If we didn’t have swans and found their fossils and used the same techniques, they’d look like this.

Take your child to work day? Shouldn’t be doing that if you work in an industrial lab tho.

Maybe the storage room of a college chem class or smth?

I’m sure you were very good, but I doubt that you had that good a name memory as a five-year old.

I taught myself how to read as well, so I ain’t the dullest of pens either but somehow I just doubt you could’ve rattled off that many correct names and titles as a five-year old. Although, it might just be projection from my almost 40-year old weed-smoking soon-to-be-some-serious-memory-problem having ass. If so, apologies.

Russia is free again

I really wish that will happen as well, but when has Russia actually been free?

Literally everything in Africa has evolved to run away from humans, because when animals hear human speech and don’t run away they get eaten or domesticated.

When you look at a map of domesticated animals origins, not a single one comes from Africa. All the animals there know what humans are like no matter how we try fooling them.

Oh yah here’s the video sourcing that shit I just listened to today https://youtu.be/EqGxxWvDXsM

Ishmael aims to expose that several widely accepted assumptions of modern society, such as human supremacy,

Click link, go to “anthropocentrism”.

Bro I can believe people are smarter than other animals and still not believe we’re the best or most valuable or worthiest or anything like that.

I know dogs are not as smart as me, but they’re sure as fuck better people than me.

Bro had never seen naked apes.

Very ethnocentric of you. I first heard it from Stephen Fry, so no, not literally zero people.

Also, it’s literally the first definition there. That’s the definition of the species in hemiptera. Just because you don’t know anyone who knows orders of animals in latin doesn’t mean we don’t exist.

I for one always enjoyed reading taxonomy, especially because sometimes translating a species can be quite weird if you don’t know the translation and have to essentially hope that the yellow-breasted warbler is the thing they also described it as in the other language. Sometimes it’s another feature.

But I’m sure you’d know roughly what I mean if I refer to the order of primates. Possibly the infraorder cetacean as well. Especially if you’ve watched Star Trek religiously.

Stephen Fry on Insects, and the beauty of nature and Evolution

That’s the wrong clip but i can’t be arsed to find it

Yeah that’s because that sounds funny. You should change it to something like “look, a bug. And I say that as this is a member of the order ‘hemiptera’, also known as ‘true bugs.’”

Or perhaps it’s just your face? People listen to me quite easily.

He’s gonna have a bitch of a time a few decades later passing kidneystones.

Well no but yes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera

Hemiptera (/hɛˈmɪptərə/; from Ancient Greek hemipterus ‘half-winged’) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising more than 80,000 species within groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, assassin bugs, bed bugs, and shield bugs. They range in size from 1 mm (0.04 in) to around 15 cm (6 in), and share a common arrangement of piercing-sucking mouthparts.[3] The name “true bugs” is sometimes limited to the suborder Heteroptera.[4]

But wasps can sting and they’re not bugs. They can also bite. So the key part is piercing with their mouth. For true bugs (as in the biological sense)

Ignorance is bliss (oh no wait the other one riiiight that makes more sense)

The Greek alphabet, which is the earliest known script to systematically include both consonants and vowels, is generally believed to have added vowels when it was adapted from the Phoenician script during the late 9th or early 8th century BCE.

Sorry, that paragraph is AI written but I was asking about something I know and too lazy to rewrite it myself.

The Phoenician alphabet which influenced the greek script had 22 letters afaik. Still doesn’t match the sides but it’s closer

A citron is a specific fruit that looks really funky

I don’t see how those look funky. Could I get a comparison? If you were at mine and told me to fetch a lemon from the store, that’s what I’d bring.

Edit okay maybe that’s actually knobblier than the ones in the shop. In Finnish that would be “sukaattisitruuna”

Trippy pic bro

Young, dumb, and not-orbiting a sun… ;)

I mean, they lay round cells, but because they layer them tightly, they get squeezed in, and form a hexagonal pattern. Possibly drying also affects it idk much about bee-engineering, apologies.

I don’t think it’s completely unrelated though. I don’t claim to understand what’s actually going but seems to me that whatever winds are whipping about there could create fronts that are sort of similar as pressure as what happens with honeycombs. In one it’s just the cells themselves create the pressure whereas here it’s the giant planetwide storms.

Idk.
