Repeating stupid shit doesn't make the stupid shit any less dumb. If anything, it makes them more idiotic for the duplication.

Someone asked if humans have gills. We do early in development as we shared an evolved development pathway with fish.

Guess what that means for "gamete types"?

Go on brainiac. Tell me. Which these creatures does not have exactly two gamete types.

During early stages of development, humans have ovotestes, and so they lack gametes just as much as they possess gills.

"Gamete type" isn't a meaningful term, either.

I am afraid it is. We see two very different type. Large, resource rich and immotile. Few are produced with large parental investment in them. Very small (a million times smaller), resource poor and motile. Parents invest almost nothing in each individual gamete.

"We see two very different type." Erudite!

I am happy to correct minor errors for you. But I now see you pointed out errors as you have no substantive response.

They asked it in a separate line of thinking that has nothing to do with platypuses and your inability to understand a joke or to apply basic biology to the what the platypus is.

I am messing with people who claim to understand biology. Anyone who understood biology would know about clades and what I was doing. There is an interesting thing to discuss there. But you and the others here are pretenders. Ideologically warped to reject actual science.

Clearly by pretending to be a person who doesn't understand biology or jokes for that matter.

The platypus was not intended just to be a joke. It was a stupidity offered as an insight under the guise of a joke.

The reference to it being a bird was a joke though, Lenny. You addressed it as being a serious assertion rather than addressing the underlying message that bringing up a platypus was meant to do.

Everyone has been triggered. They thought they knew biology. They do not.

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? And in plural?

Brian Kemper @bwkemper.bsky.social

And now you show a failure to understand the difference between "triggered" and "unbelieving exasperation." Triggered requires strong overwhelming emotional or physical reactions to your statements. Unless someone has been laughing uncontrollably to your skeets, no one has been triggered here.

Reminds of when MAGA thought they were were triggering liberals with their "Let's Go Brandon" chant when really all the liberals were doing was laughing and making fun of MAGA's cowardness to say "Fuck Biden" out loud like they were 7th graders.
