    Ich habe in den frühen 90ern in MV gelebt.
    Neonazis im Stadtbild gehörten da zum Alltag. Hitlergrüße auf dem Schulhof und anpöbeln und anspucken von farbigen Klassenkameraden war auch nicht selten.
    Der nette Nachbar war in einer Rechtsrockband und der Baseballschläger im Kofferraum seines Enkels war natürlich nur für den Baseballverein.

    Yeah, that’s exactly right.
    As for the second part, I’m not sure how to answer. Squeezing the partner is without a doubt adaptive, but squeezing anything that is roughly the same shape is a byproduct with no (strong) evolutionary pressure. Now, the question is whether functional necrophilia is adaptive or just a byproduct is very difficult to answer, but I lean towards byproduct.

    Adaptive here means whether necrophilia occurs in order to still produce offspring, i.e. it’s ‘conscious’ (I use that term veeeery loosely here) or if it occurs just because the animals don’t recognize that the partner is dead.
    I remember a paper about a frog species (not sure if it was the one from the meme) where the males participated in necrophilia, but they basically tried to squeeze eggs out of anything they grabbed. Living female, dead female, stone, sponge. All the same.

    Damn, I’m getting flasbacks from that. I had to make a presentation whether functional necrophilia in animals is adaptive during my master studies. I had to read so many papers discussing the details. Conclusion: not enough evidence to conclude it’s adaptive

    Ich kenne die Gegend, da bin ich ne zeitlang mit ÖPNV gependelt. Die Haltestelle ist sinnvoll, da dort die S-Bahnlinien die links bzw rechts des Rheins fahren sich spalten. Außerdem ist dort das Stammhaus der Telekom und es ist die nächste Haltestelle zum Maritim Hotel.
