  The anatomical answer is sagitally down the midline.

  I felt that in the bone. Postdoc life is one foot getting ready to move and the other foot dreading every decision that led to the thought “A PhD is a good idea”

  It was a good idea, but holy shit is it all sorts of miserable.

  Adding to this: XX and XY works for mammals, but not for other vertebrates (fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians). Birds and reptiles have Z and W chromosomes, and unlike in mammals where females are homozygotes, males in these groups are homozygotes. Some reptiles have temperature dependent sex determination, where ambient temperature above some value will produce males or females (depends on species). Some reptiles are composed entirely of females.

  Some fish will straight up change sexes depending on age and male-female ratio in a social group.

  In other groups it’s not even different chromosomes but simply copy number of specific genes.

  Plants can do all sorts of whacky things like produce seeds and pollen in the same individual.

  Fungi are an entirely different cluster fuck because they have mating types which are not simple binaries.

  Eukaryotic sex determination isn’t a binary and it isn’t even a nicely categorizable spectrum. It’s a grab-bag of whatever doesn’t perma-fuck your genome.

  Source: me, I’m a biologist. Though admittedly I work on animals so my understanding of fungi and plant stuff is fuzzy at best.

  Course IDs vary from university to university—when I was an undergrad, lower div classes were <100, upper div between 100 and 199, and grad level classes 200+.

  I’m genuinely curious what that means. What does it mean to “be manly”? Is it bad to not “be manly”? Along a similar vein, what is the opposite of “being manly”? Who defined the qualities that make a person “manly” (and what authority do they have on the subject)?

  When you both shit hard enough together at the same time and wonder to yourselves “was that splashback mine…?”

  Quench your thirst with sausage infused water by throwing a respectable number of Vienna sausages in one of those infuser bottles.

  A crow eating chicken and a human eating beef are actually really good parallels. Crows and chicken are 91 million years diverged while cows and humans 94 million years diverged.

  I’ve always thought sky burials are pretty cool, but as a person living in North America who has no plans to move to Tibet or take up Buddhism, that’s completely impractical. Next best thing might be for my to be placed on a body farm.

  my favorite feature is that it’s a smart device—you connect it with your phone via proprietary app and it tells you the temperature of your counter top. Also for a low monthly subscription fee it will also recite the screen play of a random episode of friends in 4 languages simultaneously, none of which are English, Spanish, Arabic, or Mandarin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tell me what it smells like in the comments!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A miasma of post-Doritos farts, ass sweat, and uncleaned litter box.

  The feeling of the spray hitting your skin will be akin to feeling piss aerosols/drops hit your leg when wearing shorts and using one of those urinals that extend to the floor.

  It’s not that I’m not a morning person, it’s that I hate the realization of having woken up again.
