    For those curious, from Wikipedia:

    Giving birth is difficult for female hyenas, as the females give birth through their narrow clitoris, and spotted hyena cubs are the largest carnivoran young relative to their mothers’ weight. During parturition, the clitoris ruptures to facilitate the passage of the young, and may take weeks to heal.

      Eve: “So, what’s she do to piss off god?”
      Serpent: “you don’t even wanna know.”

      Eh the Christian god really is an asshole,

        Abrahamic* to be precise. They’re all the same asshole, just different names. (And, even that was listed from earlier cultures’ traditions, FFS. Lazy, unoriginal, and fucking stupid? That tracks for religion all around, really.)

          I love how the gen 1 creation story basically reads like schoolboys one upping their friends about how great their dad is.

          “Yeah. Well, my god made the world and everything in it! and he took a nap on. The seventh day!!!

            Swap out “schoolboys” with “old fear-mongering pervs”, and you’re even closer to the historical truth.

              well, they were old fearmongering pervs, no doubt.

              I was just referring to the simple fact that the creation account was a cloned copy of all the others… just wit that squeaky “Yeah well my dad’s twice the fireman your dad is” vibe. Sad they used their supposed power of their god to justify rampant invasions and genocide. (which they failed at the genocide because they were too busy raping…)

                They didn’t fail at genocide. That’s not an absolute, it’s a process. They may’ve failed at outright extinction most often (though some scattered empires of old would point out that they were destroyed by religion), but genocide is an inalienable aspect of every single religion known to mankind. Right up there with molesting children and blatantly plagiarizing “sacred” text whole cloth from other grifter “holy” men.

                  They failed the first time around (“invasion” of the Canaanite lands, where they were told to genocide their neighbors.)

            Fun fact, there’s a metaphorical dick-measuring contest in the bible, 1 Kings 18, 21 onwards (had to google it). Basically, Elijah wanted to prove GAHD was greater than Baal. Long story short, GAHD proved HE could light firewood that’s been dumped with water 4 times, while Baal was busy ignoring his followers from dawn to midday.

      This might help.

      Female Hyena’s have what is called a pseudo-penis. Which is used for sex and urination, as well as giving birth.

      Obviously giving birth splits it open fucks your whole year / life up.

        “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
        Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
        Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
        Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

            Here’s another:

            I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

            Isiah 45:7

            In the land of intellectual adulting, however, people who know their history know the cult of YHWY, originally a single god from what was the Canaanite pantheon, clear evidence of which is still present in even the Old Testament, subsumed the mythological roles of protector and catastrophe, hero and villain, creator and destroyer in its path to monotheism.

              From what i’ve saw from videos on religious archaeology, the “definitive” yaweh is an amalgamation of 2 or 3 gods into one, which explains why his personality varies wildly from text to text. Vengeful asshole here, incompetent god of war against iron chariots, all loving elsewhere

        Or God is a ten year old who is playing around with a world generating machine and has since forgot about us.

        We’re just one of the thousands of world saves he placed on a memory card and threw into the closet and forgot about.

          To be fair, if you look at the pale blue dot imagery, it really captures how difficult it would be to find us looking down in the universal sandbox. We might have simply been overlooked.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination

        Yea wth

        The process is detrimental to the female’s health. It creates an open wound which impairs the female until it heals, and is susceptible to infection. The injection of sperm and ejaculatory fluids into the hemocoel can also trigger an immune reaction in the female. Bed bugs, which reproduce solely by traumatic insemination, have evolved a pair of sperm-receptacles, known as the spermalege. It has been suggested that the spermalege reduces the direct damage to the female bed bug during traumatic insemination

        Yep I’m out before one of you furries makes a cartoon out of this.

    To understand it better how is the aspect of the clitoris of a female Hyena, as said, they give birth through a penis. Certainly hardcore.
