Funnily enough in Canada we have mars bars instead of the US milky way and 3 musketeers instead of the international milky way. Mars doesn’t sell anything called a milky way here

this looks like writing in the large seal script

this is cuckoo

Just like starfish!

Echinoderms:

I can tell the jellies are on the right and that they’re in the genus Aurelia. Seems like a skill issue

That’s what makes them fluids

gases are fluids tho…

The buffalo thing pisses me off the most. Entire cultures are defined by that animal and it’s incredibly significant to the history of the prairies and the continent as a whole. So it seems to me pretty disrespectful to go to these people and go “um actually what you’ve been calling this animal for centuries is wrong actually because Linnaeus or whatever”

Yes, popularized by C

It’s worth noting that a number of languages comparable C in use case and performance (including its predecessors COBOL, Fortran and ALGOL) start indexing at 1 just fine because they have proper array types and don’t make heavy use of pointers poking and peeking wherever they like (eg by using references instead).

Decoupling indices from memory offsets doesn’t get in the way of performance and actually often allows better optimization because the compiler knows you aren’t sharing pointers between arrays or some other shenanigans; see Fortran, the GOAT of fast array processing. This also allows improved type safety and thus memory safety; see index types in Ada/SPARK and the fact that it’s the only ‘legacy’ language that’s gotten comprehensive compile-time memory safety analysis (though the latter is moreso from the less willy-nilly pointers in general)

I’m with that guy. C was a mistake

For anyone who wants to do this

The fruit flies you’ve seen eating fresh fruit are probably Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing fruit fly). Most (all?) other Drosophila species (including the model organism Drosophila melanogaster) only feed on rotting fruit. Though they’ll consume the sugars too, not just the microorganisms. So standard lab diets include sugar along with yeast and often cornmeal.

There are also some more distantly related flies that feed on fresh fruit and are commonly called fruit flies, eg Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly)

There’s a bunch of species of cactus (family Cactaceae) but only Rhipsalis baccifera is found in the old world. Even weirder is that it’s not just found in the Americas and sub-Saharan Africa but also Sri Lanka for some reason.
