Mom love

genetics are so crazy to me because this is normal but like it's ALSO possible for only recessed genes coming out and the child looks nothing like the parent which is also cool AF
bit sad I didn't get my dad's 'grey hair at 14' genetics. I woulda made sooo many "respect your elders!!" jokes 🥲

This is some Back to the Future shit. Are you an x-man, because this is uncanny.
- I'm kinda mad she didn't attempt the same facial expression for maxness
  
  I would have gone for same dress same expression same everything with her standing next to me

It would be interesting to see a picture of daddy too. I wonder what traits she got from him.

My ex looked a lot like her mom. Which was awesome when I was younger, because my ex didn't smoke, and it was pretty awesome to think she would be hot forever.
Well turns out that is true, but being hot is a terrible thing to base the quality of a relationship on.
- My dad gave me the advice that your wife will likely look like her mother. My ex now, at 30 years looked exactly like her mom and I’m glad for reason 1001 to be divorced from her. No1 was: she’s a nasty, self centered twat who did nothing for us unless it benefited herself.
- almost did this myself. dad sat me down and said, "Son, she's not right for you. go find yourself a nice cripple girl. she'll never walk all over you."
  
  😂🤣 I hear Hell is nice this time of year.
  
  This wheelchair's made for ridin'
  And that's just what it'll do
  One of these days the wheelchair's
  gonna ride all over you
  
  Man, your dad gave better advice than everyone I knew.
  Everyone was like "no, peoplebeproblems, if you marry her, you marry all the crazy, what does your gut say?"and I was all like "I have IBS! It's unreliable!"
- But its true she was hot forever?
  
  Maybe not forever, but she still is.
  
  Crematorium: yes
  
  Pics or it didn't happen
- Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better for you.
- a lot of hot people smoke… it’s a terrible habit but it doesn’t make you ugly
  
  it’s a terrible habit but it doesn’t make you ugly
  No, but it ages you quickly.
  
  I find anyone who smokes instantly ugly, zero chance I would want to be with them sexually after that point, so yes it does. Also ages you like all hell

We should edit the picture, so it looks like she is zipping up her moms dress.
- Obama_medal.csv
- Or unzipping...
  
  happy cake day... though back to horny jail you go
  
  [bonk] Off to horny jail!
  
  Have you lost your mind??
- Yeah, that was a real missed opportunity by whoever took the original photo!
- Or giving her a medal.

I thought it was the same person.
- Oh, Sugi didn't make that up? Interesting...

I expected to find different content, thanks to my sleepy brain. Glad it was this

My mom and I are practically clones and I hate it. People compare me to her constantly and I wish I could be acknowledged as being my own person.
- Does your mama whine and bitch about shit that doesn't really matter as well?
  
  Sure does. At least she isn't a dick to people online for no reason like you. I sure hope your mama isn't like that either.
- You sound just like your mother.
  
  Haha, got'em.
  
  I think my eyes would explode if I tried rolling my eyes any harder lol
  
  Madlad
- I used to recommend people shave their heads to show how different they are, but I'm told that this isn't healthy behavior.
  So maybe shave your mom's head?
  
  It's not healthy, it makes your head cold all the time. Having hair is healthier.
  
  I shaved my head and now as a 6ft bearded bald man i no longer look like my mother Thanks for the advice man
  
  That's the only correct answer
- For what it's worth, I hereby acknowledge you are your own person.
  
  Lol ty.
- I wish I could be acknowledged as being my own person.
  Just like your mom does!
- Plot twist : he is a boy

I was worried we started our own oldschoolcool, the “wank to my ancestors” community, for a second, but they do look nearly identical. Lot of dominant genes in her mom.
- My main memory of oldschoolcool was that one time the F1 community posted a picture of Romain Grosjean from the late '00s and convinced the subreddit that it was Jean-Pierre Jabouille; a different F1 driver from the '70s. That was fun.

  I love this, as a 50 year old I immediately recognize the Renault logo as post 80's (1992 from a quick search), and ING bank was formed in 1991, before that is was Postbank.

The sperm must've been like "hey egg, you take all the physical traits and I'll take the mental."
- Or she's a clone.

Whoa...that resemblance is crazy.

Wow! It's incredible how identical you two look.
- Thanks! It took a lot of effort to get the hair just right.
  
  @orenj@lemmy.sdf.org you are saying you’re OOP?

I look pretry much just like my dad when he was around 20. Looking at younger us not similar at all. But around 18 to 20 we look pretty much identical except the hair.
- Pictures of me as a kid I look a lot like my Mum, you would have clocked us as siblings if given pictures of us at the same age without context.
  Then testosterone kicked in.

no way these two are not the same person

Oh no, this is another one of those "are these dresses really the same" things.
Seriously though, that's cute.

I really like this!

Does that mean the dad/husband looks like he could be their brother? Or is that not how these genetics work?
- Some women essentially clone themselves or the dad.
  I have a cousin, she had 5 kids, all with different dads, yet the 3 girls look exactly like the mom and the boys exactly like the dads.
  And that cousin looks like her mom who looks like my grandma. But only that specific daughter of my grandma has the cloning abilities (my grandma had I think 11 kids).
  
  Interesting. The meme is to do half and half when depicting offspring in media. I didn’t know.
- Yeah, genetics is more complicated than that. Recessive genes/traits means that while half of genetic material (discounting that X an Y chromosomes are different sizes) comes from each parent, their kid's appearance is not just having all traits be midway between their parents' appearances. And there's more complications than recessive genes like epiginetics, environmental factors, multi-gene traits, etc.

Wholesome cloning

Best evidence of human cloning
