Do you put the watermelon on the penis or in the vagina?


Either way will actually work as effective birth control, but they both have issues.

Because God made them with seeds. At least, that’s what it is for my aunt.

I hope she's also boycotting all the varieties of bananas that are usually sold in supermarkets, God originally put seeds in them as well:

It's not like seedless watermelons are all that "unnatural" anyway, they're just a sterile hybrid of two other kinds of watermelons. Pretty much the equivalent of crossing a horse with a donkey to create a mule.

And even then the seeded watermelons you can get in stores are way different to how they looked centuries ago:

.... which would also have been fairly different from how they originally looked in the wild before they were cultivated.

Genetic engineering can be selective breeding, which humans have been since before agriculture, or it can be directly manipulating an organism's DNA, which has been going on for only a few decades. The former is mostly incremental and well understood, but the latter could have unexpected environmental effects we don't necessarily expect yet. The GMO crop is going to be processed by your body more or less exactly like the non-GMO equivalent, but, for example, introducing an immunity to a particular pest may let another pest that was kept in check by the first pest spread. And the relative speed of these changes may create scenarios where ecosystems limited by the rate of natural selection can't cope.

This is all true, but it's not why anti-GMO people are against GMOs.

I love that the first guy they interview who is dead seat against GMOs is holding a bag of kale which is a brassica cultivar, which was genetically modified from a wild cabbage ancestor (along with cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, kohlrabi, etc etc).

The best part is that the story is actually Dark City but mecha. Plus Asimov, 'cause why not.

If I remember right the animation studio actually did work on Batman TAS though so that definitely played a part too; the TAS Batmobile shows up as an easter egg at one point.

Batman fuckin' loves giant mecha. He can't get enough of them.






Yes that last one is a dinosaur, and you'd better believe there was a tie-in animated movie


Sometimes he needs a bunch of Pacific Rim jaegers because all his supervillains get Godzillerized:

There's a brief shot of a parking garage and one of the cars is patterned after the Batmobile.
