I wonder if this discourse sounds hilarious to a Greek person wondering why Angloids keep referring to themselves by letters of their alphabet.

Nautilus, which is like a cuttlefish with a cool spiral shell. I have no idea what they’re doing in this photo though. Probably some sort of intricate sex ritual.

How do I view a book with the tilted perspective in your screenshot? It’s only showing flat pages for me.

There’s no way a human’s bite is only 30% less than a dog’s. Our jaws have shitty leverage to chomp down hard.

Yeah, it’s technically illegal to sell blood and plasma but they get around this by paying you for your time instead. Gee, I wonder why this loophole doesn’t work for prostitution.

If capitalism itself has been identified as the root of the problem, what other solution is there except overthrowing it completely? Do you prefer applying temporary bandaids indefinitely?

They would most likely look the same but there are still evolutionary changes deeper in the DNA that aren’t visible like metabolic and digestive functions. A modern horseshoe crab would not be able to reproduce with one from a 100 million years ago despite looking virtually identical.

When I see massive and highly technical projects like this I wonder where they find enough skilled labor to build it. Just look at the immense complexity of this and they have to build miles and miles of it underground. I’m imagining that all of the construction workers have PhDs in physics or some shit. Or am I overestimating the demands here?

250 million years ago to 2019. This salt had a good run.

All tetrapods share a common ancestor but the land was already teeming with invertebrate life at the time. Take a look at this handy guide to see our lineage. :)

Because the Anglosphere was so xenophobic that even the Irish and Italians were too culturally exotic to them and thus demonized their entire belief system.

It’s quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of in all its grandeur.

I don’t think this position qualifies for that meme because there are legions of people who agree.

Yes, but it still reeks of colonial insensitivity when a white person says it. Non-indigenous Americans should have replaced that word with Native by now.

Hold onto it long enough and it will be eventually. Home ownership is the only real cheat code we have against inflation.

lmao did you just fantasize about threatening a vegan while grocery shopping?

My dumb ass assuming India’s culture of reverence for cows would lead to slightly better treatment for them but forgetting that capitalism will always demand the most profitable option.

How is the dairy industry in India? I would assume it is nowhere near as cruel as it is in the West, where sadistic practices are incorporated at every stage of the process in the name of efficiency.

Not only do they make way more per hour worked but they also get healthcare, paid sick leave, and a retirement plan. A gig worker is precariously teetering on the edge of disaster with no recourse if they are unable to meet their required daily deliveries to pay for living expenses.

It’s sobering to think that those of us with this mindset would have had kids anyway if we were born a few decades earlier. Society all but coerced everyone to marry someone of the opposite sex and reproduce regardless of their wishes.
