Pakicetus looks really cute in this reconstruction! I’ve always seen the species pictured looking as a kind of a big rat. This is so much better.
- Comment on Whales is whales 1 week ago:
Did they? Wiki tells me “that cetaceans are phylogenetically closely related with the even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla)”. By the way, I like the fact that we’re both angry :)
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
I think it depends on the particular people. I know a conservative whom it is impossible to talk to without them turning the conversation into politics full of hate in the shortest possible time. I’d love to know, whether there’s any statistics about this, because obviously the experience from our social bubbles is not enough.

Yes, I was referring to the evolutionary aspects, not the ecological ones :)
- Comment on Whales is whales 1 week ago:
They are called sea cows, but they’re really sea elephants? I hope I’m not terribly wrong.
- Comment on Whales is whales 1 week ago:
Wait, seals are sea doggos, right? Whales are sea cows.

The meaning doesn’t diminish the beauty, right? There’s nothing wrong about birds being horny.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 week ago:
Eating beef is expensive, though. I agree with the rest.

- Comment on If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely. Diverse friends give you a lot of insight and perspective and can help you not to become too judgemental. And then, when you’re really old, you will still have a social circle despite the older people and many of your age group being gone.
- Comment on This is not a stereogram. If you look at it a certain way it will not resolve into anything. 2 weeks ago:
I’m kind of disappointed it’s not a pipe.

Dwarf bread.

The older you get, the more it is important to have younger friends as well.

OT, but I think we would make a great pair - something like Crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

What species of frog is that?
- Comment on Anthropology 2 weeks ago:
Sausages are often sold as a pair there, just like socks - you won’t get just one :) Even the czech word párek (sausage) means also “a pair”.

I do have some experience with the Czech Republic and I’m pretty sure this isn’t the case.

- Comment on Bees 3 weeks ago:
Also, big numbers of honeybees can cause decline in local native bee species and other pollinators, which in turn can endanger rare native plant species.
- Comment on banaynay 3 weeks ago:
There are also many awsome natural species, like the short one with pink fruit which peel themselves when ripe (Musa velutina): www.google.com/search?q=musa+velutina&client=fire…

I’m sure they mean a Moa chicken.
- Comment on new organelle!!!! 3 weeks ago:
This is exactly right. The alga has one more organelle that originated as a bacterial symbiont, just like mitochondria and chloroplasts, which is super cool! The alga, Braarudosphaera bigelowii, is a coccolithophore, which is very cool by itself. They are important part of the carbon cycle. And they loos supercool - they are covered in calcareous scales and are shaped like […wikimedia.org/…/Braarudosphaera_bigelowii.jpg](a dodecahedron!!!)
