Yeah, I’m happy to clarify.

The way I understand it, “bisexual” is a very broad term that encompasses all people who are attracted to people of the same (or a similar) gender as them and also to genders different than their own. That is the “bi” in bisexual, both homo and hetero, not attraction to men and women. Under this definition, pansexuals are a specific type of bi that are attracted to people equally, regardless of gender. There are other microlabels that fit within bisexual too, some of which might better fit how I experience attraction, but this is where we get into the function of a label.

Labels exist to convey general information in a concise way, without having to explain things all the time. Under the bi umbrella, there are only two terms which the average person who’s aware of the LGBT community might have heard of: bi and pan. Thus, unless you want to constantly have a definition at hand or send people to the wiki, you are heavily incentivized to use one of those terms. Having no label would be even worse, since then you would need to give a whole spiel every time you’re asked. It’s ultimately a pragmatic decision to use a term that more people recognize over one that might be more “technically correct.”

So, constrained to either bi or pan, I think bi is the more appropriate term for me. Sometimes I feel equally attracted to all genders, but my preferences towards similar and different genders shift back and forth, often being heavily favored in one direction or the other. So I use the broader term of bisexual to encompass the full spectrum of my feelings on the matter.

Hope that helps!

People don’t label themselves according to rigid definitions.

I’m not a morning person either, but I have ADHD, so coffee does nothing for me. I have to get up 2 hours before I have to leave or else I’m just simply not awake, which is plenty of time for a run.

I don’t actually go for a run, but I could. Theoretically.

Hollow Knight; I’m playing it for the first time and I’ve progressed enough to get the true ending, but I’m going to do some of the side content before I do. Probably not 100%ing, I’ve already struggled to get this far, but I’ll try to get every charm and finish the Troupe before finishing off my playthrough. It’s a great game, and I’m definitely excited to play Silksong, if that manages to release within my lifetime.

According to Wikipedia, jizz is 2-5% sperm by volume. Assuming the mean of 3.5, that’s still a 3.2cm sphere of sperm; add all the supportive tissue and germ cells surrounding it (which make up the majority of testicular volume) and that would definitely be larger than the typical 5×2×3cm ellipsoid.

Each individual ball would actually be about 9.85cm, assuming they’re both the same size.

Can’t wait to spend trillions of years floating in the vacuum of space or crushed inside a black hole while unable to die. Immortality is the worst possible curse, not a super power.

Snopes has an article on it, and even they couldn’t come up with a solid number.

Reddit OP has made several versions of the same map as part of an alternate history project. The one I shared is the most recent update; I couldn’t track down the exact version from the tweet.

It’s a urinal, I would hope it doesn’t have access to any poop to analyze.

The word theory is used differently in science to how it is in common speech. In science, a “theory” represents humanity’s best possible explanation for something given everything we know. For example, the theory of gravity gives a reason for why things are attracted to each other, namely the bending of spacetime.

Theories don’t become laws, either. Laws in science describe what happens, and theories describe how. To go back to gravity, the law of gravity is an equation that can tell you exactly how much two objects will be attracted to each other, but it can’t explain how that happens. That’s what the theory is for.

Hope this helps!

I’ll give it a shot anyways, to play devil’s advocate.

I only buy a vanishingly small percentage of the amount of meat produced by factory farms every year. So I feel the same percentage responsible for perpetuating that system, which isn’t nearly enough to keep me up at night.

🙋 I’ve hunted deer, gutted and skinned them myself too. The tenderloins are great sauteed, and the rest of the meat is good ground (just don’t cook it as long as hamburger, it’s more lean).
