I mean, "horny" is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe you're just really into hockey players hitting each other into the boards?

It’s wild that the same people who are worried about declining birth rates are also the ones who claim that AI and robots are going to do all the work and innovating for us. Like, if that were true, then what’s the downside of declining birth rates?
