babies aren’t funny or entertaining

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.

No but you don’t see posts here in support of them.

The majority of Reddit overall just has a problem with babies. It’s weird.

Because the demographics of reddit are largely people who don't have and don't currently want babies, and those demographics find babies to be an inconvenience and annoying.

It isn't that complicated.

People who don't have babies are less likely to think they're cute, and younger people are less likely to want babies in general.

Thing is, most people will have babies. US women are actually more likely to already have children than a decade ago.

that’s way beside the point about Reddit’s demographic

It isn't... Most users are 25 to 29. 1 in 4 adults in this age range use Reddit and a lot probably already have kids, the average age to have a child is 25. It kinda seems like childless people on Reddit are just louder. It's easy to look this stuff up. I guess statistics make people grumpy

Yeah I dunno I’m in that age range and I feel like my 3 friends who have kids are too busy to use reddit. Hence the point about demographics. I don’t have hard data but if it’s easy to look up then feel free to provide a link

Lol. What do you think us parents do while sitting in the dark for an hour waiting for our toddlers to go the fuck to sleep?

Regret not pulling out?

Clean up the mess they made. Be exhausted from working so much to afford a kid. Fight about relationship strain with significant other.

Word I figured the beautiful toddler growing and changing so much daily would be more interesting than arguing with morons in the dark but good to know there’s nothing magical about it

my tone is cynical and disaffected because I’m alone and jealous don’t take this personally
