“Rabbit sex, how?”

The question may sound ridiculous.

But isn't it more ridiculous that some company decided that the correct answer to such innocent and curious question is basically "That knowledge is too dangerous, you shouldn't ask that."?

I mean, yes. Why?

Why would nature encode such a ridiculously disproportionate / inefficient behavior when it leads to catastrophe so frequently?

I've tried to ask these machines dumber questions like, why castles? And... well I'm working on a few projects (mostly by hand) that they've helped with! :)

I like to ask dumb questions. It's fun. I encourage it.

  • Lots of species are r-selected, I don't see why that would be considered inefficient. In fact I think there are probably more r-strategists than K-strategists.

  • Just as stating the wrong thing would be the quickest way to elicit a response in the past, so too can 'dumb' questions prime the context for more complex queries.

    I am all for this strategy, and revisiting my list is equal parts fun and conducive to long-term recall.

  • Answer: Because rabbits are tasty. If they didn't hit the ground hopping and bopping, the species would have died out long ago.

Rabbits are a good input calorie to output meat ratio, and their excrement makes good cold compost. They breed and litter relatively easily. Theyre also easy to house.
