@Betty https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2413164/ claims that all platypi are either xx*5 or xy*5 rather than there being like, as many options as you would expect from “ten sex chromosomes”

and also, some of their sex chromosomes look like the ones in birds, which is WILD

@Betty ooh tell us what you’ve discovered?

@platypus yeah thats one where we really shoulda just stuck with the original latin, calvaria makes it much easier to parse

@ljwrites maybe you accidentally double added one of the books, and it was supposed to mean they’d removed the extra copy of that book? idk v odd

@ljwrites @TarkabarkaHolgy yeah i thought they had already done that one?

@brainwane @Betty ah so i was half right

@brainwane @Betty my guess is mascot for the metropolitan museum of art

@platypus yeah i am not emotionally or physically prepared for snow and neither is my garden 😅

@platypus i am still in the “just glad its raining at all” phase

@Betty @biasto_bias @soph_sol poor Wen Qing 😂

@soph_sol @Betty wwx does NOT know he’s the drive behind their hookups but it’d definitely give him a whole lot of complicated feelings if he did

@soph_sol i feel like the funniest option is that wn and lwj start having sex for the purpose of working out their mutual horny wwx feelings and wwx finds out they’re hooking up and has like, a week straight of horny dreams about his two good friends mutual sex life he just discovered before he realizes MAYBE this is not straight behavior

@titania @pagrus yeah i only know about it bc when they first spun up the service there was a whole bunch of Discourse (i think they’d started out being opt-out instead of opt-in which is always a surefire way to piss fedi off lol)

@titania @pagrus not in house, but there are definitely some instances using https://fed.brid.gy/ to federate by proxy

@runpunkrun yeah i feel that! it can be frustrating

@Cyannin thats a…really odd reaction? i mean, i’m glad they were willing to take other kinds of precautions at least i guess, but “hey can you take a test i have already acquired” feels like one of the easiest possible asks

@akjcv@types.pl @Lady its your story, you can do whatever the fuck you want
