that whole "we're the only 2 humans left, we need to repopulate the earth" cliche

yeah that cliche is really flawed, Its not super popular anymore, but Ive heard it all throughout my life, the idea that if you and one other person of the opposite gender were the only two humans alive, that you'd have to re populate the earth, which would likely almost never happen lol

but the the thing is, what people never think about is this: HOW WILL YOUR CHILDREN CONTINUE TO REPOPULATE...
"hey jimmy, this is your new sister , lilly, your gonna have to bang her when your older to keep the human race alive"

assuming you dont end up giving birth to like 7 of one gender. hell, even if there was one other couple, and they had 2 kids, you had 2 kids, that just happened to be 2 boys and 2 girls, even then "heres your cousins, do the sex"

when you think about it, somewhere down the line, any really small closed off community would always end up with incest....dang, and this was just supposed to be a random thought experiment....

I believe the minimum you need is 80 males and 80 females to keep a viable gene pool.

@HeWhoLaughs It's something NASA has been calculating for potentially colonizing new planets.

@HeWhoLaughs It's certainly going to need a huge technological leap forwards before we can even consider it
