Well I can't say for certain (can anyone?), but my guess would be nature.
Basically homosexuals can't reproduce so they die out. But if everyone was a little bit gay, you'd still have a few people who would turn out mostly gay instead of mostly straight due to some mix of parents, mutations and upbringing. Maybe you could have someone expected to reproduce, say a king, who's actually bisexual and has more kids who are bisexual or gay (and perhaps even raises them so).
I highly doubt it's spontaneous in even the slightest amount.
I'm playing eu4 and noticed there's a province named "Dendi" in eastern Songhai. Is there any relation between that province name and the gamer named Dendi?

Yeah as soon as you become homosexual your genitals are ripped off. It's totally impossible for gay people to reproduce, especially given our level of technology today. wut

Calm down bro. Especially without our level of technology today, if everybody was exclusively homosexual we wouldn't be able to reproduce and humans would die out. The parts aren't there.... t.t
There is absolutely no reason to suppose that gay men and gay women would not come together and reproduce without the traditional coupling of heterosexual unions.
I can get a girl pregnant if I really wanted to, I assure you. Through artificial insemination or a few shots of vodka. The supposition that gay people are essentially sterile is flat out wrong dude.

In science, buoyancy /ˈbɔɪ.ənsi/ is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus a column of fluid, or an object submerged in the fluid, experiences greater pressure at the bottom of the column than at the top. This difference in pressure results in a net force that tends to accelerate an object upwards. The magnitude of that force is proportional to the difference in the pressure between the top and the bottom of the column, and (as explained by Archimedes' principle) is also equivalent to the weight of the fluid that would otherwise occupy the column, i.e. the displaced fluid. For this reason, an object whose density is greater than that of the fluid in which it is submerged tends to sink. If the object is either less dense than the liquid or is shaped appropriately (as in a boat), the force can keep the object afloat. This can occur only in a reference frame which either has a gravitational field or is accelerating due to a force other than gravity defining a "downward" direction (that is, a non-inertial reference frame). In a situation of fluid statics, the net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body

More bs. Humans aren't slaves to their "instincts". If one wants a child in our modern society there are plenty of options, period. You haven't made a bit of sense.

I recommend that if posts are not making sense to you that you re-read them rather than being derogatory. He speaks in the case of a more primitive society, as the question doesn't refer only to 'our modern society'. Hence his reference to a King in one of his posts.
Here is a nice post to showcase this perfectly. Please re-read at least the bolded and italicized section if nothing else.

Also, as a new member to the community, a good re-reading of the TL.net Ten Commandments should do you well.

I think that Sentinel's referring to the early stages of development of the Human species. When we essentially were animals, and thus closer to "slaves to our instincts", our instincts would necessarily drive us to mate with the opposite sex. We wouldn't have surrogate mothers, artificial insemination, etc.
Why do punk ass kids throw around the word "Jew" as short hand for "cheap" these days? I've started noticing it recently, mostly younger kids, born in the 90s or later but its so fucking jarring.

Why do people make such a big deal when someone or a group of people die? Spoiler alert: we are all going to die in some way shape or form so people should stop acting so shocked when it happens.

Is there something more important that people should reserve their shock for? Spoiler alert: not much trumps matters of life and death.

I do not know the answer to this, but i don't think it is something that is new in "these days".
It came about in the middle ages when the church forbade Christians from charging interest on loans and less stupid people followed less stupid rules. Shakespeare and Dickens made reinforcing references to it so its not a new thing, but its stupid so don't do it.

Its new to me because when I was a kid I never heard it. So it seems like its 'new' for this generation of punk ass kids.
