i hate this image because the orientation of the explosions seems to be motivated more by the horizontal plane of the image rather than the curvature of the planet
dear claude. now that you have read my corpus of 260k tweets and retweets, please ULTRATHINK about everything i have been thinking about. thank you <3

Until proven otherwise, I have to assume that its purpose is to encourage suicide.

Flight is one of the reasons insects are succesful, but i think also important is that they are much more tolerant towards being very bad fliers, allowing more freedom for the rest of their morphology. there are ungraceful birds, but crashes and chafing are more costly for them

unfortunately for the germans and norwegians, the german cockroach and norwegian rat are also probably from the middle east

the middle east can fight over cats, rats and honey bees

instead of everyone choosing lions or eagles, a countrys national animal should be their most prominent invasive export. China gets the spotted lanternfly, USA gets the raccoon or potato beetle and several european countries get to fight over the zebra mussel

@norvid_studies they were nice enough to ship the large brand appendix outlining all the use cases not allowed with a sophisticated language model that can summarise it for you

of course i could be wrong and im probably also ignoring important details of protein physics

i talked to gemini about this and it tried to negotiate with me that actually viruses should count as template conversion, but this seems like bs to me. i dont think something analogous to template conversion can occur on a complex system, esp. since it might have defenses
@norvid_studies @joejanizek kind of weird that only proteins (and some RNAs???) can reproduce through template conversion, but i guess it has to do with complexity of higher enteties that would disallow a mechanism like folding to convert them

its supposed to be a generic bumblebee but it doesnt actually exist, outside maybe of rare freaks of nature
i hope the maker of this scale appreciates how much the bumblebee confused me. at first glance it kind of looks like bombus terrestris, but b. terrestris has a final white stripe. i have actually never seen a bumblebee that has exactly 3 yellow stripes at those specific spots

Spectacular work. This needs to somehow break over into bio/paleo Twitter.

i could totally see them struggling to spread their legs, trying to mount the larger female. like a frog or bumblebee
What makes them men, specifically

the interesting thing is that numerosity follows a similar logarithmic encoding as it does in animal number sense

Im sure this has been talked about before, but i only just saw it and wanted to mention it

i started moisturizing my nose with lanolin. i hope preventing my nose from drying out and developing small tears will also lessen the likelihood of viral entry. that believe is based on the fact that anal is more likely to transmit HIV
itβs flu season and iβm once again reminded of this magic cure for a stuffed up nose

there are attempts at better capturing biodiversity and evolutionary history, like integrative biodiversity, which takes in morphospace, genotype space, ecology, biogeography etc. but its fundamentally costly and unwieldy and difficult to integrate into ones own mental model
The goal of a phylogeny-only systematics is not to capture all evolutionary information, which is logically impossible; e.g. convergence, reversals, chance. We must be careful to avoid paraphylectic as much as polyphyletic groups.
