Will you rename your hand-made “fancy title” to “Owner of the deckard” once you acquire one?

New studies challenge the notion of how allergies may have developed.

Ancient DNA tests the notion that allergies are due to our dirtier past

Isn’t this basically what that one kurzgesagt video said

Apparently, Rexpresso Muesuem in Suwon, South Korea serves T.rex tiramisu (T.REX TIRAMI - 13000 KRW, or $9).

This is literally a piece of edible art!

@aah31415

Is there a reason ichtyosaurs kept their hind flippers but cetacians didn’t?

i have no clue to be honest…

but if you like it when people make stuff up: my theory would be that since cetacians universally beat their tails up and down while the marine reptiles of the past go side to side, marine mammals would already have roll/pitch stabilization from their tails, while marine reptiles would lack it, having roll/yaw stabilization instead, resulting in an evolutionary drive to keep their limbs. Why this never resulted in marine mammals evolving a second dorsal fine like many fish have, idk, though i would note that large whales tend to have the dorsal fin very very far back, and all fully marine tetrapods have horizontally thin tail shapes already, providing some degree of balance no matter which axis they beat their tails along.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Still they kept a shape similar across ichtyos, cetaceans and sharks…

And Phylliroe counts, too, right? Now all we need is a fish-shaped bird to evolve.

Penguins seem pretty close idk

Different but similar idea of convergent evo in a niche is the classic snake:

Got snakes and Legless lizards, caecilians and sirens and some salamanders, eels and pipefish, ferrets and weasels and ermines and martens, myriapods and velvet worms and caterpillars and plain ol worms, and prolly more I’m not thinking of off the top of my head

Again, biggest one missing is birds! I actually can’t think of one this time, though I’ll also admit the mammals might be a bit of a stretch

Edit: Also, as to Ichthyosaurs, I think I also read something once saying Deathwake is right about why the fins remain? Could have just as easily been a scientific article as it could have been the Google AI though

They came into the scene rather late when many snake-likes already emerged so it’s not surprising they haven’t got one of their own.

Feel free to use this Thug Life Hexaquill however you want.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I think we need a new poll

Which one do you like more?

• Disturbance with 1 pair of sunglasses
• Hexaquill with 3 pairs of sunglasses

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

And if anyone is wondering, I made the picture using 3D Paint to overlay the pictures of sunglasses. No AI used in any way (sad that people have to mention this now when creating art/memes).

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Tbh it looks simple enough to have been created in normal paint

I found this picture of Clippy with pixelated sunglasses on Reddit.

Too bad we cannot post a picture of Disturbance with pixelated sunglasses. Actually, could the Disturbance wear more than one pair, since it has four “ears”?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Why would it wear more than one pair? Also pretty sure most people call those horns, If I got right what you meant here

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

So those horns on the Distrubance are not its ears? I did not know that!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I am pretty sure it’s FACE is the EAR

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

So monocle on the “face” of the Disturbance for

would be an “ear-acle”?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose so, also pretty sure Disturbance doesn’t have it’s airways in this place where the saxophone meets the “head”.
