In the universe, there’s always gonna be someone bigger than you.

“keep these & see what happens” is that a threat

Octopus and squid evolution is officially weirder than we could have ever imagined

Just when we thought octopuses couldn’t be any weirder, it turns out that they and their cephalopod brethren evolve differently from nearly every other organism on the planet.

In a surprising twist, scientists have discovered that octopuses, along with some squid and cuttlefish species, routinely edit their RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequences to adapt to their environment.

This is weird because that’s really not how adaptations usually happen in multicellular animals. When an organism changes in some fundamental way, it typically starts with a genetic mutation - a change to the DNA.

The findings have been published in Cell.

when you just want space memes but the app is garbage

It was a huge disappointment as a child to fall in love with the stars and then find out how much math it requires to get anywhere near them. 

This might be my favourite iteration of this meme.
