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

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

Zeus: *hits joint* okay so like. It’s gonna have a duck bill right. But an otter body okay? And then a beaver tail. It’s a mammal. But. It lays eggs!

Hades: wait wait dude. Give it. Give it poison. Make it poisonous

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.

i understand that ao3 staff have bigger problems on their hands like wrangling code and dealing with harassment campaigns and planning their next vacation but it is VITALLY IMPORTANT to my personal enjoyment that they add one feature and it is this: when looking up an australian character, there needs to be a ticky box to only filter for fics written by australians

junkrat is not a bogan, he’s a derro, also an ocker ratbag, acceptably a larrikin and/or dag, definitely scungy and a bit of a hoon but not a yobbo. i hope this clears things up, thank you for your time

hey quick question what the FUCK does this say

approximate translation:

junkrat is not a trashy working class guy, he’s a guy who looks homeless and possibly is, also a stereotypically Australian type of asshole, acceptably a prankster and/or well-meaning dork, definitely gross and a bit like the kind of guy who drives fast cars yelling for fun but not the kind of loud dumb delinquent who goes around picking fights and trashing things.
