Although to be fair, they probably did it a service considering the guy may have been in pain

It was more part of a test/lesson than any actual plan to follow through with what he said he was going to do.
Two women living in the same home claim to be a baby’s mother, Solomon calls for a sword and says they’ll each get half then. One pleads for him to just give the baby to the other woman and spare the child then, and so he declares her its mother due to this act.
Whether or not we can expect anything like that from fluffies that doesn’t devolve into something stupid, petty, or both is up to a series of coin flips that most probably wouldn’t want to take the chance on.

Thank you, I’m sick of people saying Solomon was dumb for this, when it’s actually pretty wise and they didn’t go through with splitting the baby. Even if the woman who says “chop that baby in half, if I can’t have him, no one can!” actually did give birth to him, he’s clearly better off with the other one, anyway.

Don’t feel so bad Solomon, that foal would probably die anyway due to it’s birth.

The only thing that bothers me about that story is what would’ve happened if neither woman had been a crazy “if I can’t have it, no one can” bitch. The idea wouldn’t have worked so well in that case, I think.

One has to assume that a dude wise enough to be a famous judge (which really meant something in the Old Testament) would have used a different strategy, then. To be fair, though, if you have two women claiming to be the same baby’s mother in a world before hospital births with big maternity wards where switches are easier, someone is a narcissistic nuclear-grade bitch and/or in the grip of post-partum psychosis.

If I remember the story correctly, didn’t the baby stealing mother accidentally smother her own child first so she decided to steal the other woman’s?

I feel like I’ve definitely heard that version, but there’s like, four versions of all these stories:
- the one people always told
- the one in the Torah
- the one in the Bible
- the one some guy made up because he hated women (i.e., Vashti having a tail)

On a second look, yes, that is the case. Might have accidentally rewritten some parts of the comment enough that I forgot that part.

Maybe, some seem to go with the interpretation that if both plead for the child’s life he would have had them come to some sort of compromise, and that if both had abided by his ruling then clearly neither of them should have the child and they would have been handed off to another family.

Yeah, something like that.
Apparently the whole story is really about Solomon and the kingdom of Israel and he was actually being the bad mom at the time, but like most satire, it has been lost to time for most audiences now, and only story remains.

OK, I get it’s a joke, but I think the most likely thing she’d do is just stomp on the brown half, and assume the purple half would be fine, not realizing it would just die alongside the other (or, worse, survive long enough to die painfully when the dead half starts to rot.

The only unrealistic part was that a fluffy managed to perfectly clean cut something into equal halves.
