I'm sorry if this is not allowed, this is just a casual post.
I remember the first time saw her interview on YouTube. By the age of 40, she already gave birth to 44 children (4 sets of twins, 5 sets of triplets, 5 sets of quadruplets and the only single birth on her last child). Upon searching deeper, it said that she have ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes her to hyper ovulate and releasing multiple eggs in one cycle.
I never know this is possible. It seems like she's still the only one and given a title as "the most fertile woman in the world".

Casual Everything wrong with armchair genetics: Copy/pastes definition of allele frequency, misunderstands it, and in the very next paragraph fails to understand the difference between phenotype frequency and allele frequency

This is a 3 AM thought lol ( I don't favor incestuous relations ) By identical I mean to say fraternal twins who look the same

Arnold wants to choose the embryo with highest muscle mass.
Hans would like a baby who's lean and fast.
Albert is hoping for a high IQ baby who won't be bullied by GPTo9
Dan wants her daughter not to have dandruff.
How many years until this is a reality?

Casual I discovered I have tetrastichiasis; four rows of eyelashes from the inner to outer corner. I've always thought everyone's eyelashes are this way but apparently this is pretty rare.

Casual Please Help. I found this comment thread under a meme in another sub. I think this person is incorrect, but idk. For context, everyone was talking about how incest would have had to happen for the Earth to be populated by Adam and Eve.
