The thing with women doing DNA test for their child is not as stupid as it may look. Depending on hospital and circumstances, mother can be separated from her child after it was born for some time (hours, possibly even days if it has to go into incubator). Mistakes can happen and children can be switched. Even though all hospitals I know have procedures to prevent this, it already happened more then few times. With father taking DNA test, you are most often looking for evidence of cheating. With mother taking DNA test you would be checking if some moron in hospital did not switch your newborn kid for another.

[@MarcelaElviraTimis]

Also, in vitro fertilisation with donated eggs makes the resulting baby not genetically related to the mother

[@johnalexchr]

This is extra good when one of a pair of identical twins gets switched, and then they meet later in life when they are both adults and do a DNA test to find out that this random person who grew up in a completely different area is your identical twin, and the sibling you've grown up with believeing is your twin is just some rando's child that got switched.

[@azetka4029]

There was also a court case, when a woman turned to not be a mother to her so-thought child. It turned out that woman had "absorbed" her not identical twin sister while in utero, and twin's cells adapted to become fully functional gonads that produced their own egg cells, with their genetic material obviously different from the actual woman. Carrying in your body more than one set of genome is called chimerism, and is fucked up shit.

[@Valcuda]

As traits become more socially accepted, it isn't surprising when more people start having that trait. It isn't that they didn't have the trait before, it's that they were terrified to show it before. In Kindergarten, I lived in Texas, which was known for being Anti-Left hand. I made the horrible mistake of 'choosing' to be left handed. So my teacher tried her hardest to get me to use my right hand (luckily, this was in the early 2000s, so couldn't be physically forced). So in Texas, I wasn't very vocal about being left handed. Luckily, I have hand confusion (dollar store ambidexria, where I only have one dominant hand, but it's different per task) which made that kinda easy to hide, since I seemed right handed most of the time. Then I eventually moved to Maine, which doesn't have a problem, and I was seen as cool instead of 'wrong'. Suddenly, I was more vocal about being left handed, and my hand writing started to improve, now that I was able to write without being stopped constantly to have my pencil be moved to my right hand.

[@undeadprincess5726]

May not be the same, but I grew up in Cali. Half of my teachers, including an elementary school principal, tried to "correct my autism" involving me masking most of my traits (lest I be screamed at or punished), even the group for helping autistic kids told me "tough shit, we cant help you" for 3 YEARS.

Minor injuries, a hole in the ceiling, and a ban on the experiment ever being performed again.

It's a lot like how far planets are from the Sun. There's an exhibit on the National Mall in DC of the distances from the Sun at a scale of 1 to 10 billion. You start at the Sun (grapefruit size), and go 30 feet to see the Earth (size of a grain of sand). To see Neptune, you go another 1/4 mile. I did it, and it made the size of the solar system sink in. The only way to truly understand big numbers are to take the time to contextualize them (like the model solar system, and like Tom Scott did in his video), or to make them distinct. For instance, write "net worth of $70,000 million", not "$70 billion". There's a great xkcd comic about this, it's number 558.

I for example had an IQ of 118 when I was 16(10y ago) which means at the time my IQ was 18% higher than average. Could be lower today, could be higher, would've to take a test today to see that. You can just look this up but heey learning for Satan in Clicky wicky's Comments so why not xD

[@connorhamilton5707]

It's not really a linear scale of what percentage higher or lower than average you are, it is more of a rough ranking system. 100 is the center of the scale, but 90-109 is considered average, and about 50% of the population fits in this range. 110 is at the 75th percentile, meaning it is higher than 75% of the population.

[@catelynh1020]

Plus IQ tests have an issue where you're being tested on the test, not your actual IQ. What do I mean by this? An IQ test has text, so if you're not familiar with the words or the language, you'll already take a hit on your score. You can also practice for an IQ test since good chunks of it are pattern recognition but there's only so many patterns you're likely to see and so you can train yourself without increasing your "intelligence" to see the pattern quicker or more accurately. There's also level of exposure to related questions or trying too hard. For instance, there was a click video not too long ago that had a find the pattern with the assumption that little kids would have an easier time than older people. The reason was because older people, or people who'd had more schooling, would think of more complex ways to look at the problem instead of just looking at it. If I remember right, it was like this: 1+2=0 3+4=1 8+0=3 8+4=? The answer was the number of circles in the numbers, but a higher education would make you more likely to start by examining the math portion. Is it multiplication or division, are the numbers prime or is it that they're divided by something and the answer is the remainder, etc. Because you've been exposed to years and years of math, you see it as a math problem instead of a visual problem.

[@M_M_ODonnell]

@@catelynh1020 There's no such thing as "actual IQ" -- IQ is performance on the test. It doesn't measure a coherent existing trait, it's a "measure" defined by the test itself. (At best it's a flawed summary of a whole range of different cognitive abilities into a one-dimensional measure; the only even halfway reasonable use it has is in considering unusual gaps in performance among different parts of the test.)

[@devforfun5618]

@@M_M_ODonnell it could really be a good way to discover which questions the person has a harder time solving so they can improve on that particular skill set, the score part is the more useless

[@RayAkuma]

@@connorhamilton5707 from what I've learned about IQ tests the scaling is literally made so 100 represents the average. Could be outdated though my knowledge stems from the Doctor who made that test with me and it's been quite some time.

Slavery is actually still legal in the US though, as long as the slaves are prisoners.

[@JoshSweetvale]

Also Illegal aliens aren't citizens and thus have no rights. Now do you remember those kids that got thrown in a concentration camp? Can you say legal slavery in America?

[@FNLNFNLN]

@@JoshSweetvale No, actually. On paper, there's a couple of the amendment rights that apply to everyone, including non citizens. Supreme Court precedence (US vs Wong Kim Ark, 1898) establishes that whenever the US constitution says "person", it means ALL people, not just US citizens. Anything in the bill of rights that doesn't specify "citizens" applies to everyone. Enforcement, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. The text of the law doesn't really matter, all that matters is how the law is enforced.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

Unfortunately, getting rid of that provision would make community service unconstitutional, and I don't think anyone wants people sent to prison for the kinds of things community service sentences are typically given for.

[@FNLNFNLN]

@@RabblesTheBinx That's a false dichotomy. There's plenty of middle ground there. For example, you could mandate that convicts can only be made to do work with their consent. Someone offered a choice between community service could consent to that instead of going to prison, while someone already serving time could just decline. This also illustrates why running to the constitution for everything is just really fucking dumb. It's ancient, extremely narrow in scope, and inflexible.

[@catelynh1020]

One of the worst things about it is that many times, those jobs are not available to the same person when they get out of prison. As in, they go to jail and become a slave, learn a skill and become proficient in it for slave wages, then when they're "free" again, they cannot have the same job because they have a criminal record. This is especially true in firefighting. Apparently prisoners are trained to be firefighters but they literally can't continue fighting fires when they're ex-prisoners. I think this topic was brought up in regards to California's wildfire problem, but has been true for a long time. Many factory jobs are the same; once you're out of jail and no longer making the equivalent of $3 a day max, they wouldn't touch you with a 20 foot pole.

Slavery never left the U.S. Here's the 13th Amendment of our constitution. "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Prison labor is slave labor- and poc have been the target for imprisonment since the conception of American prisons.

@@SingingSealRiana Uhm, no. It's not illegal, never has been as far as I know. At least since the first world war, when women started to take over the men's jobs in factories they also started to wear their working clothes, which of cause consisted of pants. And ever since, there were women wearing pants in Germany. Of cause there still were places where it was considered indecorous, and some of these places have enforced a dress code (by exercising their property rights), but there was not general law.

The tomato rule you’re talking about at around 28:28 is for remembering how many feet are in a mile: “five tomatoes” sounds a bit like “five two eight o” when you say it aloud, and there are 5280 feet in a mile. The imperial measurement system is a huge mess.
