  • Learned behavior is rarely expressed in genetics.

    I wonder which came first, the invasive snails that look about the same as the other snails they were eating or the population decline of kites?

    The fittest in this case would be the kites that could survive the lean times before the new snails had time to spread, which could mean quite a lot of things but probably isn’t related to them being picky about what snails they were eating as they starved to death.







  • Fun fact: the APC the American army used in Vietnam had aluminum armor. This is on the face reasonable enough as aluminum is stronger than steel by weight, but the design left the armor incapable of stopping a .50cal fired from the MG the Vietnamese used… The first time.

    It would stop it after the first penetration, meaning the bullets would bounce around inside the vehicle and turn everything inside into a meat slurry.
