when i got my wisdom teeth removed and was feeling loopy from anasthesia i didn't do anything stupid the only weird thing was that i came up with a new type of themed playthrough for pokemon sun/moon

basically you only use pokemon that are based off of species native to hawaii and play through the game as a rogue conservationist

NEW OC IDEA I CAME UP WITH IN A DREAM... she's a woman from goa, india, who was rejected by her family for being gay, and receives a vision from her ancestor, a portuguese pirate, that his treasure is buried under a nightclub on the beach and it's her job to seek it out.

as funny as it is to say, "there's no such thing as a fish" is not actually true

"science doesn't know what a fish is" is really not true

"fish" is not a monophyletic category. there is no common ancestor of everything that we call a "fish," and none of the things that we don't

"fish" is a paraphyletic category -- and a useful one! marine biologists use it! "fish" describes a general body plan and lifestyle. it is useful to be able to talk about coelacanths and tuna in a shared category, though coelacanths are more closely related to us than to tuna.

where this bugs me is the repetition of the idea that "scientists" are hidebound and uncreative, unable to comprehend anything that doesn't conform to a specific idea of categorization -- when this is fundamentally untrue! we know perfectly well what a "fish" is. the fact that it's a paraphyletic group is only confounding to pop science, as a funny factoid, not to anyone who actually understands what a paraphyletic group is.

This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever seen
