  Yes! Did you know that they can’t hear their own mating calls?

  There are dinosaurs right outside my window right now. I think they might be nesting, one is collecting sticks while the other is hopping across the lawn to look for worms.

  There’s five million ants for every human, should they decide to fuck us up, they will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution isn't linear.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How is horizontal gene transfer between microbes in any way relevant to a discussion about the ancestry of chickens that only reaches back to the dinosauria clade?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution isn't linear.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chicken is equally close to T. Rex as all other birds. They all go back to the same common bird-ancestor who was a relative of T. Rex.

  T. rex is more closely related to birds than to all non-theropod dinosaurs.

  T. rex also lived closer to us in time than to Stegosaurus.

  Same reason why humans don’t actually descend from monkeys, both monkeys and humans descend instead from a common ancestor that no longer exists

  But that ancestor was a monkey! We are monkey, you can’t evolve your way out of a clade.

  This is why, IMO, Digimon could be a better representation of evolution than Pokémon, since one Digimon can evolve into many different forms, so that kitten could become a fridge, but also a dragon or a knight with cannons

  But that is specifically not how evolution works. You can’t evolve your way out of a clade, everything a cat would evolve into, would also be a cat. Maybe a weird cat, maybe a whale-cat (like whales are still ungulates, even if they are really weird ones) but still a cat. You can’t evolve out of your ancestry.

  Such a weird mishmash of German, Latin and Greek

  That is extremely cool and I don’t doubt your expertise in the slightest. Was only commenting about that anoxic conditions alone wouldn’t necessarily preserve the bog mummies, but that the acidic conditions and tannins are likely more important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is at Jorvik Viking Center.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the human gut is anoxic too, so that shouldn’t be a problem for the gut-bacteria in that log and in the bog mummies. I think it way more likely that the sphagnan and the other tannins in peat-bog-water conserved this as well as the bog bodies.

  I’m here to provide the divided opinion: God Emperor of Dune is the best book in the series imho.

  There are lots of situations where it’s okay to sit on the fence. Centrism is only a problem when it’s pathologic.

  Still. I live near Mannheim, out of the 8 people in my circle of close friends, 4 either outright do not own a car or share a car with their spouses, because their households can make do with one or less cars. They can absolutely make do with walking, bikes, tram, bus and train for everything in their daily lives. In many american cities of the same size, that would simply not be an option.
