  The European roller chick will vomit a foul-smelling orange liquid onto itself to deter a predator. The smell also warns the parents on their return to the nest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution Factsberg⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My attempt at an explanation

  • Ducks are dinosaurs: Ducks, as with all birds, evolved from theropods and are considered living dinosaurs.

  • Horses walk on middle fingers: Ancestors of modern horses have 5 toes the size of a small dog. Eventually they evolved away the other toes and only the middle toe remain.

  • Bees are crustaceans: Crustacea is not a single branch in the tree of life but a collection of multiple branches (i.e. paraphyletic). If we pick a point and said everything after that is considered the same group, then by necessity we have to put bees (and all hexapoda) and what we traditionally call crustaceans into a single group. That group would be pancrustacea. Is that exactly the same as saying bees are crustaceans? Are jackdaws crows? I'll let you decide.

  • Pterodactyls are fish: Fish is also not a single branch. By the same token, if we want to put what we traditionally counted as fish (such as sharks, carps, and lungfishes) together as a single group, we have to include all vertebrates (which includes pterodactyls, us, whales, etc.)

  • Redwood are algae: I'm not too sure about this one. The wikipedia page for algae say that it excludes the land plants (embryophytes) which redwoods are part of.

  • Humans are part virus: Viruses have the ability inject and splice their genetic material into our genome and have our cells do the cloning for them. Usually it is not passed on to the next generation. Apparently an ancient strain of virus from millions of years ago incorporated themselves into our genome and our germ cells (sperm and egg) and can be passed on to the next generation.

  Ah, my bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insomnia⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And this post is about ancestors of ferns which are unknown so I'm not sure what are you suggesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insomnia⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's impossible to compare genetics from fossils and we can't

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insomnia⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it means we don't know what the ancestors of those plants are/what they evolved from. They just kinda showed up in the fossil record.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What character is the king of plot armor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like King fits more. OPM is depressed Superman, but King is literally taking all the credit and get out of deadly situations alive by being at the right place at the right time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Correct⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not forced, just a coincidence. There are loads of homophones in Chinese so it's easy to make puns like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Correct⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Chinese watermelon is called 西瓜(west melon) and wintermelon is 冬瓜 (winter melon) but the first word sounds like 東 (east). Pumpkins are called 南瓜 (south melon) and in some places a certain squash is called 北瓜 (north melon)

  I've sunken so many hours in that game, half of which is fiddling with load outs to fit the scenario I'm thinking of lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Postal 2 there's a platforming section and, because I suck at platformers, let alone in first person, so I was saving a lot. After a few very short and successive saves, the dude made fun of me for saving so much.

  Also in Portal 2, just a lot of GlaDOS lines in general.

  I remember kids with meter long rip cords and giant knock offs and extra large metal disks that terrorised the playground back in the day lol. There were also kids with knock off metal disks with flints that spark when 2 bayblades hit each other so that was cool.

  I actually 100% agree and have 0 problem with the text itself. But the selection of the men in the Venn diagram completely undermined the sentiment of the text.

  Damn, you're right. I haven't really watched The Bear much and I don't really know him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covers the bases⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I love Jack Black as much as the next guy. But you gotta be honest, he's simply not a muscle hunk. He's got the sauce, just not that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covers the bases⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone minus Jack Black and Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson (intersection of line cook and elf prince only) is a hunk in my book. Jeremy Allen White can be argued either way, granted. But if people think the rest aren't hunks they have an unrealistic body standard imho.

  Especially putting Cavil as Geralt on a list of supposed "non-muscle hunks"? Nonsense.

  Why do guys think they have to be muscle hunks to be attractive?
