Or they have a massive fight over who gets to have B2 Dave

I doubt kl would give something like that up

True, true.

The question is A) Do we get to watch and B) Has B2 Dave cornered the market on tickets to the show.

[recalcitrantIre]

True, true. The question is A) Do we get to watch and B) Has B2 Dave cornered the market on tickets to the show.

B) Yes

A) Hell yes

[Karp]

True, true.

The question is A) Do we get to watch and B) Has B2 Dave cornered the market on tickets to the show.

Probably. The tickets are reasonably priced at ¥1;63.z but you may just get Geormy paperweights instead.

[PumpkinMan]

True, true.

The question is A) Do we get to watch and B) Has B2 Dave cornered the market on tickets to the show.

The tickets have been sold out for years. Dave has the economy on lockdown. Every Dave does.

[P_equals_NP]

Dave clearly has all of his hair in the last potato, though. Dirk is the one who goes bald.

I'm aware, but I'm hoping it's hereditary.

Because I'm mean.

[Karp]

I'm aware, but I'm hoping it's hereditary.

Because I'm mean.

It's actually impossible to receive male pattern baldness from your father if you're a boy, since it's an X-linked trait.

You shouldn't let that stop you from dreaming, though, I guess.

baldness skips a generation

[P_equals_NP]

I'm going to cite that one thing that one person talked about on how ectobiology would mix gene chromosomes differently.

And then not actually understand how science and continue on with balding.

Alternatively - Roxy has it too. What thef.

[phantasmalDexterity]

I'm aware, but I'm hoping it's hereditary.
Because I'm mean.

But because their ectobiology was bugged, Rose is the one who inherited it. However unlogical that is.

Bald Rose.

Uh oh. That's not good, considering my uncle on my mom's side is going bald.

Now we wait.

Even if it did mix chromosomes, Dave would still have had to receive Dirk's Y chromosome to be a male, unless Dave actually isn't a boy and we've all been duped this whole time.

If Roxy did have it as well, though, Dave could certainly inherit it from her.

[Ace of Dark-Hearts]

Jane is clearly the one with male pattern baldness. Just look at her hair.

There is this thing called not everyone having chromosomes matching their gender. Not even going into the differences between gender and sex, the relation between chromosomes and physical sex is not as 1=1 as people seem to think it is. Female-bodied people with XY genes and male-bodied people with XX genes are not all that uncommon. Most never find out because, well, most people never have reason to try and map their genome.

I have no idea why we are discussing baldness.

What did I just read here.

(Awesome is what, don't answer my question.)
(The question I made with a period.)

[Fish]

e: Why are so many people using so many different terms to refer to characters that could easily be described as "B2 Dave" and "B2 Rose"?

For the same reason we call B1 Grampa "HASS?"

Everyone has their pet names and it's nice to not have to use numbers.

what suggests that he's bald?

DNA.

It's actually impossible to receive male pattern baldness from your father if you're a boy, since it's an X-linked trait.
You shouldn't let that stop you from dreaming, though, I guess.

But Dave is DirkJakecanon.jpg.

(John got a bit confused and maybe drunk when he was doing the echobiolothingy.)

PD that is the best thing.

(Really though it would be way better for Dave to go bald than Bro. Dave is currently wearing a wig.)

[phantasmalDexterity]

Clearly baldness is the most important thing in Homestuck.

aND AFTER THE BREAK WE'RE BACK WITH THE SECOND PART:

The extraordinary woman enters and notices the small child in the room right away. She asks the good Colonel 'why the halibut is this young hatchlin in their home.' The remarkable Colonel answers that he found this wee lass near the late bakery. The wife mourns her bakery. But she also would like to know where this kid's lusus, and why had the Colonel brought the girl home. The remarkable Colonel didn' understand the word 'lusus'. His wife explains it to him. And also mentions the proper plural.

*after some explanation*

Now that the good Betty Crocker finally finished, the marvelous Colonel finally understand everything. Now it's his turn. The Colonel tries to give the necessary information to her wife. He tells her about family and kids. The Baroness asks that 'if there aint no broodin cave or mother grubs where do they clam.' The Colonel answers that they are made during, uhmm sexual intercourse. She does not get it.

What is the point of this post?

Like, do you think you are going to convince me of something with this unflattering description of our exchange? What do you expect me to say? "Oh, whoops, I forgot to account for the fact that I was being an idiot, thanks for reminding me"?

[Karp]

There is this thing called not everyone having chromosomes matching their gender.

The condition you're thinking about is a type of polysomy where an individual has inherited more than two versions of each chromosomes (in this instance, the X and Y chromosomes are considered part of the same pair); even in this scenario, however, the only way you could be male is by having a Y chromosome somewhere in your genotype, otherwise you're default female. You might display characteristics which are more feminine than most if you have multiple X copies in addition to your Y, but you're still male for all intents and purposes.

What I'm trying to say is that everyone in Homestuck has been wearing a toupee this whole time.

EDIT: That being said, damage or translocation to one of the genes on the Y chromosome can lead to some weird stuff.

[Doom Zero]

The only way to be male is to have a Y chromosome. You can only inherit a Y chromosome from your father. Ergo, you cannot inherit male pattern baldness from your father if you are a boy.

Not really, bro.
The Y-Chromosome is dominant, just like brown hair. If you have it, you express it. Having more than one X Chromosome won't affect your sex, if you have a Y. Okay, no, that was a lie. It might affect your sex, but it's more likely to introduce some other sort of physical or mental difference. Which disorder is the one that causes hyper-aggression? I think it's XXY... Might be XYY, though. Anyway, point is that genetically, the Y chromosome is basically going to overwrite any of the X Chromosome functions that control sex, so having more than one X probably won't make a difference when it comes to sex.
That's a "probably".
I'm not entirely well-read on this subject, I'm just going from a basic genetic understanding.

Aaaand I have to leave, now, so yeah. Back in about 4 hours, guys.

I didn't say it did. You haven't disagreed with anything I said, though it seems as though you think you did? That's kind of weird. (I've taken genetics and biochemistry, so I'm pretty well versed in this stuff. I have to make up for my other shortcomings somehow.)

we can talk about how his puppet body has a time traveling demon incubating inside of him. His stuffing will turn to flesh and blood, he will grow 10+ feet, his spaghetti limbs will become ripped and green and his puppet face will be peeled away to reveal a green puppet skull with cycling poolball eyes in his eye sockets.

Just picture this.

It's XYY. Gives you too much testosterone, makes you a hulking bastard. Unpleasant.
