If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It might be different when they can use it for eugenics and genocide though.

What does the Engr mean?

And most public bins and all smoking areas have ashtrays and dedicated cigarette bins so it wouldn’t be hard to dispose of them properly like any other piece of rubbish and even then there’s often cigarette butts within sight of the bins and ashtrays.

Most of my family are smokers, and I can tell you that smokers are often just annoying and selfish when it comes to their smoking.

My dad and stepmom insist on smoking at the fireplace because 'the smoke goes to the chimney' (hint: it doesn't) despite the fact that a 9 year old lives here, and I remember when my brother dropped his cigarette on the ground in a forest (he put it out first) and when I noted that he shouldn't do that because animals will eat the cigarette butts he drops, since there was a nest with baby birds nearby, his defense was that the birds in the city eat cigarettes and get addicted to them, this was somehow fine or something. I still fail to see the logic there, if he had any.

For the most part, where I live doesn’t have that much of other kinds of litter about and is generally clean. And most public bins and all smoking areas have ashtrays and dedicated cigarette bins so it wouldn’t be hard to dispose of them properly like any other piece of rubbish and even then there’s often cigarette butts within sight of the bins and ashtrays.

If you can't walk a little to dispose of cigarette butts, don't smoke them.

Of course it's the US.

Hormones don't affect personality, but a whole lot of other things, such as voice, body hair, facial features etc. Also apparently in some bird species, the males have cloacas that are come a little outside the body, like a bump, so I think that HRT might possibly affect your cloaca.

Transitioning would be sooo much easier. No surgery, only hormones. Though if we were still mammals despite laying eggs, you might still need top surgery.

Maybe after laying an egg, your pubes and ass hair would start growing at a turbo speed to make sure it hatches well.

Would this mean that instead of periods, you just lay an unfertilised egg once a month? Do you have to constantly be hathing the egg? Are the eggs hard like bird eggs or soft like reptilian eggs?

If the egg required constantly being there, I think that in our current society, that'd become the mother's task. Some couples would take turns hatching it, like dad is with the egg until noon when he goes to work and the mom takes over. Conservatives would be losing their minds over fathers who hatch eggs because it's 'women's work'.

Rich people would first start hiring people to hatch their eggs for them, and probably soon move on to hatching machines. Later automated hatchers would become more and more common until only the very poor would hatch their eggs manually. Chances are that hatching your eggs by yourself would become a tradwife thing soon.

There would probably be a huge debate over whether or not it is okay to eat human eggs. Eating the eggshells after the baby has hatched might become a thing, similar to how some people eat their placentas after giving birth.

Abortion would become much easier and safer to do and really hard to restrict: just smash the egg and dispose of the evidence. In poor areas, there would probably be a lot of abandoned eggs; on a rainy night I hear the doorbell ringing. When I open the door, before me is an egg, gently wrapped in a floral blanket. I manage to catch a quick glimpse of a young woman's silhouette running away before she disappears behind the corner
