More than "guesses", at least.

You assume they live in the U.S.... Legally speaking, several other countries are more likely. For example, Belgium.

I'm surprised at the number of places where it's legal. The pink ones make some sense though. Can't cause much problems in your offspring of you can't have offspring.
And in Sweden siblings that only share one parent can apply for a marriage, but their genetics has to be evaluated and found to be different enough as to not cause problems in their children before they can be approved.

@Carnage That reminds me; to figure out where that happened (assuming that it's really real), we'd have to cross-reference with countries where marriage can happen at 15yo.
Because 46 / 3 = 15.33 and, assuming everything is legal...

@acrow I remember overhearing a couple of women talking to each other; I'd guess it was probably about 30 years ago. One woman told the other that she'd become a grandmother at the age of 32.

I'm my family we had a few generations of women getting pregnant at 16. You don't have to be married to get pregnant. For a while we had 5 concurrently living generations of women. There is a picture of all of them somewhere as well.
Sex is legal from the age of 15, and i think that you could get married at 16 with parental consent. That has been changed because of immigrants, so now marriages where either party was below 18 is invalid.
-
@HardwareGeek 2 x 16, yeah. Teen pregnancies happen.
But in this case, the grandchild is already of marriageable age, so it's 3 x 15. And that's assuming that the bun was in the oven before the amen. Twice.

marriage
isn't covered by that wiki page ... it strictly lists countries where a sexual relation between family members is prohibited ... it is prohibited in to marry within the family until the second degree or something ...
wouldn't even be surprised if that part also dates back to the code napoleon and thus even pre-dates the existence for the state by at least two occupying nations

I was going to post something similar, but then I realized @Gąska was talking about the grandkid being married.
-
I read it again and it's even better.
So the boy knocked up his 46YO granny while already married to his sister. But before marriage there must've been some time as fiances, and also some time as boyfriend/girlfriend. But OP calls granny his ex. So at what age did he date his granny?
Challange: come up with a timeline and location where these events could happen without statutory rape at any point.

Yeah, I'm leaning heavily towards there being a lot of liberty taken with truth in the post.

@Carnage what truth?

Probably very little in there at all. I even have doubts about the existence of the husband.

It's in kind of the same bucket of ideas as reality being a simulation.

@Carnage Please don't remind me. The simulation hypothesis is a stark reminder that it takes truly smart people to talk themselves into believing really dumb shit.

I got dragged into such a discussion over the holidays. I convinced several of them that it's far more probable that reality is a running calculation or search rather than a simulation.

@Carnage I am impressed.

Not really. The simulation hypothesis focuses on telling the real and imaginary worlds apart, while solipsism is exploration of how much trust we put in our own senses and the

It's far less impressive than it seems. Most people that casually start such topics in real life are pretty far up their own assess, and want to look smarter than they are.
-
@Carnage Ah. I hang around a couple of true believers, so my experience is a bit different.

I mean, looking at the really dumb shit from ancient times until now, not really.
-
@topspin IDK, man. On closer look, it does seem to me that it was mostly the really smart people of the time that were at the forefront. Seriously, most philosophy - and especially theology - texts are something else.

Hey, I'm just as solipsistic as the next guy!
Interesting observation: the quoted word "solipsist" is flagged as an error by my spellchecker but "solipsistic" gets a free pass

@Gąska just to tie the two threads together… the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is funny and it posits that the Earth is a giant computer running a program, so complex organic life itself was part of its matrix. And that the beings who lived there had no idea and so nothing made any sense anyway.

And the program got corrupted by external interference 4995000000 years into its 5000000000 year runtime anyway.
-
@PleegWat it was worse than that :( there was an external interference 2 million years before the end of the 10 million year projected runtime, but this distorted rather than fully corrupted the output. However the processing thread was terminated just before it got to output, in a rather explosive “out of planet killer” action from the intergalactic hyperspace planet council.
-
@Arantor I've once attended a theology seminar (don't ask how it happened, I'm not sure myself) where the speaker presented a theory that God created man in His own image to explore the nature of His own being. Or something. Dunno. It was ages ago and I didn't really listen. But it does sound similar to the Hitchhiker's Guide thing.
-
@Arantor So I misremembered the numbers. Sue me.
-
@Gąska hah yes. Though H2G2 posits that God doesn’t exist because God refuses to prove that He exists before that proof denies faith and without faith He is nothing. But the argument then goes on to suggest that Babelfish are so mindbogglingly useful they could not have evolved by chance and thus are proof of God’s existence. So therefore by His argument he proved he existed and therefore denied His own existence.
There are also those who contend this is all a load of fetid dingoes’ kidneys.

It was actually just 5 minutes before:
”Earthman, the planet you lived on was commissioned, paid for, and run
by mice. It was destroyed five minutes before the completion of the purpose
for which it was built, and we’ve got to build another one.”
-
@dangeRuss And the 5th part of the trilogy goes full conspiracy theory on it, but I'm still to go thumb through my copy for a quote.
-
@dangeRuss The external influence 2 million years earlier was the Golgafrincham B-Ark, which altered the process (as the native cave-people were being wiped out). That whole thing about “an out of planet killer” terminating the process just before output is the destruction of the Earth.
-
@PleegWat yup, IIRC if there were actually an Answer to the Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, it would put therapists out of a job. And so, Gag Halfrunt (Zaphod’s private brain care specialist) bribes the council to destroy the Earth.

@topspin I was sort of trying not to just mindlessly requote the conversation. As a homage, if poorly executed, of xkcd #16.
