Why do things reproduce?

[LatinasAreTheFuture]

Everything alive reproduces. Why?

 

[Sawrunner]

to be an infantryman in lifes war against death

 

[Akashic Retard]

There are tons of things that were alive that didnt reproduce. They aren't around anymore.

I'm not sure exactly why sexual reproduction evolved, but I do know that it helped speed up evolution, and made it much easier for living things to spread themselves over a bigger area.

Before sexual reproduction came to be, things changed and mutated far slower. So it likely has something to do with that.

What?

cellular life reproduces at a much faster rate, and the genes are far less complex so it'll mutate faster (1 mutation would have a greater effect on an organism with 100 genes (1% change) than one with 1 million (0.0001% change). A much more complex organism can withstand more negative mutations than a smaller one (you can remove more from a human than you can from cellular life before they die)

Not sure about the greater area thing, I think evolving legs was a much bigger factor there.

If things didn't reproduce they wouldn't persist. Asexuality is a null strategy.

I heard if you wank on a carpet, it speeds up the evolutionary process.

Immortality doesn't exist yet. So we still have to make crotch goblins to carry on the research.

I would like to point out that sex is not reproduction.

 

[Tookie]

To continually facilitate mutations that enable successive generations to more efficiently reduce entropy in the universe.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Ask your mother.

 

[OrionBalls]

To get better paying jobs than you, right out of High School, and then fuck that girl you always had a crush on, but were too nervous to speak to.

 

[OrionBalls]

Pandas don't reproduce.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

Uhhhh because like, evolution and natural selection and stuff.
