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

        Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid

        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

    Sounds like a regular programmer today.

      Generally, he was not a fan of things

      source

        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.

    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.

    source
    • 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.

    Big Darwin mood

  • xia@lemmy.ca ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Missed opportunity to include his praise of inbreeding to produce “superior stock”.

    source
    • 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.
