@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz humans need to not do this. its only ok when shrimp do it because its part of their reproductive strategy

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz its also ok when shrimp do it cause they have multiple babies at once w/ different fathers so all the guys involved still get to be dad

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz huh, i didn't know that. interesting. there's all sorts of unique reproduction strategies in nature. i saw a youtube from a biologist i watch that went into some species of bird that effectively has 4 sexes since there are 2 types of male and 2 types of female that have completely different mating and child rearing strategies

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz yeah that's kinda fucked up. shrimps are kinda funny since the females can only mate for like 15 minutes every 30 days (after molding, since if they mated too close to a molt they would just drop the eggs) so they just mate with a bunch of males in that limited window and the eggs get fertilized as they're laid
