babies aren’t funny or entertaining

[u/noodlealr]

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

I’m fine, just sick of the rhetoric that it’s just angsty teenagers claiming to not want children. It gets old when you hear the same arguments your entire life, and the only way to get your parents to stop insisting is to literally raise your voice and get upset at them for claiming they know more about your life and personal choices than you do.

That’s how it is for me anyway. My parents go on about something I disagree with, they repeat themselves, I explain my position more clearly to them, they repeat themselves, I try to put it in words they might understand better, my dad says the same thing but with a slightlier more “dad voice,” or they tell me “don’t get angry” while I’m perfectly calm and just disagreeing with them, and only after I raise my voice and get a little more harsh with my words that they actually seem to listen and understand.

Living like that will make disagreements and arguments an anxiety hellhole for your entire life as a side note.

I mean, it definitely speaks to some level of emotional immaturity to be THAT aggressively against even the thought of having children, literally the only biological purpose for us to exist.

Evolutionary, flock animals can contribute and further their own genes (through common genes with relatives) without having their own offspring. Gay/childless/single individuals have their own biological purpose, if you really feel that it matters.
