American here. I'm choosing to believe that this is just a normal, everyday amount of poop-related slang for the UK, and that you're not playing it up for comedic effect.

Excuse me, sir or madam. This is science memes. Science dad jokes is that-a-way 👉

Damn that looks like the prelude to an IRL funeral

Human brains are literal pattern-recognition and classifying machines. It's what they have evolved for millions of years to do. We're hard wired to observe nature, detect patterns, and classify things based on those patterns to help focus on new info and not be overwhelmed by the world.

Gender is just a shorthand that we've developed for classifying people into groups, based on key commonalities about how most of us tend to look and behave.

It's like the names we give to colors. We can all name a handful of main colors off the top of our head, and we've even named a few as "primary" colors because of how they interact together. But someone would have to be an absolute fucking moron to insist that primary colors are the only "real" colors, just because the idea of primary colors has some basis in color theory.

Honestly the best solution, as with most traffic annoyances, is just to quietly curse at them as you go about your day and let the police deal with enforcing the laws.

When trying to teach someone a lesson, you might get the occasional person who was absent-mindedly being annoying, but most people are just going to come away from the interaction thinking YOU are the asshole. Not to mention the person who is being an asshole on purpose looking for confrontation...

I think it depends. Most people could already get away with a lot of immoral or antisocial behaviors without super powers, but most of us still don't.

The Boys is an interesting one because there are hundreds of supes out there, enough to have a community of depravity. If you were the only one with super powers and you decided to majorly abuse them, you'd be a social outcast, even if you didnt face strict punishment, which most of us would really not want.

According to google the town of Midwest, WY has 283 people, which is damn near half of the state's population. So add in a few more confused cowboys and that checks out.

I'll take "the literal definition of a meme, which is coincidentally also the name of the sub I am currently commenting on" for $800, Alex.
