Instructions not clear. All I got was goatse and a stinky after taste.

2/10

Japanese and Mexican for the sake of the question. It's what I grew up eating, and I hate the idea of being without my familiar comfort foods.

Truthfully though, I love eating too much to limit myself regionally or to just two countries. There's so much I haven't tried.

"fetid" is great descriptor. It to me feels more visceral than "rancid".

I think I disagree with "grape" being the worst though. Artificial grape flavor is the most honest one, be it medicine or soda. It's the distant cousin that shows up to the wedding or funeral in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops; it's the octagenerian emeritus faculty member that shows up to seminar and sits in the front row and sleeps through the presentation; it's the Kazaa (or Morpheus or Limewire) file labeled "Blink182.mp3.exe"—you look at it and you know exactly what you're gonna get.

The anatomical answer is sagitally down the midline.

Since it's published, it's already been reviewed. Someone might re-analyze the data or recreate the study though.

I felt that in the bone. Postdoc life is one foot getting ready to move and the other foot dreading every decision that led to the thought "A PhD is a good idea"

It was a good idea, but holy shit is it all sorts of miserable.

It doesn't just feel like public trash cans are rare, they are rare. In 1995, cultists hid sarin containers in public trash cans and trains in and near a Tokyo subway station. One conclusion that was reached from the incident was to get rid of public trash cans and shift society toward disposing of trash at home.

Do lizard-people have hemipenes and cloacas?

Adding to this: XX and XY works for mammals, but not for other vertebrates (fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians). Birds and reptiles have Z and W chromosomes, and unlike in mammals where females are homozygotes, males in these groups are homozygotes. Some reptiles have temperature dependent sex determination, where ambient temperature above some value will produce males or females (depends on species). Some reptiles are composed entirely of females.

Some fish will straight up change sexes depending on age and male-female ratio in a social group.

In other groups it's not even different chromosomes but simply copy number of specific genes.

Plants can do all sorts of whacky things like produce seeds and pollen in the same individual.

Fungi are an entirely different cluster fuck because they have mating types which are not simple binaries.

Eukaryotic sex determination isn't a binary and it isn't even a nicely categorizable spectrum. It's a grab-bag of whatever doesn't perma-fuck your genome.

Source: me, I'm a biologist. Though admittedly I work on animals so my understanding of fungi and plant stuff is fuzzy at best.

What the fuck is a sewer slide?
