I think we can’t really count the 40 million as his kills, unless we count all the descendants of the other mongols who raped their way across the continent, and I think that would tip the scales towards fuck winning.
I go back-and-forth with that data point. Because while that is measurable and does exist, there’s also tons of data to the contrary.
Here:
researchers argue that the “Genghis-Khan-caused global cooling” idea is overstated: the modeled CO₂ drop from Mongol-era depopulation is extremely small (far below what’s visible in ice cores), natural forces like volcanic eruptions and solar variability overwhelmingly dominate climate shifts of that period, population-loss estimates are highly uncertain, any localized reforestation would have been offset by land-use changes elsewhere, and no clear cooling signal appears in proxy climate records at the exact time of the Mongol conquests.
Kill, I think.
Fuck: He has about 18 million living descendants today.
Kill: about 30 to 40 million.

That conjures mental images of a very interesting scale 😄
Id review that hell out of that data. Fascinating to learn if they created or ended more life…as a team.
Point of order though: is one sexy time counted as one fuck, or is all the sex, as long as it’s the same partner, counted as one fuck?
Excellent question, perhaps we should separate sex and childbirth from sex.
Well there’s a study saying that the Mongol pillaging led to a small but measurable drop in global temperature so I’m going with kill.
