    No matter how old I get, I still find it weird thinking, even for a nanosecond, that for me to exist my parents and grandparents had to do THAT kind of thing.

      Go back like 30 generations, and see how many times people had to have fucked just to make you. 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16…

        30 generations ago required over 500k mating pairs. That would mean over a billion great-^28 grandparents. Though there is likely some overlap.

        And all that gene juice eventually trickled down to you.
