Ignore it on the side of the road, offer no help, but celebrate its ability to participate in capitalism!

If you're pre-born you're sacred. If you're pre-school, you're fucked.

Literally. Our nation is filling up with pedophiles and rapists at an alarming rate.

Behold, a car:

Transphobes be like: "No matter how much you try to reshape it with excessive physical force, or melt it by applying excessive heat, still a slab of raw iron!" (Is there some synonym for melting that could sound "gross"?)

I'm not sure, but you could always make a metaphor. Might I suggest the word sloughing, which is generally used to mean the shedding of dead tissue? Like say, "no matter how hot you work the iron to slough its form-". Though then again, might be a big ask for a transphobe to use a rhetorical device like that.

The term "pro-life" is proof for the right being the one engaging in "political correctness".

Texas and Farscape crossover: a mama truck births a vehicle, that vehicle is a crossover SUV.

What's the point of dunking on stupid things that don't actually correspond to what the people you don't like believe?

Because it baits out the people who can't deal with hyperbole, and it's hilarious how pissed they get!

and a child would be a pickup truck without the engine or what?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

what makes you think a child is not a ful-fledged ~~human~~ automobile?

i was making fun of the post because a fetus or a child arent just adults with parts missing

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A fetus technically is a human with most of the parts missing, so is a heart transplant or a strand of fallen out hair.

In practice though, during the usual period where abortion can happen a fetus is not much more human than a load of semen. Okay, it's technically diploid, but still just a bunch of cells.

Refusing an abortion for the life of the "child" in the first few months is like refusing a heart transplant for the wellbeing of your original heart.

i meant a fetus is not just a human with a bunch of parts missing. there are other differences to go with that, like being way smaller and needing another person's body to survive.

edit: for example, a fetus isn't just an adult's legs, while in the post, the "truck fetus" is the equivalent of that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In this example a child would be a pickup truck.

i dont see how the adult pickup truck wouldn't be a fully built one, since real children aren't considered fully developed human beings

plus the pickup truck could be called elderly when it's parts aren't working as well.

This is where the metaphor breaks down. Cars don't reproduce through sexual activity or experience a long period of maturity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

my whole point was that it wasn't a good metaphor
