His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
Darwin was a real one.

“It is like confessing a murder"- on the implications of telling his friends about his theory. That was an interesting read thanks

oh weird, the link keeps getting mangled when I paste it.
Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid

11 March 1958 clockin in. Hate me some variety
fartographer@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Bold to pick a date 70 years after his death. In that case, I’m 1993 Darwin, rolling in his grave at the launch of the Darwin Awards.

And yet, you write. Curious.
I have a timed close-book exam today so I am of course 1 Oct 1861

I’m not happy about it.

Sounds like a regular programmer today.

Actually he sounds like a top-tier programmer today

Generally, he was not a fan of things
banazir@lemmy.ml 8 hours ago
He did love eating every new animal he ran across.

“I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees”
I’m going to look for some kitschy artwork at the thrift store and make this into a “Live Laugh Love” style wall decoration.

Didn’t he have the most amount of trouble with his hammock? I recall from the Dollop episode on him this dude couldn’t get in our out of the damn thing like ever

Darwin was famously seasick, but also wanted to really look at birds and shit. Bad combination.

Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.

“So, what didn’t he hate?”, I hear you ask.
Worms. He loved worms. The man could watch them for hours.

I am very poorly today.
Poorly what?
Poorly everything.

He sounds like he needs to take a cold shower.
Blade9732@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Good News! Hot showers weren’t common place with non royalty for another 50 years. Likely his only choice of shower was a cold shower.
banazir@lemmy.ml 18 hours ago
I was actually making a joke about the hydrotherapy he used to treat his condition. It involved getting doused with 900 liters of cold water. I don’t think anyone caught my joke.

Fuck bees though.
Dumb bees and their dumb honey.
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 21 hours ago
You leave the bees alone or prepare to catch some hands my good sir and/or madame. Wasps can get fucked tho

It’s hip to fuck bees.

Missed opportunity to include his praise of inbreeding to produce “superior stock”.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 13 hours ago
What?
No.
Darwin married his first cousin, yeah…that was the social norm at the time, not long ago.
But he hypothesized and later proved that the inbreeding was a direct cause of his children’s poor health.
I wouldn’t say he was a fan of inbreeding, just a reluctant participant who eventually warned us of its dangers.

Same list for me every morning before the coffee.
