winterayars, in Cave Bear

What we see probably isn’t even the full image, either. They probably put more details and colors on it and stuff, that’s just the outline. How else do you teach your buddies about what bears look like?

It’s like they studied at the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute.

Makes me feel better that bats are as uncoordinated as me.

Do they study OJ Simpson?

hakunawazo, in Cave Bear

Is banana for scale a thing in lemmy? Maybe it’s bear sized and some cave owner painted his wall with an outline using his natural bear spirograph.

CyberTailor, in Whomst???

They are doomed (skipped too much evolution classes)

gens, in Cave Bear

If i came across a bear, i’d sure remember it.

LemmyKnowsBest,

do you know what I think of every time someone uses the phrase “I came across…?”

shooting one’s jizz across something.

There. i said it.

M137,

I came across your mom the other day.

LemmyKnowsBest,

If you could see the reality of what you just said, she was a hemiplegic in a wheelchair, she had bed sores, she is now cremated and sprinkled over her parents in a graveyard.

In fact, the word “brown” is the morph of the original word for bear. Whatever humans used for brown was overshadowed long ago by the very experience of bear itself, and the color alone became a prevalent warning against that thing that is the single most terrifying brown in existence.

Orange too. What did those horrible citrus fruits do to our ancestors???

mindbleach,

Describes the stimulus and the response.

sepia_sempervirens, (edited )

Well, maybe. There’s also a competing hypothesis that says it’s the other way around, i.e. “bear” is derived from “brown”; the old word for “bear” became taboo, possibly for fear that speaking the beast’s name would summon it. Either way, the fear of bears has certainly left a mark on the Germanic languages.

Draconic_NEO, in Nuclear power? That's just steam power with extra steps!
@Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz avatar

Well Rotating a rotor on a generator is the most convenient way to make electricity with parts that last a long amount of time. Also doesn’t help that we use AC power while other sources like photovoltaic produce DC power which needs to be converted to be used.

Draconic_NEO, in What does a PhD mean?
@Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz avatar

People can make dents in the outer shell of human knowledge without having PhDs though. As in to discover something new and revolutionary, plenty of great scientists have and likely many more will continue to.
