Kingsman: Golden Circle looks like it'll be good in a fun action movie way. Had no idea about Bright until this morning but it looks decent as well.

Yes to these as well.

Even though I haven't bothered going to the theater for a movie in a while I may have to for some of these. Still want to see Baby Driver before it leaves theaters.

I'd forgotten that there was a Kingsman sequel coming. Thank you.
I'm excited about ready Player One - I've been meaning to read the book for some time. I'm also cautiously hopeful for the new Wrinkle In time movie. The last one... deviated significantly from the source. It's a testament to how much nerd people like the book that they're tackling it again this soon.

That, too. Nice boobs are always worth notice. At least from my cis-male heterosexual (did I say that right? I'm not terribly hip on all the words for gender nowadays) viewpoint. I can't speak for any other.

I've heard that male humans are genetically predisposed to like a nice butt, because that's what we get to look at after successfully wooing the female, in the default-until-missionary-style mating ritual. Not sure about why boobs are so wondrous.

Hips/butt showing pelvic development good for childbirth, I'd assume, and along with breasts being a signifier of fertility?

It's all that "selfish gene" poo poo really, I suppose, evolution logically favours traits that make you want to gently caress.

Well, for the first few years of your life, that's where you get your food from, so I guess they continue to look big and tasty when you are an adult.

Humans are the only species that have evolved permanent boobs (ie present outside of pregnancy/nursing) and some biologists theorize that it's specifically because we started doing missionary however many million years ago, basically they developed as like a frontal visual equivalent to rear end cheeks

this has been your dumb evolutionary fact of the day, back to designing cams for my kinematics class

There was a thing I watched recently that debunked that in a way that made me go 'oh yeah' but I can't recall where I saw it. It's just as well anyway, even if you aren't a boob person on birth you can certainly become one in western society in short order as that prolly has more to do with the fetishization of breasts. Lots of cultures in Africa don't care about boobs.

You're absolutely right, and the theory that boobs are due to switching to missionary has been generally debunked by anthropologists.

Here's a decent overview:
https://www.livescience.com/23500-why-men-love-breasts.html

The so-called "nipple-oxytocin bonding loop" is not universally accepted, but it's a better explanation than the "looks like a front butt" one.

Holy gently caress these :biotruths: that have been debunked for 100+ years are bad and wrong. You lot are inquisitive, curious, educatable (and educated) dudes. Go to your hospital and ask to be admitted to the medical library. They have tons of books on how titties and vaginas work for 14 year olds. Titties are not front-top butts and that idea is so proven wrong at this point in anthropological research over the last 150 years, not to mention human sexuality research that's happened in the last 70 years. Missionary position was not invented in the late 1800s. Have you people never seen the Khaleesi showing Khal Drogo how to gently caress like a normal person? Do you think the term "French kissing' was invented during the reign of Louis XII or do you buy that it was invented by American GI's in the 1940's thanks to them bringing freedom, chocolate bars, and... nylons? To the deprived french girls?

Everything in life is down to cultural norms. If you look at the first girl you made the sex with and compared her to the next 15 or 20 bitches you be loving, you will probably identify that 75% of those girls are the same body and look archetype. None of this poo poo is genetic, unless you believe that women like the big dongs because Gorillas have big dongs. (they have tiny dongs.)

For the idea that titties = buttocks one would have to find a universal appreciation and sexualization of The Tittehs but as it turns out almost all of the cultures that aren't driven by strictly imagined victorian norms (the US and the UK) titties are not sexualized in the same way at all. See: Topless beaches in 99% of european places where the English blokes side-eye titties all day, the Californians pretending to be English blokes side eye the titty 24/7 because we're smart enough to wear mirrored sunglasses, and the people from there don't even notice there is even a titty. Additionally, Africa, France, Portugal, Greece, most of the non-christian paciific, and almost everywhere else where titties aren't even a loving big deal at all.

Alternately, investigate how titties are dealt with in strict oppressive regimes like Saudi Arabia. Look at Pornhub data about where the biggest purveyors of porn reside. Utah, Saudi, and Pakistan.

I mean, yes, as other posters and myself mentioned, but you've avoided the Big Question which is why did humans evolve big boobs when they're basically a hindrance in all respects save when nursing, and the other mammals seem to manage nursing without having large teats at all times. That question is not well settled and it's an interesting subject to ponder for the layperson as well as the scientist.

Similarly although less discussed is why human males have suck large dongs compared to our body size. It's certainly not a requirement for successful reproduction, plenty of mammals the same size as us manage it with smaller wedding tackle.

Coworker got stuck with a customer who told him all about his butthole problems for a good 10 minutes while I went and finished my closing duties, then came over and told the coworker to do something in the back to rescue him. Notable quotes include "Every time I eat or poo poo, my rear end in a top hat pulsates for a good 10 hours man" and "Yeah, sounds like that dude was just trying to cover their rear end". Dude has nobody to talk to except his wife and I get he's lonely, but drat dude, don't dump it all out on random strangers.

It seems to be a characteristic much more frequent among highly social group animals; dolphins and bonobos are probably most famous for it, but there's quite a few more. Sex as reinforcement of social bonds is pretty effective. (Note: certain :biotruths: people use this as a justification for serial infidelity, polygamy, incest, pedophilia, rape, etc.)
