  • Of course you’re one of the “my ignorance is worth as much as your facts” people.

    YOU don’t have an opinion that you’ve formed yourself. You’ve passively ingested ultra simplistic right wing rhetoric, because taking the time to actually understand the subject would mean you understand it and if you understood it you’d accept it because you’d know it’s know what that garbage rhetoric makes it out be.

    But no. You can’t simply spend a few minutes on Wikipedia reading about it. You probably sat there writing that reply for 20 minutes, which you could’ve spent actually reading the Wikipedia article on the subject to understand why no-one agrees with “your opinion.”











  • Not certain about fish, but I think that’s a similar case?

    Did you know humans are more closely related to catfish than catfish are to dogfish?

    QI | No such thing as a fish

    ¦“yeah, it makes sense why that shape would be favored in water,”

    Yeah, I can see that. But also it’s swimming in water. Then again if tou want to crawl around the bottom? Hexapod is probably the way to go. But then you also need to be able ro manipulate shit, so frontlimbs become bigger.

    Like a lot of space vehicles meant for surface exploring, both imagined and real, are usually six-wheeled, probably for added stability in a rocky terrain where there’s a bit less gravity and sometimes storms and whanot. And what is it like on the ocean floor? Rocky, basically “less gravity” and odd flows like storms.

    Idk there’s a bit more to it I guess, I’m just looking for what that bit is, or if there indeed is one.


  • I genuinely fail to see why it’s a thing. Like reading up it, it’s basically just convergent evolution of crustaceans to a crab-like shape.

    Couldn’t the same be said for a ton of fish-like animals? The many attempts of nature to develop a fish? Hell, even some mammals went back to the fish, plan, although with the tail-fin the wrong way and having to visit the surface to breathe.

    Or large-ish mammals all having pretty much a similar bodyplan, four limbs, head and neck.

    Like surely there’s something so specific in carcinisation that I just haven’t picked up on yet. If someone know what it is pls inform me.





  • Sure, yeah.

    Some are more…“beginner friendly”, as it were. But if you get some proper salty licorice from the pharmacy (and our pharmacies aren’t like US pharmacies where they sell everything like a grocery store), that’s definitely an acquired sensation.

    I say sensation, because it’s honestly more about sensation than taste. Kinda like chili in food. (Although ofc chilis have taste as well. Habaneros are very different from Scotch Bonnets etc.)

    Sensation, because it’s ammonium chloride that’s in there.
