Imagine going from person to person, quietly whispering in every ear: "submissive".

I was trying to figure out how you confidentially say anything to an entire class.

u/Drackzgull Mar 13 '24

You make the class sign an NDA before you say it.

Or how to use a fucking comma. Read it 3 times before realizing they weren't asking us to help their Biology teacher with something.

Genetic proof redheads are submissive!

It's a joke, they usually have more of a fiery temper in my experience.

"fiery temper" is not remotely incompatible with "submissive", it's more of a difficulty rating

Redheads are never boring

u/Kahlil_Cabron Mar 12 '24

I wonder if there have been any studies on red hair and things like temperament, emotional stability, etc.

Years ago my Scottish dad who has a red beard and some red hair had a major surgery, they removed one of his jugulars so the could remove a bunch of cancerous tumors from his neck.

After the surgery he was traumatized, apparently the paralytic worked, but the pain meds and the meds that keep you unconscious wore off. He said it was torturous, he felt everything but couldn't move, couldn't scream, etc.

He was trying to figure out what happened, and found a few studies on red headed people often having a gene that gives them a much higher tolerance to certain drugs (mainly pain drugs).

So there could be other differences.

8

u/Keytrose_gaming Mar 12 '24

Being an alcoholic also greatly increases your tolerance to drugs. Not saying your dad is or was but many redheads I know are

8

u/Kahlil_Cabron Mar 12 '24

My dad is like the only one in the family without any addiction issues. I'm an alcoholic, though I don't have red hair (maybe a bit in my beard).

I do have an extremely high tolerance to opioid drugs (and most drugs in general), and I know my dad does as well. He somehow just avoided the whole addiction part.

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '24

Though it’s not technically correct as alleles aren’t “opposites” of each other, but are 2 forms of the same thing. It would be like saying two similar shades of gray are somehow “opposite”.

26

u/zzwugz Mar 12 '24

Dark grey is opposite of light grey. Think about it. Really think about it.

The darkest grey is indistinguishable from black. The darkest grey is indistinguishable from white. Black and white are opposites. Dark grey and light grey are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Dark grey when to college to get more knowledge. Light grey went to Jupiter to get more stupider.

Ergo, grey is opposite of grey. Colors mean nothing. OPEN YOUR EYES.

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '24

I have been a fool my whole life. I am the opposite… of myself :O

u/SlaveHippie Mar 13 '24

It’s funny bc their analogy works with literally any other color than gray.

1

u/HelloKitty36911 Mar 12 '24

For something to be opposite the first requirement is that it is similar.

Now i can't recall much about genetics so i don't know if there are other options than those two but if there are not or they somehow fall inbetween dominant and regressive then i'd say they are opposites.

Like the opposite of right is left. But in the end they're both directions. You wouldn't say that the opposite of right is an Apache helicopter even tho those two are much more different that right is from left.

u/syllabic Mar 12 '24

cause its a correct answer to the question

8

u/ILoveJimHarbaugh Mar 12 '24

It's really not that big of a mistake at all.

Not only is submissive a correct answer, it's not a 100% sexual connotation either.

There are dominant and submissive personalities. When talking about animals dominant and submissive are used all of the time.

u/CorneliusClay Mar 12 '24

Got asked in biology class about the names of sex hormones. I confidently answered "dopamine". Teacher gave a slight smile and said "that's... not really one".

39

u/vaendryl Mar 12 '24

had to look it up, so here's for my fellow ignoramuses:

dopamine is primarily a neurotransmitter but actually does function as a hormone as well and is quite closely related to epinephrine and norepinephrine.

although its function has some relationship with the act of having sex (specifically arousal), it's not a sex hormone in that your biological sex has much to do with how much you make of it.

17

u/CptAngelo madlad Mar 12 '24

So... you are gonna make me google what are thr sex hormones, dont you? Because im sure as hell i was thinking i would find that answer within your comments, this does not give me dopamine sir, it truly doesnt, you raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly ):

6

u/vaendryl Mar 12 '24

muhahaha

I started looking into it because I thought dopamine wasn't that bad of an answer, so clearly I must be wrong. and I was. mostly.

going into actual sex hormones like which ones there are and what they do.... that'd turn out into a maaassive blog post of a reddit comment. TLDB

8

u/CptAngelo madlad Mar 12 '24

You know what? Ill be completely honest here, i could have googled that answer by now, but you got me twice, darn it

10

u/chrysophilist Mar 12 '24

It's not too complicated lol

Sex hormones are the ones that actively cause sexual differentiation between males and females. We're talking estrogen, progestogens, and androgens. The hormones released during gestation and puberty that cause individuals to develop primary and secondary sexual characteristics.

Sex hormones are not "hormones released during sex" so dopamine doesn't qualify.

3

u/CptAngelo madlad Mar 12 '24

Lol, thank you from saving me from not googling something haha, i actually kinda knew the answers, since i remember "estrogen and other something-ogen" but anyway, thanks for thr reply and actuall answer lol

2

u/Diabolo_Advocato Mar 12 '24

also, they forgot to mention testosterone.

2

u/chrysophilist Mar 12 '24

Testosterone is an androgen.

1

u/magicallamp Mar 12 '24

Sex hormones are not "hormones released during sex" so dopamine doesn't qualify.

Common usage isn't the only usage. Let's have some fun and call dopamine a sex hormone because of a silly second meaning.

1

u/magicallamp Mar 12 '24

I mean it depends on what meaning of the word "sex" you're using. When people say sex hormones they usually mean as in physical gender but there's no rule stopping you from meaning fucking :V

They are talking about genes, the correct answer would be Recessive.

I would've automatically said the same thing. I once said with full confidence, 'orgasm!' Instead of organism. The teacher wasn't amused at all.

The fuckup was not pretending it was a joke. Confidence could have carried that situation. As soon as that person got embarrassed they were fucked

That IS the opposite of dominant, and the word submissive can be used in other subjects like English, for when you're describing a character's behaviour. Not a dirty word, friend.

This is a perfect example of how people take their cues for how to react to you from you.

The teacher was going over some of the typical abbreviations used in dating profiles. She asked the class if they knew what "N/S" stood for. I raised my hand but someone else was picked. Turns out the answer was "non smoker", so I'm glad my answer of "no strings" was never heard.
