    Kermit’s froghood baffles me, mainly due to the neck frill. I was down a Muppet history rabbit hole recently and realized that he was originally just named “Kermit”, and didn’t become “Kermit the Frog” for some years. So he was probably designed as a frill-necked lizard of some kind and got retconned into a frog. Mystery solved, right? Well no, because then I realized he got the frill the same time they started calling him a frog.

    I was so distraught I turned to Muppet Wiki, which it turns out has an entire section on his collar. It’s an article of clothing. 😐

    Yup. I don’t understand why people are talking like Harris isn’t also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that’s a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

    Not sure about hornets, but I know wasps eat a lot of herbivorous bugs like aphids and caterpillars.

    A lot of people see eating caterpillars as one of the “bad” things wasps do, but population control is necessary if we want crops.

    People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isn’t a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.

    I remember seeing a ton of “archeologists: tHeY’rE jUsT fRiEnDs” comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.
