Reply to comment by [deleted] in There is no feeling more bittersweet for an athlete than to be cut by a team that immediately goes on to win a championship by Looney_forner

It would depend on the athlete for sure. A team player who values their teammates would definitely feel this as bittersweet, since they want the win for the team and not just themselves.

Looking at a lot of other comments it seems this concept is foreign to a lot of redditors (cheering for the success of others, even at your own expense)

I was thinking parents are one generation back, grandparents are two generations back, then beyond that most people know very little. If you interpret it differently, then just read my title as 4 generations back instead of 3.

What point exactly are you trying to make? Because you are trying to find a problem in everything I say. Do you think that means you win or something? I've circled all the way around because I literally have nowhere else to go because you can't wrap your head around a simple concept so I haved to keep trying to walk you through it. Fuck you're stupid

Well let’s see, if we consider a generation in terms of family, like my generation, my parents, grandparents etc, that means we have typically 3 generations per century. My sister and I born in the 1990s, my parents 60s & 70s, grandparents 40s, great grandparents 20s, etc. That there is 3 generations already remembered, and assuming you take interest in your family history, then it goes further back and from there branches off to people outside one’s family.

Yes. And a cloaca is an anus that has taken on additional functionality in some groups. In fact, in mammals the original mammalian ancestor likely had a cloaca, which split into separate openings (in some derived groups). But embryologically it all starts with the anus.
