With convergent evolution it’s always “thylacine” this and “ichthyosaurs” that. Which is valid. But I’m really losing my mind over what’s happening with the yellow-throated longclaw and the eastern/ western meadowlark.

These two are separated by over 15 million years of evolution, in two distinct families. What is it about this specific plumage that it was hit upon twice in nearly identical iterations.

i can't vibe with anyone who thinks icarus was an ignorant idiot for flying too close to the sun. "oh i'd never do that i would have remembered my father's warning and been fine". do you seriously think that after years of imprisonment, feeling the sun on your face and the open air beneath your wings, you would be able to focus on anything but the joy of being alive and free? do you actually think that if you were given the opportunity to go where nobody has never been before, you wouldn't want to push it to the limit? to dare to be the first to try what no one else has ever even thought possible? do you honestly think you're too good for your own human nature? look me in the eyes and tell me if i strapped a pair of wings to your back that could take you wherever you wanted to go whenever you pleased that you'd be careful and sensible about it. you are not better than icarus just because you have the benefit of his example.
