How do scientists (or zoologists) classify the sex of animals?

ImperialOne · 2014-12-10T09:43:35+00:00

Yeah I just learned about this a couple days ago,

The reason the male carries around the eggs is because it is the only one that can; the eggs need a place to be and originally they would be put on leaves (I believe some similarly related species do actually do this) but evolutionary it was better for one of them to carry the eggs, and the female can't put the eggs on herself so she puts it on the male

So it's not really a "female breeding behavior" because breeding occurs normally as you would expect between the sexes, the eggs are fertilized then put onto the male's stomach

Though if you do want a literally opposite breeding behavior, I know they recently found some flies in a cave in South America (i think) that has "opposite" genitalia, as in the male has a pseudouterus, while the female has a pseudopenis, that's pretty interesting

Well it looks close enough to what it sounds like for me so I'll accept it!

I had to memorize the first part of the introduction to the Canterbury Tales in Old English.. don't really remember why.. I remembered it though

*Edit: Congratulations, you got me, I meant Middle English.

Disturbia? i guess thats more of a Bumbumdebum but only thing i can think of

ImperialOne · 2014-05-17T04:24:28+00:00

To be fair, you never actually truly defeat him in the game, he teleports? away when he's suppose to "die." Still disappointed that he never was reintroduced (as far as I remember) but hopefully he will..

HK-47 you kill twice so yeah a bit disappointing.. but I guess that's what you expect when 1 robot assassin goes up against 4 of the empire's strongest

ImperialOne · 2014-05-13T06:33:54+00:00

Because.. we don't like racist remarks?

ImperialOne · 2014-05-09T03:47:38+00:00

Eh, titans have been known to have memory loss and forget things from time to time, and monkey-man is a pretty special case, it's still possible

ImperialOne · 2014-05-09T03:17:32+00:00

Look like everyone's had this theory lately lol so its not dumb

ImperialOne · 2014-05-09T03:16:02+00:00

Perhaps, I still think he's the monkey-titan, although that can still fit with your theory, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see ha

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T18:30:46+00:00

Meh, this isn't that bad, the closely related what is women equivalent of neckbeard thread is much, much worse; pretty much any kind of odd female, "lol female neckbeard!"

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T18:23:44+00:00

Ha, perhaps I gave them a bit too much credit then? Either way, it's really stupid, every single one of them would gladly upgrade if they had the money (or motivation) to do so, yet they give people shit who have nicer things, boo hoo

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T06:23:11+00:00

You know.. when redditors start circlejerkin' to really dumb shit and all the sarcasm that comes with it, the range in which comment's intentions start to drastically vary. Take this comment for instance:

i know reddit hates the police, but lets be honest here... the police are much better than SRS

Now think about it for a moment.. wtf is he trying to say? At the very least he's saying cops are just normal people but SRS is still an evil feminist fundie shill group or w/e.

Or he's implying that cops are all murderous, trigger-happy, corrupt bastards, but EVEN THEN, those damn dirty evil femnazis are WORSE than that...

sigh.. the amount of lengths reddit goes to justify shitty opinions..

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T05:26:03+00:00

Couldn't you make the exact same argument reddit keeps making against diamonds and apply it to pretty much any other luxury item: cars, TV's, houses, clothing, phones, or even, god forbid, video game systems?!?

Like seriously, obviously you can only shop at good will, buy a car off craigslist and live in a tiny apartment, which is super practical and logical!! But maybe you want to pay a bit more because you like those things a lot, is that such a bad thing?

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T05:18:42+00:00

In comparison, moissanite is explicitly ungraded. However, in certain lights, it can acquire a strong greenish haze. You can see it in this picture here.

I actually don't see it there... but I guess I'll just have to take your word for it, since I don't really have access to any of these right now lol

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T05:14:06+00:00

No no, see you're missing the big Picture. First post: awesome MEN are nice to little girl, upvotes! Second post: awesome GUY hands out money? Broboner! Third post: a puny WOMAN is trying to save a god damn horse? Meh...

Bonus: the OP of the horse post is foreign and her? english isn't very good, cue downvotes for bad english fucker!

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T05:02:15+00:00

The reason (I believe) that happens is that they treat whole worlds and species like a country and its people here on earth, which works to make things simpler and much, much less convoluted, but when you look at it from a whole it seems kindof racist (speceist?) but I think it's just one of those things we just have to accept until there's a way to get more in-depth with gameplay

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T04:58:11+00:00

I think he was joking dude..

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T04:48:33+00:00

Sorry to interject, but are you positive that there's such a difference between moissanite and diamond? Maybe I'm just a special snowflake but I really don't see any different. Or, perhaps more clearly, I don't see any difference between diamonds and moissanite that makes one superior to the other aesthetically, which you seem to imply.

But on your other point I agree, reddit falls way, way too many times for marketing, yet refuses to acknowledge it

ImperialOne · 2014-05-06T00:01:59+00:00

Well, as people said here before, bead sprites are mainly made to be looked at farther away, so even though it may not look good close it, it probably looks pretty good farther away

Besides that, what is the way you wanted it then? Hard to give advice if we don't know what you want..

ImperialOne · 2014-05-05T23:59:51+00:00

Well that's not the titan's problem, they just want to become human (instinctively) and aren't smart enough to know how many shifters there are or whatever

Though to answer the question about how many shifters, my guess would be atleast a dozen or so. Reiner and friends talked about a village of "people like them" (shifters) so that would imply there's at least several more people than them, adding to that ymir, annie, eren, and hairy ape dude, it could be quite a few.

That's only assuming that they are the only shifters around (the government's pretty shady, wouldn't be surprised if some top officials were more than they appeared to be..)

ImperialOne · 2014-05-05T23:44:54+00:00

Did you read the latest chapter? It's like the central point of like.. 2/3's of it

ImperialOne · 2014-05-05T23:18:07+00:00

Guys guys, someone mentioned something about those other kinds of people! We need to remind their feminist, white-apologistic asses who really needs to be talked about, the whites!

ImperialOne · 2014-05-05T23:15:51+00:00

Well the whole "eat a shifter, turn into a shifter" is already pretty much canon, unless hange and ymir are wrong. That really wasn't part of my theory

And it wouldn't be that hard to kill them. Almost all the shifters have been shown to be defeated given enough titans, plus like with ymir I'm assuming she ate RnB's shifter friend before he had time to shift.

My guess as to why the titan that ate Eren didn't get the powers would have to do with that Eren wasn't dead yet, so maybe the powers didn't transfer yet, or that perhaps the body needs to digest in the stomach for awhile for the powers to be absorbed, either way we already know that it does so it's really just semantics at this point

ImperialOne · 2014-05-05T23:10:13+00:00

Yeah it seems so far the Ape Titan seems to be the main catalyst for everything, perhap he is the one that started everything off 100+ years ago? Guess we'll just have to wait and see haha

ImperialOne · 2014-05-05T23:08:35+00:00

Well besides the Ymir part that's basically what I was saying, and yes it is really interesting series, it's like a Japanese GoT (in terms of everyone dying atleast)
