i'm probably gonna get canceled for this but whatever, it's how i feel...
i think evolution is bullshit, and here's why:
(thread)
if i place my hand on a hot stovetop, i instinctively pull my hand away - same as anyone else. it's built into human nature
scientists call this an instinct and claim it developed over millions of years, meaning that our so-called ancestors evolved this instinct
but how could this possibly be true if we didnt have stovetops millions of years ago? 🤔
They didn't have stovetops. But they did have heat. If your ancestors stuck their hands in fire and _didn't_ quickly pull it back, they would lose that hand.
It's the heat that triggers the instinct, not the stovetop. Which is why you can touch a cold stovetop without instinctively pulling back.
Ah - apologies for the misunderstanding. But yes, this is definitely why Poe's Law exists.
@ccc i appreciate the outreach, but this was definitely the joke. poe's law, though
