Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

the post is simply about disproving telegony in humans and is a response to a recent Time mag post about telegony/microchimerism in humans, which time mag was wrong, but people on here still took it seriously.

Except that it's been proven that when you get a blood transfusion you do get some of the foreign DNA incorporated into your own. It also happens due to organ transplants.

Tl;Dr microchimerism only occurs during pregnancy due to blood/cell exchange between the mother and fetus, it doesn't occur during the transmission of semen into the vagina. That kind of microchimerism has only been observed in a single species of fruit fly.
