Do octopodes even have teeth?

Beware the coming of the World Canadian.

Not sure about amorphous but I wager he meant to say “vicious”.

After delving into quaternions, complex numbers feel simple and intuitive.

Still very charming, though.

And here is a picture of a kitten in case you need it https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Juvenile_Ragdoll.jpg

He’s not a calebrity reliant on publuc opinion. He doesn’t give a shit.

Nuts!

Now that’s just silly.

Awww! That’s a cute fish you got there!

Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.”

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t.

It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was already a thing.

Rimmer was right!

Pretty sure botanists are aware that the same word can have different meaning outside of their scientific field. The people actually bothered by this are pedants who read about it on the internet, not people who studied botany.

No.

Yeah, but the dead guy is still minus one vote.

She became Batgirl!

It makes sense when you consider they had to leave the sea only to return to it again later.

The Profane Globohomos.

Has a nice ring to it.
