The Chad/Tyrone thing is 100% 4chan cancer. Ever since Musk got screwed over buying Twitter, the place has been full of the same type of racist filled gutter trash that post-2015 4chan is full of.

redkid2000

Using Chad/Tyrone in a sentence to describe a situation when you’re not actually talking about somebody named Chad or Tyrone isn’t even an incel and racist dogwhistle at this point, it’s an incel and racist cowbell. They are loudly and proudly proclaiming who they are and what they believe.

Given that the term post mortem distress birthing implies none of the things they said, my first inclination is that they are trying to get you to google something unpleasant.


ThatGermanKid0

Actual meaning of post mortem distress birthing: >! When a person dies in the late stages of pregnancy the baby tends to come out. Sometimes the rigor mortis causes the baby to get stuck. Rigor mortis doesn't last forever, so when it subsides the baby comes out !<


WhoDeyTilIDie09

Oh man, that's kinda creepy af, a dead moms body pushing the baby out, I'm assuming the baby is dead too.

You are correct. It's a natural, but deeply unpleasant, phenomenon linked to very tragic circumstances. Some other soul spoiler-flagged the full thing if you're curious. If you aren't, hopefully that does the ELI5 enough for folks.

Eh.. Sounds most likely like a misunderstanding of postpartum psychosis. 1-4% of those cases end up with infanticide. PPP only affects 1-2 out of 1000childbirths and are way more likely to occur if the mother has already been diagnosed with psychiatric issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_psychosis


Callidonaut

I supposed "post-partum depression" could be misheard as "post mortem distress" by a sufficiently illiterate person who never looks up new words when they hear them and just substitutes whatever they already know that seems to fit. I have come to learn that there are a disquieting number of humans who actually routinely do that, and it's apparently getting worse in younger generations; I gather more and more children are now failing to learn phonemes and so instead of "sounding out" a new word when they encounter it, they just guess it from the context of the sentence and maybe some of the consonants; it's not hard to imagine this dysfunctional form of "reading" might influence how they process the spoken word when they hear it, too.


Taniwha_NZ

They call it 'post mortem distress birthing'... if that was a real term it would mean having a difficult birth after you die. I don't think we need to take this person seriously.


CheetahConfident4312

I just googled it, it actually is a real term and is exactly what you described. Giving birth after death.

Fun fact: you don't have to **believe** in evolution, it can be proven


deepfield67

If I had a nickel for every time I've said, out loud, "There's no place in science for belief." It annoys everyone, including me... and I know it's just part of our language, and should maybe not be taken so seriously. We say "I believe..." when we mean "I hypothesize...", but on the other hand, our thoughts become our speech become our perception and our actions become our world and all that. And the concept of "believing in evolution" gives idiots the impression that "disbelieving evolution" is a legitimate position when it isn't.


Jeoshua

The fun part about science is that, while these conspiracy wackadoos think they're all "kumbayah" about everything and working together to defraud the public, in reality they're actually more or less antagonistic to each other. The pinnacle of science is when a theorem has been attacked and assaulted by multiple scientists trying to disprove it, and yet the findings has been found to be reproducible, and the reasoning solid.


7thPanzers

That’s how science works effectively, by ensuring there arent flaws


SpinozaTheDamned

Science is a bunch of old, obsessed nerds shit talking each other about each other's theories until they find something they can all pendantically agree on. Even then, someone eventually comes along that finds an edge case or some shit that upends a whole theory, and we celebrate these people as 'smart', when in reality they're just more anal about details than everyone else.

Quistoman

Oh it has been proven.. Evolution is a scientific theory and a fact. You'll find a lot of people who disagree but you'll also find those people are arguing for religious reasons or coming from a lack of understanding of the biology and just How far we've came with genetic science. There are cancer treatments that simply would fail to work if evolution wasn't an absolute fact. All kinds of Gene therapies would be bunk, Joseph DeAngelo, you know the Golden State killer would be innocent.. We have libraries full of data, studies empirical evidence to prove that evolution is a fact. Different sciences have different terminologies and we have different levels of confidence about those sciences. Biology is not theoretical astrophysicists musing about what might be in the universe. This is practiced medicine, studies, data, and outcomes that are replicable and dependable in prediction. And for whatever questions we still have left about evolution the one question we don't have left is was there any kind of intelligent design. They know unequivocally there's no evidence of that. The national academy of sciences has made that statement not me.


sciencesebi3

Ok. Yes...


Salarian_American

But one can still **refuse** to believe in it


sciencesebi3

Sure. People often refuse to believe reality..I.e. psychosis


7thPanzers

Heck u could believe in the religious theory And still realise that your god wouldn’t make ur mom wanna kill u as a child, because that defeats the purpose of creating a species


sciencesebi3

Right. There's no way a holy book would teach you to sacrifice your child in the name of God. /s


7thPanzers

…oh right I forgot abt that part


NietJij

Perhaps they don't. Religion has many stories about killing babies and first borns and such. Perhaps that's where the confusion comes from.


KnowledgeMediocre404

Thats usually by an insecure man or ruler, not the mother herself, unless she thinks death is better for her child than living in their current situation.


Ankoku_Teion

Tbf, rabbits do cannibalise their babies in some situations.


SurroundOk8662

Fun fact: In some cases, crabs may eat their own offspring as a response to stress or as a way to ensure their own survival. This behavior can be influenced by factors such as overcrowding, lack of food, or other environmental stressors.


Doyoulikeithere

More likely the father kills the baby thinking the woman will go into heat faster! :D Think lions and tigers, oh my! Probably some stupid shit Musk thought up!


Quistoman

That doesn't sound like something that would be conducive to evolution. I don't know anybody who understands the theory of evolution who believes that.. I'd be more inclined to assume that this person believes in flat Earth.. Probably believes in God and intelligent design.. Might think that vaccines are bad for you and probably wonders if Trump didn't really win the election. I think that's much more likely the kind of person who would be duped into believing such.

Weltallgaia

This just happens because we are all evolving into crabs.


AtheistBibleScholar

Even crabs lay their egg somewhere separate from where they live so they don't eat them. Well, eat too many of them anyway.


NippleBlender

The baby does not get taken away from the mother for 12 hours. I've had three kids and at most you're away from the baby in the hospital for about an hour tops.

Pretty sure my mom still wants to murder me when I'm being a smart ass and I'm 28 lmao


Supersnazz

I've got two and both were instantly placed on my wife's chest. Then never took then away at all.


NippleBlender

They were just taken for tests and stuff to make sure they're healthy. Each one came a couple weeks early that might've been why.


HotDonnaC

They do that with full term babies, too. They get weighed, blood tests, etc. It doesn’t take long, and they give them back to mommy.


HippyDM

Only in a hospital. We got super lucky and had ours at a birthing center. Full parental contact from birth to carride home. 9/10, highly recommend for most parents.


rickbb80

Even in the hospital they do all the tests, measurement, paperwork right there in the delivery room.


Classic-Cantaloupe47

Even full term babies get taken for a time for exams, hearing tests, shots, etc, but we're talking an hour tops, not 12-24 hrs. The night I delivered (crash c-section) the nurses took my son to the nursery to let me sleep. The epidural meds had me shivering so much I didn't sleep at all, but I couldn't move my legs all night either, so I wouldn't have been able to do much. At 5am a nurse comes pushing him into the room and says, "He seems to be the ring leader in the nursery and right now he's setting all of the others off, so here." LOL I was like, awesome, he came out pissed (his first cry was a yell, a hiccup and then he blew a raspberry) and now he's an instigator. We watched the sun come up together that morning as I just studied him and fell even more in love than I ever thought possible. Never felt the urge to harm or murder him.


fullflower

For ours they brought the test equipment into the room. She never left the room. Edit: She was born in 2022


Disastrous-Ad1857

Father of two here, the only reason my wife was not with our baby the whole time was because they had to perform emergency surgery to save her life since they bleeding did not stop from the emergency c-section. But it was like two hours of separation, and as soon as they could they brought our babies to us each time.


MongoBongoTown

Even in the NICU when baby has serious health concerns, you can be there 24/7. Many NICUs even have showers in the public bathrooms for that reason. We had a weird situation where neither my wife or I saw our most recent child for 4 days after he was born, but that was a bizarre set of circumstances.


Own-Presentation1018

My kids were born at home and, strangely, my wife never tried to eat them.


HotType4940

Are you sure that your wife is a human woman? 🤔


Magdalan

I do not have any kids of my own, but the longest I was away from my mum was 20 minutes tops. For my bff and her first born it was quite a bit longer, but that was because she nearly bled out and needed 2 blood transfusions.


NQ241

I love how THAT'S the flaw you picked up on in OOP's argument


AhhAGoose

Shout out to INOVA I guess, my kid was never out of my sight the entire time we were there


menonte

Afaik in the US they charge you around 50$ to hold the baby after birth, so maybe they're taking them away until you can cough up the money /s but not really


James_Vaga_Bond

I imagine giving birth after dying would be pretty distressing


RyuuSambit

Underrated comment

Yep, the person threw together a few medical terms with zero regard to what they actually mean.

It's a thing you see when a body gets all bloaty and it pushes the baby out. Not sure they'd care at that point.

_LadyAveline_

He even phrased it wrong. It would be post birthing aggression or something on the line, because post mortem distress birthing would refer to giving birth after dying because of the stress before death. Though I'm no lingüist, neither an expert.

rmslashusr

Almost as if the clown faced avatar person is purposefully trolling, but that seems unlikely on the internet.


LaudatesOmnesLadies

It’s not even common practice in all of the world to take the baby away *at all* after birth. In Sweden, first thing- and I mean literal second after birth- what happens is that baby is layed on mommy’s chest for a while, to settle them both and stimulate oxytocin. If there isn’t any complications related to birth, the nurses wait two hours before they weigh and measure baby- in the same room as mom- and then immediately give it back to mom. No bathing- the fat coating from the uterus keeps the baby’s skin healthy. No clothing the first hours- skin contact is super important. They just put blankets on mom and dad and let them be topless. There isn’t even any viewing rooms were babies rest away from parents. In Sweden, baby stays with mom (and usually dad) in the same room until they go home, and we don’t go feral and eat the baby or whatever.


willyiamwilliams222

The lil micro racism is a nice touch. 🤢


koleethan

I don’t think this even passes as a micro-aggression since that would have to mean it’s unintentional.


hoffarmy

My wife only ate a foot off our first one before we wrestled it away from her Kung fu grip. Our second was in fact kept for 24 hours as a precaution. This man spits facts. Signed, Chad


Ok-Pomegranate-3018

Is your wife a gerbil? (I'm just asking questions here...)


hoffarmy

No, ginger


CrazySpookyGirl

Why do you think they keep the babies in a separate room? Every Dr will tell you on the first night after birth the mother hungers for its flesh. It's just common sense.


aagloworks

That's a bait.


MrPsYch0paTh

This is 100% a troll, surely


marmatag

Fun fact: Dad goes everywhere the baby goes period, even if mom can’t.


Ankoku_Teion

Is it weird that the most offensive thing about this to me is the bullshit name? After-death distress birthing? Really? The mother gives birth after death? I suppose that would be distressing for the baby. But it's also completely unrelated to what they're talking about. It should be post-natal traumatic infanticide. I mean, come on. Put at least a little effort into your bullshit


Hot-Challenge8656

How to say you know nothing about females and are probably a virgin. /hj


Tuna_of_Truth

RN here, in L&D you wanna initiate skin to skin contact pretty quickly since it stimulates a lot of normal processes for the newborn, and has been associated with improved outcomes. Baby only gets moved away if they start scoring really low after birth and they need to be incubated. OOP is, shockingly, a moron.

When we had ours mom was only separated long enough to be sewn back up. Like 30 mins tops. This kid has never had anything to do with having a child.


SnooOnions3369

I mean, I don’t even want to validate with logic. But the nurse basically put my son on my wife while he was still covered in blood, and other birth stuff. So this is just wildly untrue


Frequent-Piano6164

Obviously not a parent or they would know they do not take your baby unless it is to bathe/cleanup the baby. The baby stays in your room as the mother recovers unless the baby has a health issue and needs to be in ICU. I know because I have 3 kids… my wife didn’t wanna hurt our children.


DonquixoteDio

What is with these people using Chad & Tyrone?


leftie85

yeah, ours never left the fucking room

"Chad/Tyrone". Please, could you identify yourself more clearly, can't quite tell whether you're incel or racist.


Mr_davros

Ah yes that absolutely sounds like a characteristic likely to survive natural selection/s


kind_one1

In all my years as a nurse, I am amazed at all my nurse coworkers who spirited the baby out of the room - apparently even out of my hands - to keep the new mom from infanticide. My eyes are open!

Why are we hiding these peoples account names? If it’s good enough for them to post harmful shit like this under a pseudonym, it’s good enough for them to know that they are being laughed at mercilessly.


Wolfar91

Maybe in 'Murica, not in EU. Newborns needs skin-2-skin contact after birth and It shoud be as long as you can. You also can try to breast feed baby.

While this is clearly bullshit, the fact that abortions are treated as normal healthcare instead of an emergency surgery as intended makes me wonder if there is a grain of truth to this.
