Norgur, to memes in But cat domesticated us

I like OP's version better, so that's what is fact now.

Norgur, to lemmybewholesome in Bonding time

That's literally years of my life!

Remember how you could jump around the roof of the bank of old Orgrimmar just so you would land on every part of the roof and never skip one of the struts? That's what "playing oW with the boys" is like. Talking about your day and jumping in a circle

"Accidentally"
"Forgetting"

So "pay or you don't get shit" is okay, but "pay or see ads, your choice" is bad somehow?

Norgur, to piracy in Youtube Anti-AntiAdblocker uBlock Origin Filter

Yeah! There needs to be a model that does neither cost nor inconveniences me. Everything else is unacceptable and corporate BS!

This answer confuses me. The message on that pop up is "buy YouTube premium, so you won't be stuck in our ad supported model" and now we're ranting that they need to find another model to finance themselves? Isn't YouTube premium exactly that?

Norgur, to animemes in The boys.

we all thought "the boys" and yourself were so cool with our toy weapons and shit. Yet, to our parents, the kid with the "Warrior's Armor" was just a 10yo with socks for mittens...

Norgur, to mildlyinteresting in Black panthers are not an actual species - they are jaguars and leopards with melanism, the opposite of albinism

Doesn't matter, it was fun to rip it apart.

So, before I start: I would not have said anything if you hadn't gone all "uhm actually" in a condescending tone towards someone who's just doing a silly little twist on the taxonomy thing on some inconsequential thread on the internet.

Might I point your professional attention as "scientist who studies lions" to the fact that the thread is about how "Panther" is not a real species but one of two other species with a different level of melanines in their fur? Good.
Now, would you care - in your scientific scientist way - to shift your attention to this thing you said:

They’re both. A panther is a panther and a member of the panthera genus.

My layman brain does the big confoosy-boosy! Isn't the point of the whole "useless party knowledge" type post here that panthers are, in fact, not panthers because "panthers" are not a species at all?

You said a lion is a panther,

They said that because - and this is true - "panthera" and "panther" are the same word. "Panther" is ancient Greek while "Panthera" is Latin and -depending on how your language adopted the terms- the plural of "panther". So an animal that belongs to the "Panthera" genus does belong to the "panther" genus, depending on the host language used. Since we already clarified that "panthers" are not a species at all, the only "panthers" are the members of the panthera genus. So yes, a lion is a panther. So is - to further ridicule your "sciency scientist"-attitude Panthera uncia. So yes, we have thrown the snow leopard in there, too.

I somehow threw Jaguars in with the lynxes which would have meant that a black panther that's acutally a Jaguar would have been a lynx. Idk what befell me there... Jaguars are Panthera, too, so my "might" is not true. Black Panthers are Panthers.

Norgur, to mildlyinteresting in Black panthers are not an actual species - they are jaguars and leopards with melanism, the opposite of albinism

Let's mildly interest the shit out of this one: While Black Panthers aren't a species, the class of animals tigers and leopards and some other big cats belong to is called "Panther" (plural "Panthera"). So... Tigers are Panthers while black Panthers might not be.

Norgur, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

Yeah, the thing is the "unpowered" part. Look how much energy an AC chugs to achieve that cooling. This tower uses wind power to do it's thing.
