PLOS Biology optimising SEO for the #PenisSize hashtag demographic
Why is the human #penis unusually large compared to other primates? @upama.bsky.social @mikejennions.bsky.social &co show that #genital size is a cue for male-male assessment in humans, so #PenisSize likely evolved due to both female choice & male-male rivalry @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/45tjF33

Copyright is only helpful for the person who is able to enforce it. Slapping tokens on stuff to make a file "unique" is the opposite of what made the web a cool place. The solution is not locking everything up. I'd say the solution is coming together, make art and just have fun.

I'll essentially just walk through the whole
