Talk:3127: Where Babies Come From

First, I guess. B for brain (talk) (youtube channel wobsite (supposed to be a blag)) 21:41, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

The geology one seems to be more just an inference that a baby would emerge through differential erosion/weathering from the parent rock body. The meteorological one is both a near actual weather related event description and also a pun on what happens during conception. Other entries also vary between being puns on conception or birth (technically kind of true) or just wrong inferences using their field (such as the “off by one”) 2A09:BAC2:39EE:240A:0:0:397:5A 22:09, 11 August 2025 (UTC)pakers

Yea I think the geology one reminds me of the reverse footsteps after snow (when you step in snow it compresses it which reduces melting compared to soft, noncompressed snow, meaning once the snow has melted the footsteps are now elevated) TheTrainsKid (talk) 22:18, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

0.001 kya (kilo years ago) is 0.001 x a thousand years ago (i.e. around a year ago) 82.42.161.198 22:36, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

.001kya is a one digit approximation for 9 months (technically .00075kya) MAP (talk) 01:59, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Actually, an approximation with precision of 1 year (= 1 a = 0.001 ka). A 5× more precise one-significant-figure approximation is 0.0008 kya (technically within actual variation, but further from the average than 0.00075). 2001:4C4D:12CE:DA00:11BB:2E59:DD89:1F6A 05:59, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Why did Randall make this comic?

My theory: he's gonna be a father soon and he's trying to figure out how to break the news to us. Caliban (talk) 15:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

This seems unlikely. Unless they're adopting ...? 205.175.118.102 16:57, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

She had breast cancer. You feed babies with breasts you do not give birth to them. So there is no problem getting kids after being treated for breast cancer. the question is if you wish to, given the risk of recurrence. But Randall has made lots of comics about babies so this comic is no different than those other that did not indicate Randall about to have one. --Kynde (talk) 06:21, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

I think the article could be a bit more clinical and direct. Right now, it's low on information, and high on vauge implication, aiming for wit. I'll take a crack at improving some sections, but I'm not sure what the intentions were for every part. 62.92.112.171 18:39, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Saying "contemporaneous documentation" suggests to me that the historians are seeking photographic or video evidence of the, erm, precipitating events. 72.204.242.221 19:48, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
