer you can print them yourself

You know what's fucked?

Women can say that babies make their ovaries twitch and that's totally fine.

But if a man says that babies make their dick hard, everyone loses their mind.

What's that all about?

Wow, the cognitive dissonance of calling your daughter selfish...

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 month ago

I guess saying it’s in my selfish son’s ballsack wouldn’t have the same effect.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

But.....that's realistically where they ACTUALLY are. If the grandchild is already inside the daughters overies, that means she's already pregnant. Which means, in order to be selfish, that would mean she's just NOT allowing a 9+ month old child to be born. Like the contractions start, and the mother shoves her hand in, and shoves the kid back up there.

"Oh no you don't! You STAY in there!!! I don't care if it's been 96 months! MOMMIES STILL PREGNANT!!!"

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, the kids are neither in a ballsack nor the ovaries.

If you consider a fertilized egg a child, which you shouldn't, they would be in the uterus.

If it's inside an ovary, the mother's going to die.

Okay, there are just multiple layers of bad women's anatomy in the original post and in the comments.

Eggs are in the ovaries. Without hormonal birth control, generally one egg (but sometimes more and sometimes none) is released from the ovary, travels down the fallopian tube, and if it is fertilized, implants in the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it passes out of the uterus, the uterine lining is shed (that's menstruation), and the process repeats the following month.

There is no "grandchild" in an ovary, any more than there is a "grandchild" in a testicle.

And if a fertilized egg implants anywhere outside the uterus, that's an ectopic pregnancy -- which is not viable because only the uterus has the capability to grow with and provide nourishment to a developing fetus. Not only that, but ectopic pregnancies are generally fatal to the mother (or however that person identifies).

Ah, but we all seem to have forgotten: pee is stored in the balls.

Taps head

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

There is some bad woman's anatomy here too. The egg is broken down and reabsorbed before menstruation starts.

Menstruation happens when the lutheal body desintigrates. Ending the fake pregnancy effect it has. Since there is no embryo to continue the process, the lack of progesterone gets detected as a non-viable pregnancy resultong in a fake miscarriage.

Obviously this person was too selfish to have enough children to produce grandchildren.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

My selfish daughter won't go through childbirth, and raise a child to adulthood and beyond in a world that is getting harder to live in so I can be "gran-gran." The bitch. /s

These boomers are lucky we are civilized enough to NOT take the matter into our own hands to save social security and permit proper economic distrbution of resource so normal couple can have kids.

Truly fucking clueless.

Regime bootlickers won't acknowledge that many people are NOT having kids due to failed social policy their beloved owners and their regimes whores got going for us.

there are quite a few people who seem to want to be mothers more than they want to actually have kids.

I feel like there are a ton of assumptions being made in this comment section. When I first saw it I thought it was funny and imagined a much more light hearted relationship between that woman and her daughter.

Then just make a new kid yourself, mister/missus, and show you daughter how it's done.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Y'all reacting to this with no context or anything.

I'm sure most of us know someone who would 100% give a sticker like this jokingly to their parent, and the parent thinking it'd be a laugh to slap on the car.

I sure as hell do.

So for all y'all know, this is a joke that you arent in on and getting pissed over.

Sure, but it still a bit much to put on your car. I don't have ovaries but I don't think I'd like to see my parent have this if I did.

I mean, yeah. These are the kind of people whose skeletons should be found on the couch in front of a still running television by whoever shows up to evict them for failure to pay taxes because they didn't have anyone in their lives willing and able to put them in a home.
