      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

          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.

        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.
