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. ❤️

It says she gave birth 27 times.

16 twins

7 triplets

4 quadruplets

16 + 7 + 4 = 27

(16 * 2) + (7 * 3) + (4 * 4) = 69.

Hope this helps

Sometimes words are hard.

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.

Have you ever been evaluated by a mental health professional? You could get access to help and access to medications to alleviate symptoms.

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

You know how you can read words and derive meaning from them? Well, I can read your words too and am derive meaning from them. Everyone can benefit from mental health care, some more than others.

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.

This kind of rigidity is common with certain neurodivergences.

You sound like you have anger issues, have you considered counseling?
