As long as I live I will simply never get over flounders. I will never get used to living in an evolutionary timeline that did this. How does anybody. How do any of you go about your day without remembering flounders and just thinking “wow what the fuck”
So, you know how it is hard to find a name for the vagina that sounds sexy but not vulgar? My husband just called our cat a ‘Fancy Possum’. I think that is the new ‘living cup’.
As in, Dean ran his knuckles over y/n’s fancy possum. I think this is totally a winner.
I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registered
PLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.org
You have probably heard of a celebrity who has a third or forth nipple, or maybe you know someone who has it, or you, yourself, has it. Have you ever wondered why it happens? Well, you can thank evolution for it.
In all mammals, nipples (and by extension breasts) form along a virtual line that goes from the armpit to the root of the thighs. In many animals (like cats and dogs) the breasts and nipples appear in the abdomino-pelvic portion of the line, while in ungulates they appear on the pelvic region (think of where the cow’s udders are located). This placement along the milk line is invariant among mammals.
What varies instead, is that genes that are responsible for the appearance of the breasts and nipples in the different points, can be turned on or off by evolution. In primates for example, all points are turned off, except for the 2 thoracic ones.
Sometimes though, these genes, due to expression malfunctions or mutations, happen to be switched on again. This causes the activation of an otherwise dormant gene, and the appearance of the supernumerary nipples.
The fact that humans and many mammals possess the genes to code for similar tissue structures, even though these structures do not appear in the adult form of said animals, is evidence for a common origin.
