What about “old as shit”? I bet that’s a lot older
I was thinking the same, so I looked into it!
The oldest creature in the evolutionary chain that has been found to poop (from what I found online) is the comb jelly fish. They are thought to have evolved somewhere between 500 million and 600 million years ago
So shit is pretty old but not as old as fuck
Still, older than balls
Unexpected! Thank you for your research :)
huh. how did animals get rid of waste before that? did they explode?
I think they were just multicellular organisms that got rid of the shit by diffusion from the cells themselves, without a specific path for the shit to go down like a butthole.
We’re talking wayyyy before complex organisms existed
Old as hell would be 4.5 billion years old when all of Earth was just a ball of lava.
I’d go with the imaginary route.
You can make up how old it is since it doesn’t matter. Memes? Old as all hell. Breaking mews? Old as all hell. Doesn’t matter if it’s Musk Harris deep faked videos or slowpoke style news drops about clips of Monica blowies.
Just for clarification, mammalia are much older.
And specifically about balls; while the Wikipedia article wasn’t helpful this time, this article says it was 100 million years ago.
Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways
What about old as shit?
Older than balls but younger than fuck if i remember right
If you ask linguists, then “old as fuck” only dates back to the 14th century.
Science Rules!!!
So what did we (all) do before testicles…?
We crossed our legs freely without having to adjust.
Oh, the dream~
Maybe look at plants and fungi and how they do it.
Could be a paleontologist.
If something is “older than dirt” that means it’s at least 18,000 years old but can be millions of years old depending on where you live:
Some people shouldn’t get high
False, how else would we come up with interesting and obscure trivia
Drinking, the same way we answer it at bars
No, that’s where you regurgitate facts.
TIL bourbon is a fact
That’s correct.
Otoh, short as fuck, is what , 30s?
TIL: Fangorn forest is 65 million years old.
Technically, it’s Mesolithic.
How can biologists base their knowledge on THEORIES?
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!
Thanks, very helpful… ;)

I have been reaching out to the object storage provider to see if I can increase the rate limits… Unfortunately I might need to change to a different provider to overcome this. Since the migration takes several days, especially so because of those same rate limits, I would rather avoid this…
