X cousin, Y removed
Seems like there's a certain point where you should just throw up your hands and assume that you're related, no matter who you have sex with =/

Well, you are. If it's a life form that originated on Earth, it's a relative.
That's the entire concept behind the six degrees of seperation.
^^ Yeah, but I mean in terms of cousin related. I mean, come on, it goes up to fifth cousin on this infographic alone. Isn't there any kind of limit to how far removed somebody has to be before you can say, "Not my cousin"?
Nope. No technical limit, at least.
Yes. They have to not be part of the same evolutionary tree.
Sure, why not.
It always creeped me the fuck out whenever I thought about the idea that every human on Earth is ultimately descended from the same ancient couple. Even after learning about it in school, I took bloody ages to realise that evolution means we never actually needed a first man and a first woman...
And everyone is related to /that/ first something.
I think.
Yes. That is correct.
We are all fragments of a dream conceived by the first star, the only true intelligence of the universe. Your choices, thoughts and instincts are nothing but the process of its neural decay until our cosmos comes to a reckoning with itself and ends all things under the weight of its perfect judgement.

IJBM: The terminology "X cousin, Y removed".
It's confusing. I have to think diagonally (looking at this chart) and trace how many generations back the familial relation was and then trace forward again how many generations it's been since then.
Why can't I just say stuff like "cousin uncle" or "cousin cousin"? In fact, that's what Chinese does. The "cousin" prefix gets put onto the term "uncle", so you get basically get "cousin uncle" (roughly "biu cuhl fu" in Cantonese).
Because:
Cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin cousin.
That's why.
Yes, but chances are the first something was some microscopic organism that reproduced asexually, and therefore it technically wasn't capable of inbreeding whatsoever.
Or is only technically capable of inbreeding.
We are all the retarded selfcest spawn of single-celled organisms.
I don't think that's the point, though. The point is that we are all descended from the same thing, and as such, everything you kill is related to you through a very convoluted family tree.
So, basically, even vegetarians are killing and eating their own relatives.
MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!
^ ...Maybe that's why some people refuse to accept evolution?
Does a pro-life vegetarian eat eggs?
