Reply to comment by Koshunae in TIL that most non-human primate infants actively use their hands to help themselves out of the birth canal. Human infants do not, but their grip strength is much higher during the hours immediately after they are born. by afeeney
Placentas don't really do well after about 42 weeks (a normal human pregnancy is about 40 weeks), so that would also be an issue that would need to be solved.

Oh, we most definitely will be trying other foods, because there's no way I'm going all the way to Hawaii and not eating American food (I'm American and it's been nearly a decade since I've been home, I'm homesick for American food at this point), but him being comfortable is also important. We plan to also visit some relatives in Seattle, but I know where to get food that will make him happy there.

Are there ones in Hawaii? Honestly, that's a relief to me. My husband is Japanese and wants to visit the US, mainly Hawaii, and I was worried about the culture/food shock. He really doesn't do western style food well unless it's very Japanese style western food. I wasn't going to look forward to a week with him complaining about how everything lacked 'consume flavor', or no seaweed options.

Reply to comment by ProteinStain in TIL the public library in Aarhus, Denmark has a 25-ft 3-ton bronze bell named 'The Gong' that rings every time a baby is born in the city. It is connected to the maternity ward in the local hospital, where mothers can press a button after giving birth to ring The Gong by ergotpoisoning
I had surgery at a hospital that did that. It was a fucking nightmare, I kept getting woken up all night. I was about ready to snap by the time I was allowed to leave.
