Why are people so unfathomably dumb, like, I'm afraid.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, some people can't even recognize a joke.

Right, anytime anyone fucks up it's sarcasm, anytime anyone is dumb, it's a joke, nothing is real, everything is a cake.

“Science memes”

Are you trying to suggest that your use of punctuation is sarcastic?

People don't get the timescale of an evolutionary feature like this. And how long it was only kinda bird like.

Intuitively understanstanding evolution is something most people dont need so i cant really fault people for it. But yeah either trolling or actually stupid who knows.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I do wish that the personification of evolution wasn't such a thing. People so often attribute reasoning or intention to the process, when there is no such thing.

Wait until they advance and start thinking about things like, how did plants find out what bees like to eat. This will spook them to mind-blown town.

LOL, how meta ("people haven't evolved to understand evolution").

*gestures broadly*

I mean you just gotta use that big ass evolved brain of yours to understand evolution. No more extra evolution necessary at this point.
