  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Dude, babies crawl, and some even walk. Even "infant" = up to 1 year. (Walking starts usually 9-18 months; some pull up and go even earlier. But even not walking, crawlers are highly mobile, and highly exploratory.). If your baby isn't moving at a year, see a ped, stat.
How many infants have come up to you recently?

I wasn't going to bother to say it the other day, but since you've doubled down and thrown in a "literally," I had to.

I'll also add that babies are also often social, so if there are 2 of them in a space let to roam, they will often get to know each other...and that can include picking up a dropped pacifier and trying it out before anyone can swipe it.
Conclusion: Total Crotch Goblin Death

Recently? None. When my kids were babies and therefore I was around other babies, too many to count.

My point was that babies can move. Secondary point is that one baby can surely transmit a cold or whatever to another one it is interacting with.
 
Very carefully

No it's not. The point is they can get you sick just as any human can and that @SSj_Ness's idea that babies are uniquely the only humans who can't spread diseases is untrue.
K thanx nigga.

They can cough, sneeze, shit and have saliva. That's all that's needed. How do you think germs spread?
Where do germs come from? By spontaneously developing in babies who walk up to you and projectile sneeze into your gaping maw?

Cool. I never said babies were entirely immobile in the technical sense.

In your scenario apparently people are letting sick strangers around their babies and then those now-sick babies are coming up to you and getting you sick. Maybe that's your "lived experience", I have never gotten sick from a baby.

I'd like you to quote me saying babies "can't spread disease", thanks.

Friend, lol:
they can't MOVE in order to go catch it; they don't interact with people, people interact with them.
Babies don't get close to anyone but family, they literally cannot approach someone to even get them ill.

What? My "scenario" is babies catch stuff (from mom, dad, sis, bro, person who walked by in a store, other baby, whatever) and can likewise transmit it to others.

YOU asked how many babies have "come up to me" recently (and apparently based on the above, you meant that as also getting me sick). That was your scenario, not mine.

I said babies are mobile, which you'd said was not the case. I also said babies can move toward other babies, and they like to interact. And they will play with a slobbered-on toy. And get in each other's faces. And wrap their little arms around a friend. And go from sitting up to crashed out on any blanket in reach. All while dribbling snot or being feverish (or sucking on the toy/clinging to the blanket of a sick friend). They don't know any better. It's quite beautiful.

It is absolutely true that kids spread things to other kids. That's why babies/ children with fevers aren't supposed to go to group activities. That's why kids in a group will tend to all get sick from the same thing.

I mean, this is a weird exchange.

Stop crying, big baby.

Did I dispute that babies can catch stuff?

Technically they are, however that wasn't what I meant and you damn well know it.

With random babies? Maybe if you're irresponsible.

Now you're thinking.

Lol, I didn't, akshually, because you emphasized the impossibility, saying that babies "can't MOVE in order to go catch it" and then that they "literally can't approach" someone else. As I said, I didn't chime in until you doubled down with the same statement and emphasized the point that babies CANNOT move.

As for "literally," when you bold and underline it and attach it to the crux of your repeated point that people have already disputed as factually incorrect, reasonable inference is that you mean it literally. As in, factually, actually, technically, true.

Otherwise, you would have said, "oh, yes, when I said babies "can't MOVE," I meant they can't move far/ I assume they are not permitted to leave the house when they have a bug/ it's not their fault because adults and bigger kids are always getting too close to babies in restraints" - or whatever. You didn't say those things; you said it is literally true that babies cannot approach anyone.

You know this^. I know you know it because most of everything you write is written well enough and clearly enough, & without the mindbending illogic of the above.

With random babies? Maybe if you're irresponsible.
With playmates, goof. It's called socialization. Go have a baby then tell me about it.

Also, side note: babies, like other humans, are sometimes contagious before they have signs of having something. So the scenario is also not, "irresponsible parents willfully forcing their sick child on others/letting strange babies from the bad side of town lick their faces." Just in case that was a thought.


But now we know you agree babies move and can approach others! How is it, then, that they literally cannot transmit some communicable bug they have (or they can but only when larger mobile people move to the baby?)? :lit:

Yes, babies can spread germs and they can move. As much as birds? Who knows. Shorter radius, closer proximity. And I'm literally joking. :)
