Which is what I said in my post that uid0grid0 responded to, saying that I needed anatomy lessons.
Sperm is not a child.
An egg is not a child.
A fertilized egg is also not a child, but some people think it is.
Some people also don't take this anywhere that serious and y'all's conversation seems really silly. Nobody on Lemmy (within reason, I'm sure there are idiots here too) is going to seriously argue that either gamete is a child.
These types of conversations are the ones that make me question just how prevalent autism is on Lemmy. People engage in wordplay and don't literally mean what they say all the time yet these types of comments are 90% on posts like this.
The comment I originally replied to wasn't word play.
I think what's going on here, and what often does, is that people don't read a reply as a reply to a specific comment chain. They instead see it as a reply to the post itself or a stand alone comment.
