Do you think it's the same way with viruses entering body cells?
Nah, I assume it's more like some unconscious dude shows up at your house with a weirdly sharp penis, he impregnates the house, and then the house explodes and a bunch of little dudes spill out.
One dildo through the window IN, thousands of dildos through the walls OUT. Got it.
I shudder to write this, but it's more like a self-replicating knife dildo. Or a sawzall.
Not self-replicating. It's like a knife dildo that remodels your body into a knife dildo factory.
so like 3d printers, you get one and before you know it all you're doing is using the 3d printer to build more 3d printers
i guess that viruses might be evolutionarily very old, dating back to the RNA-world-episode, seeing how primitive they are.
maybe they could have a use (exchanging DNA segments between individuals) but that is pure speculation on my part.
