    More evolution facts insipired by shapesalad.

    Herbivorous animals actually need twice as much sleep as carnivores, because they have to spend half of their sleeping time keeping watch with one eye open. That's why you'll often see cows and other herbivores napping during the day - they're catching up on all the sleep they missed while keeping an eye out for danger at night!
    They need extra time to dream up new ways to outsmart carnivores who are always trying to catch them for dinner.

    • It's also why their mating lasts mere seconds as it's a vulnerable time when a predator could potentially get a 2 for 1 lunch option.shapesalad

    • Science isn’t a belief system.monospaced
    • That's why I don't believe in science.palimpsest
    • Science doesn't require your belief. It progresses regardless of what you believe in. Do try to keep up ;)monospaced
    • That's why I don't believe in science.
      Do get hooked on phonics :-*

    • I would also love to hear more of your theories on evolution, monospaced.palimpsest
    • They’re just tired from all the chewing.scarabin
    • Joke all you want, "external chewing" is the next stepdrgs
    • In the future we’ll all be buff and have no chin like andrew tate. Or a proboscis for slurping nutrient slurryscarabin
    • There is a single theory of evolution and all scientific data supports it. I don’t propose any other theory or theories of my own.monospaced
    • "It’s a very strong theory that cooking was one of the direct causes of our punctuated evolution as a species."palimpsest
    • yawn, I know you’re just baiting me, but I’ll bite. There are different meanings to the word theory and we are using both. You know this.monospaced
    • And our species evolving into modern humans isn’t THE theory of evolution. Don’t conflate them.monospaced
    • I hope someone as scientifically literate as yourself sees why claiming that any behaviour in a species is a by-product of evolution is unnecessary and stupid.palimpsest
    • And the use of punctuated as an adjective in our evolution just went over my head. Please educate me.palimpsest
    • Daddy.palimpsest
    • Since we're being petty. There is a single theory OF evolution. But one can propose multiple theories ON evolution.palimpsest

    • Yes you’ve been quite petty from the onset. Carry on.monospaced
    • Play the tape back...
      Me and shape were having fun until you came in with your dumb "Science isn’t a belief system." out of nowhere comment.

    • Now the light's on you.
      So go on and educate us.

    • Plays on words, double-entendres, and banter all just sail right over your head, don't they, mono? I've never seen anyone take things so literally as you.Continuity
    • I don't know what your problem is but I would help you if I could.palimpsest

    • If anyone here is familar with city rabbits, you've probably seen one just sitting in the middle of the street and thought "fucking dumbass".garbage
    • Turns out those dumb bunnies in the middle of the street have actually evolved this behavior. The bunny in the street is the mama..garbage
    • ..and she is willfully sitting out on nightwatch as an obvious distraction from any predators, because she's got a burrow nearby.garbage
    • My comment wasn’t out of nowhere. This thread started with the statement that science isn’t a belief system. I’m just staying on track. Keep up.monospaced
    • And of course punctuated evolution is a thing. I didn’t make it up.monospaced
    • bruh you good?doesnotexist
    • Lol, why is this old thread back. And also can we talk about street bunnies? Mother's Day is coming up.garbage
