If you gave me 1000 chances…I would not have guessed the end of that headline…

I would set myself on fire for Aaron Purr if he asked. And he probably would, the little asshole.

I have back issues that make sitting and standing still for any length of period very painful. If I had the money to get a Vision Pro, I would genuinely consider moving from Android to Apple.

He is often quite cross^-sant so maybe you’re just picking up on that

(He’s actually a very sweet, friendly cat who only occasionally shoplifts for the thrill of it)

Later he might yell at us to summon the ceiling birds, before yelling at the ceiling birds

There’s also one in Sydney! No idea if the franchise is there. But I’m always a slut for eggs.

Oh, I’m aware that a trait surviving doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best and I’m not trying to say that everything from the natural world is something you’d put in a design (you truly cannot understand how much I hate the human musculoskeletal system).

With that said, there are also a lot of really cool adaptions that can be utilised in R&D. My point was more a general comment about biomimicry being rad. Also, I think I was considering evolution as something of a…database that can be good to use when doing R&D.

Sorry if this isn’t very coherent…I’m meant to be asleep…

Also always happy to hear about weird quirks of evolution!

My husband’s work in R&D often involves him looking to nature to find ways to improve the efficiency of designs and materials. Evolution has done a lot of trial and error that often results in the most efficient way to deal with a problem, so giving a look to natural adaptions seems like a smart move.

And that’s why everything that we’ve designed to solve a problem in our house is a crab.

Yeah, the meme itself made me laugh out loud, but I almost didn’t save it because the word “bootyhole” gives me the creeps…

(Not to judge OP, or anyone who uses the word, this is a me problem)

I feel like the comparisons of chickens from the 1950s to those today really highlight this
