A meme doesn’t have to be funny. ;)

You engaged, didn’t you?

Engagement is not the only thing in life lmao what are you, elon?

kattenluik,

Block, report or read the rules and ask the moderators. You’re wasting your own time and everyone else’s, I found this an enjoyable meme and so did many others.

@ubermeisters@lemmy.world avatar

I feel like blocking the user because I don’t think they’re post fits a community is a pretty fucking drastic action dude. Also I never blocked moderators of communities that I enjoy because the system with moderators and user blocks is kind of fucky on here. I don’t think is right to block a moderator.

Edit: cry harder babes it’s OK:( the scary man can’t hurt you from here

can,

Shouldn’t it be transformative in some way? Like if someone edited it and then submitted it would feel more like a meme to me.

Nah, replication is enough, shows interest. This meme was stolen, thus it lives on as a vehicle. The intention here is to simply get people interested in the world around them. Not sure what the original goal was. This one just has a little more .jpg than the last. I’ve seen variants of this one, regardless. This is an old one.

So…

Uh…by your logic, every single image online that’s NOT original content, is a meme?

No wonder you made yourself moderator lmao… you’ve no idea what a meme is so of COURSE you would be the mod ugh. Thanks reddit2.0

Linking to a web definition of MEME to shut people up, is the most boomer shit I’ve ever seen, and I’m a boomer.

My friend, are you ok?

This was very interesting.

Deepus,

Yes, but also mildy infuriating.

those psuedopupils are the coolest in my opinion. i had no idea about those.

Omniraptor, (edited )

I don’t think the pseudopupils are a feature of the eye distinct from any other part, it’s just what the individual facets look like viewed at a shallow angle.

edit: not that there aren’t bugs with different colored regions of their eyes. I’m not sure about the functionality of those tho, is it for vision or camouflage or looking good for the ladies or what. Will google

Chinchillas have vertical slit pupils despite being small herbivorous rodents. There are definitely quite a few exceptions.

Have y’all tried her diet? I don’t know if it’s backed by science or not, but you can eat just about anything on it. My buddy Joe tried it, it made Joe lean.

6daemonbag, to science_memes in Roots of Mother Appalachia

I love the amount of praise in these comments. My dad is a geologist and used to always gush about the Appalachians when I was growing up

benjhm, to science_memes in Roots of Mother Appalachia

I’m by the river Meuse in Wallonie, which still cuts through the Ardennes, another end of same old mountain range as the Appalachians, continuously eroding while mountains uplifted (just as Indus and Brahmaputra cut through Himalayas now), before the Atlantic ocean existed. Makes you think about time, pity schools don’t teach this stuff.

TheScaryDoor, to science_memes in Roots of Mother Appalachia

The Rockies and most of the mountain ranges on the west coast were formed from the erosion of the Appalachian mountains!

What?

TheScaryDoor,

Basically sediment from the Appalachian region was deposited by ancient rivers and wind currents, with this sediment later being uplifted and then eroded to form the Rockies.

Coasting0942, to memes in The Netherlands

Pssh, we have that all over the US, big deal

shadeless,
@shadeless@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Knowing where the Netherlands begins?

Tar_alcaran,

The US probably has some rural bike paths, but I sure as shit haven’t seen any.

SomeAmateur, (edited )

(guys they mean the sudden changes in road quality)

Chariotwheel,

Dutch bicycle lanes? And here I thought the US was car junkie hell.

TexMexBazooka,

The US is giant. Some places have better bike infrastructure than others but it’s surely not the standard

NaibofTabr,

No, bad bike infrastructure is the standard.

SternburgExport,

He probably meant borders.

BorgDrone,

I thought he meant poorly maintained infrastructure.

IMongoose,

Ya, the US doesn’t have the bike lanes everywhere but there are tons of shit roads that turn into great roads due to town/county/state invisible lines.

doleo,

Thanks for contributing information about your underrepresented country

Coasting0942,

You are most welcome.

TexMexBazooka,

I mean… we have interstate travel and the US is massive. There are no real borders between states.

    Except for the similarities between both places having open borders… something explicitly mentioned in the post…

    mayonaise_met,

    This post isn’t about open borders, it’s about the contrast in bicycle and road infrastructure between the Netherlands and other countries. The open border was just the setup.

    The Netherlands has very specific urban/rural (re)design standards which are quite recognizable if you know them.

    TexMexBazooka,

    Oh do they? That’s interesting, do they have standardized bikes lanes everywhere?

    mayonaise_met, (edited )

    Well, yeah. There are guidelines for new infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean everything is up to date everywhere. There are roads that haven’t been resurfaced for quite a while that aren’t up to date. But on the whole it is very similar everywhere.

    It’s only a small country though.

    There is a Canadian YouTuber who lives in Amsterdam who makes videos about it: YouTube.com/notjustbikesI’ve lived here all my life so it’s nice to get an outside perspective on this all.

    Poor experiment. He didn’t find out what pollen allergies the plant might have had.

    With this sort of talent, the kid is sure to get a grant.

    NounsAndWords,

    What do you mean? He already tested the three most common allergens: pepper, being ticked by a feather, and feet.

    Mothra,
    @Mothra@mander.xyz avatar

    Me squinting hard trying to see if those are more common as allergens or as fetishes

    jaybone,

    This is a good candidate for a venn diagram.
