      Haha you are correct! I hate everything about it, including the reading order.

    Agreed. The microblogging format is more for one-way communication (i.e. 1 poster to many viewers). Trying to have a discussion or even just reading a discussion on twitter, mastodon, etc. is a terrible experience.

    It’s like the word balloons in a comic book. You just kinda work out the order via context.

    • Madison420@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      In comics there’s variation on common forms but most have set sequences that just may vary between countries because of the directions of reading. Lots of manga even have the authors preferred style described at the start of the book now.

  I’m not an entemolo intenolo bug scientician and I know nothing of the specifics of this species, so I can’t weigh in there.

  However, sometimes these new species have literally been right in front of our faces the whole time, it’s just that they’re barely distinguishable from other very similar and more common relatives.

  This is, of course, a vast oversimplification of things, but I remember reading an article about a new beetle being discovered in some random suburb. Essentially the reason the new species was discovered is because someone was counting the number of hairs on the larval beetles’ butts and noticed the discrepancy between two different populations and then realized that they were dealing with two different species, one of which had not been previously described.

  There’s a Disco Elysium joke here, but I can’t think of how to phrase it. Just pretend I made a perfectly worded reference.

  source

  • kautau@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    “Incredible. A new species. The chitinous shell, the impossibly long legs, the delicate, veined wings folded tight against its back. It is a creature unlike any you’ve ever seen, a marvel of evolutionary design. The scientific community will be astounded. Your name will be etched into the annals of entomology. You lean in closer, notebook and pen at the ready, to jot down the physical characteristics. And that’s when it hits you. It… it looks exactly like a stick. The profound truth, ugly and unshakeable, settles in your guts like a stone. Of course, you didn’t find it. Nobody found it. You were just the first one to stop and stare long enough to realize that the stick wasn’t a stick.”

  • atomicorange@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I immediately thought of the Phasmid too! So this is me catching your perfectly worded reference and making a sly reply to let you know I’m in on the joke and we are both very cool for getting the reference.

  Just another example of entomologists withholding crucial information about the bug kingdom from us, who do they work for anyways? The humans or the bugs?

  What if there are EVEN bigger bugs out there entomologists just conveniently haven’t told us about yet…?

  Think TREEbug not Stickbug.

  The end is near and it is segmented into three main body sections!!

      Imagine a 15 inch chocolate coated stick bug. You can’t just get those anywhere. This is hidden information. Boycott bug and all it’s bullshit.

  It says a lot about your stick emulation if you elude discovery that long. It has achieved peak stickness.

  I bet indigenous peoples knew about it at certain points.

  • hansolo@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Indigenous People: “Hello? Why hey, strangers, who are-”

    Capt. Cook or some shit: “Hey there, you fellas good at working? Like, lots of manual labor?”

    Indigenous People: “uhh… Wut?”

    Capt Cook: “F it. Take the women, take their food, burn the rest.”

    Indigenous People: “Bro, hold up, we got this bug that looks like a sti-”

    Capt Cook: “BURN IT ALL. NOW!”

    Indigenous People: He’ll never know about that really big F’in stick bug!

    “A new species discovered” means “hey, we noticed nobody ever catalogued that one!”

    source

    • JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yeah! And, I don’t even necessarily mean to discount ignoring indigenous folks, which definitely can be a thing, but it really really does come down to sometimes folks just don’t write it down. I’ve seen a video (I wanna say a Smarter Everyday video) where they were in some South American jungle/rain forest or whatever and they very casually shine a light at a cloth to get moths to land on it, and they found like one or two new species.
