And Stuff

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

I know you’re being facetious, but this is an actual issue with morphology-based phylogeny.

*leans over and whispers to person beside me* what are they talking about

*leans over and whispers back*  Human ability to quantify and categorize natural phenomena is sketchy at best and wildly misleading at worst

consider the coconut

this reminds me of that time Plato defined humans as “featherless bipeds” and Diogenes ran in with a plucked chicken screaming “BEHOLD A MAN!”

i love how you say “it reminds me of that time” like you were there.

listen if an immortal feels brave and supported enough to come out we should respect them

This post is a journey

1 Reblog = 1 Respect

I maintain that humans started attempting classify animals, and some god or another made the platypus, and is still laughing.

Athena: You mean venomous, and make sure the eggs have both reptile and bird traits. Hermes: *takes the joint* Give it extra senses. Poseidon: It should be aquatic.

I MEAN where’s the lie

Demeter: … And where exactly do you expect me to put this? Everyone: Australia.

Reblogging for that last exchange.

@shanastoryteller

somebody said they will beat my ass because of this joke. Grave mistake

I would like to wish everyone an uneventful new year

May we live in very uninteresting times

This is like hilarious but also stop being pretentious, it’s a perfectly fair comparison to make. Navy blue = a darker and more desaturated blue and maroon = a darker and more desaturated red. The modifier “navy” is so disconnected enough from its roots that it makes sense for it to assume a new contextual meaning. Sure, the name comes from the British navy using it, but what we’re talking about is how it modifies a color.

This guy thinks it’s an insult to artists where as I’m pretty sure a sizable amount of the notes on this post  are artists saying ‘’YEAH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!! NAVY RED!!’’

if you don’t know the name origin of every single color ever then you aren’t an artist

and mustard is navy yellow

Viridian is navy green.

I am 100% using “navy” as a modifier for all darker, somewhat desaturated colors now.

This is one of the most adorable comics I’ve ever read
