      Whales came onto land, said fuck this and walked right back into the sea. It is widely regarded as a good decision in whale culture.

    More importantly, actual evolution doesn’t change the individual. The “evolution” in Pokémon and Digimon should be called “development”.

      That’s actually what it’s called in German. Never thought about the implications of the “X evolved to Y” screens.

      And would have avoided so much pearl-clutching from right-wing fundamentalist busybodies.

      God damn were the 90s stupid.

        Unlike the following two and a half decades, which were filled to the brim with meaningful conservative talking points.

          At least we call bullshit now! Until the debacle of the W administration, the very premise of religious objections was nigh unquestionable. They had to move on to high-test crazy because nobody was buying the old brand.

    Yo, I have chickens. The idea of a chicken the size of a pony is terrifying enough. One the size of a t-rex is nightmare inducing.

    I love ours, they’re pets that get spolied and coddled. But they are vicious. Our rooster caught a little bluebird, stomped it and ate its head. Took all of thiry seconds. Our hen goes after bugs and just beats them until they’re tender and juicy before swallowing.

    They would 100% eat us given a chance. Like, at the size they are now, you would not want to fall into a coma long enough for them to get hungry.

    I adore the total lack of surprise for the ‘fridge with machine gun’ in the comments here. We all watched Digimon, apparently.

    Don’t forget the part where actual evolution requires a lot of sex and dying…
