Nothing is funnier to me than ppl with rly wild jobs still just being people and having long tired mornings like everyone else. Just heard a doctor in the lab say “I have to go do some cloning” with the same level of enthusiasm I use to say I’m gonna do the dishes.
That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. Iād thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They canāt even interbreed. They donāt have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.
These
are more genetically compatible than These
and thatās why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues
The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the āstandardā animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms ālook likeā theyāre related. When in fact theyāre a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. Itās why people always sayĀ ābreedā when they mean āspeciesā, especially when talking about groups like lizards which canāt even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.
I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of moreĀ āmodernā fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. Theyāve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate.Ā
This
And this
Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish
Which is absolutely fuckin wild.
Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three āfishā are to one another as well.
these
are genetically closer than these
andā¦
these
are genetically closer than these
and my personal favorite, it really fucks with peopleā¦
Having no sources of intimacy in your daily life and therefore resorting to learning as much as you can as a way to pass the time is such a sad cycle, every single day its like what can I become obsessively interested in this time to vaguely simulate companionship and a temporary sense of purpose that I know will eventually make me feel even more alone because even if I find meaning and enjoyment it is completely irrelevant to and isolated from everyone and everything else
came up with a new pointless kink identity. it’s called friend dom. it’s when you have to come up with every activity for hangout sessions cuz your friend is too indecisive or laid back and never decides on what they wanna do
Mom friend already exists
false. mom friend is the one that makes sure youve been kind to yourself, have eaten, and are emotionally stable
friend dom is the one whose animosity you can feel radiating through their stare as they choose the hangout activity for the 68th time in a row
when I was younger, I used to think true love was tumultuous and intense. but now, I feel like real love is gentle. passionate in a soft, sweet way. not fireworks and drama, but a love that’s like coming home, the breeze on a still summer day. a balm to the aches of the world.
After 66 years, South Korea court just declared Abortion ban as ‘unconstitutional’ and decided they will change the law by next year! I’m so proud of all the women who fought back!
