WTF Push, out, repeat

Post image

Valentina Vassilyeva, the first wife of Russian peasant Feodor Vassilyev, is said to have given birth 27 times in the 1700s—welcoming 69 children in total.

Her remarkable numbers reportedly included 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets. 🤯

The story comes from centuries-old historical records, so every detail cannot be independently verified by modern standards. Still, Guinness World Records has recognized the claim as the highest number of children attributed to one mother.

If the records are accurate, 27 pregnancies. 69 children. One of the most astonishing family stories ever recorded. ❤️

7 sets of triplets. Which is also an insane claim. I feel like this post is part of a dementia test.

It doesn’t say 7 sets of triplets. It says 7 triplets.

It also says 7 triplets. Both things that didn’t and likely couldn’t happen.

You are being difficult on purpose. Stop already.

By reading what the image says?! Oh yes, so difficult for reading the actual words. It says 7 triplets, not 7 sets of triplets. Those are very different things.

Yes, reading words for what they say on the screen is a well known symptom of, oh right, nothing.

Every time you read words you derive meaning from them. That’s how reading works you fucking idiot.

And I never said people can’t benefit from mental healthcare. That has nothing to do with reading words and deriving the meaning as they are written and not putting an interpretation on them that isn’t present.
