See:  how many cultures around the world just strap kids to their backs and go about their lives pretty much as normal

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Met my nephew, age 9. Days, not years. Realized that babies make me incredibly uneasy. I don't trust the tiny poop machines. They seem... Fragile.

Weird, wrinkly, hairless, uselessly proportioned limbs, never looking happy, never silent.
It's insane to think that billions of years of evolution are supposed to make me find them cute. Babies are one of the least cute things I can think of.

They're basically on a par with knees, but even needier.

Gentlemen, I agree with you but with one exception, when the freshly made biological defecation machine is yours, all those millions of year of evolution kick in really hard. Its an overwhelming thing.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

They have more redeeming features once they're past the newborn stage. After a few months they stop being angry shaved orangutans and start being able to do things like smile and laugh, which makes them a little less hideous.

This. Brains are pretty good at drugging you into loving your baby.

As my sister says, no. No they're not. It takes incredible force to break baby bones, because they're exceptionally flexible. This is why hospitals automatically assume abuse if you bring in an infant with a broken bone. Their skulls are delicate, sure. Soft. But the baby as a whole is basically helpless wolverine.
So, you're saying the Incredibles would win against Wolverine?

I mean, maybe. If nothing else it'd be a fun crossover.

Wolverine auto-heals though.

The Incredibles don't.

Jack-Jack's got a huge array of superpowers. He might auto-heal, who knows?
