False. Those are all drones.

One of my favorite part of planet earth was when they showed a fox steal baby chicks from a bunch of birds. At first I hated the fox but then it showed that the fox was doing it to feed their hungry children. It really taught me about perspective.

This meme is incorrect. A botatist would have names like:

“Little bastard who ate my Alyssum maritimum”

“Fucker who at the flower buds on my Forsythia europea”

“Little shithead who dug up my Lathyrus odoratus”

LongbottomLeaf,

Correct. Also,

“Poops seeds of…”

“Nests in…”

That’s prob the least of their concern given the evolutionary pressures to disguise the nest from above.

Cuckoos are probubly about.

I think the funniest part about cuckoo’s is that they can’t be bothered to parent their offspring but some will still hang around just to make sure the host is taking care of the cuckoo’s chicks.

Like if the host bird notices the cuckoo chick and tries to not feed it the cuckoo will harass the host bird and try to kill the other chicks.

The cuckoo arms race is facinating.

Some birds have developed specialized patterns in their young and specialized movements to prove they are not cuckoos. Cuckoos have developed mimicking patterns and movements as a result.

The UK loses billions per year since Brexit. We could instead ave used that money for this and still have been better off

Oakification is just the plant version of crabification

drolex, (edited )

Would you care to expand on that?

ETA: sorry for those who answered already (thanks), my comment was about the oakification part. I am well aware of the crabification, being a crab myself

zagaberoo,

Referring to Carcinization

DragonTypeWyvern,

A ludicrous theory when crabs merely wish they could match the might of the beetle empire.

Frozengyro,

Everything evolves to crab eventually

It was a joke. I don’t think oakification is real.

rockerface,

That’s what an oak would say

drolex,

Too late, I’m scared of becoming an oak now

ILikeBoobies, in mantra that keeps me going through grad school

Corn can be vodka as well

CrowAirbrush, in mantra that keeps me going through grad school

I thought the same thing, turns out all i can do is become burnt out.

WingedThing, in mantra that keeps me going through grad school

Vodka may be one of the worst things for a potato to become. Fries? Mashed with gravy? Poutine? Chips/crisps? Come on.

taanegl, in Listen, Susan. It's a valid theory, just look at the damn thing.

Falsifiably so.

metaStatic,

It's crazy to think about how long it took to get more than one-cell life!

BloodSlut, in Listen, Susan. It's a valid theory, just look at the damn thing.

but imagine how fuckin cool it would be if they were

Klear, (edited )

Sadly it’s the other way around. Tree stumps are nothing but small rock formations. How disappointing.

EllyEinhorn,

It wood be really cool.

turtlepower, in It's a sample. For my desk.

Geologists always playing with their rocks while looking at gneiss cleavage and schist.
