What about “old as shit”? I bet that’s a lot older
I was thinking the same, so I looked into it!
The oldest creature in the evolutionary chain that has been found to poop (from what I found online) is the comb jelly fish. They are thought to have evolved somewhere between 500 million and 600 million years ago
So shit is pretty old but not as old as fuck
Still, older than balls
Unexpected! Thank you for your research :)
huh. how did animals get rid of waste before that? did they explode?
I think they were just multicellular organisms that got rid of the shit by diffusion from the cells themselves, without a specific path for the shit to go down like a butthole.
We’re talking wayyyy before complex organisms existed
Just for clarification, mammalia are much older.
And specifically about balls; while the Wikipedia article wasn’t helpful this time, this article says it was 100 million years ago.
If you ask linguists, then “old as fuck” only dates back to the 14th century.
Science Rules!!!
So what did we (all) do before testicles…?
Maybe look at plants and fungi and how they do it.
TIL: Fangorn forest is 65 million years old.
Technically, it’s Mesolithic.
Some people shouldn’t get high
False, how else would we come up with interesting and obscure trivia
Drinking, the same way we answer it at bars
No, that’s where you regurgitate facts.
TIL bourbon is a fact
That’s correct.
How can biologists base their knowledge on THEORIES?
Can’t load that image, I get this error:

I have been reaching out to the object storage provider to see if I can increase the rate limits… Unfortunately I might need to change to a different provider to overcome this. Since the migration takes several days, especially so because of those same rate limits, I would rather avoid this…
“Old as balls”???
That makes zero sense lol. Bravado, ego, pressure, these are the topics balls are in context with, not age.
