I Just Wanna Bring This Up Again To Complain That Some People Whose First Language Does Not Contain Both

I just wanna bring this up again to complain that some people whose first language does not contain both a R and L sounds might have a really hard time telling them apart (hence the Japanese accent "Engrish" trope, those sounds actually are very easy to mix up if you aren't trained from childhood to tell the difference) so to them molarity and molality might literally sound exactly the same spoken out loud wtf.

Science terminology should be both easy to remember and easy for students to understand spoken out loud. Similar problem with many other terms I'm sure you're familiar with.

IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF ESTABLISHING ANY KIND OF TERMINOLOGY, DON'T DO THAT!

There's a special spot in hell for scientists who make similar sounding terminology, especially when they're things that would regularly be used with each other but mean completely different things. Like molarity and molality (italicized to show my contempt).

Forget the invention of weapons of mass destruction, that's the most evil thing a scientist has ever done

Naked Sperm Plants

Gymnosperms are weird.

The thing all gymnosperms have in common, and that separates them from their much more successful rival cousin group the angiosperms (flowering plants) is that they have seeds without a seed coat. That’s literally what "gymnosperm" means.

Sperm means "seed" or whatever. And the Greek root gymn- means "naked". Because in ancient Greece the gymnasium was a place where manly men would go to work out, make gains, be naked, wrestle, hang out with the boys and appreciate each other’s gains. While naked. Together. Y’know… Man stuff. For men.

Gymnosperms include pine trees, cycads (which look like giant half-buried pineapples with a single giant pinecone/flower thing coming out the top), gnetums (look like normal leafy plant vines), ephedras (weird stick shrubs with no leaves), the welwitschia(an immortal desert plant that grows exactly two blade leaves endlessly until it’s just a tangled pile of leaf), and the gingko (a single species of tree that paradoxically hasn't gone extinct for 299million years despite being completely unadapted to any existing ecosystem and also makes vomit "berries") So you see, all the Gymnosperms are freaking weird.

I mentioned ginkgo “berries” in scare quotes because these aren’t actually berries. They’re not even fruits. It’s actually just the seed but with a fruit-like fleshy seed coat bit around it. Remember how I said that gymnosperms by definition don’t have seed coats? Yeah, the ginkgo has one of those despite being a gymnosperm; taxonomy is a folly of man’s hubris.

Is it normal to have pet names for all my nemeses? Mr. Inhuggable? Agent Hunk? Schwuper-Duper-Bear?

Oh, shit, honey-bunny himbo-bimbo is attacking my secret lair!

We evolved to be attracted to the double round shape of butts and boobs because it's an indicator of a healthy ratio of hipsize/fat/muscle.

This might also be where the traditional bi-lobed heart symbol (<3) came from. 'Cause it sure as fuck doesn’t come from the shape of the actual heart.

Someone literally just drew a minimalist representation of a woman’s clunge and said it’s the symbol of love. They even turned it upside down and said it’s a heart, an organ completely uninvolved in love.

But I know what he was doing. He tricked everyone into putting literal pornography everywhere in plain sight. Based. 

If we lived in a matriarchy all our valentine’s day cards would be cut into the shape of a dick and called a spleen.

Why do Humans have Such Big Boobs? (They're Not Just for Milk)

Humans are the only species whose females have enlarged breasts their whole lives after puberty. Isn't that weird?
