I interpret It more like you are caressing your own work and being proud of it.

Oh, that does indeed sound bad :( Thanks for the answer!
Is using plastic waste necessarily disadvantageous to them? Maybe they choose to us some plastic containers over mollusc shells? (Serious question)
@fossilesque Your chance to replace the legs of one person with the Saddam Hussein figure...
Well, they've been evolved to serve the purpose of injecting their DNA/RNA. So of course they look like they serve that purpose? Your argument is also used by creationists to somehow squeeze their god into all of this by saying "this looks too perfect, this must have been made by something external, i.e. god"...
Haha, I'm not from the US and have missed out on how Saddam Hussein is related to that shape? For me it seemed a bit random to have a mummy shape without any letter associated in a data is beautiful post. What's this about though?
E: ah yes, found it: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/saddam-husseins-hiding-place
I feel like this was written as a self-roast by someone in neuroscience. If it is written by someone outside of the field I would definitely agree with you though...
Didn't see it for a good while and was thinking that this was some commentary on why hardly any snow leopards are around anymore because of mass extinctions, habitat loss and climate change...
Any of the systems is better if you have an intuitive understanding of it. I don't know what 107 F would feel like, just as you don't know what 42°C feels like. But it's not a thing where one is inherently better than the other...
Well, female and male are defined based on their gonads. So yes, these are females because they produce egg cells. There are also animals that have more than two sexes or have sexes that change over time, or that are even weirder. But in all these cases, how we classify their sex is by their gonads.
Philosophically speaking, sex as a category is just a way of abstraction for us to better understand the world. But it is just that, a simplified view on the world, a social construct.
Not sure how aggressive the wasps are in the US, but for Europe this isn't really true. We have a nest of European wasps (similar to yellowjackets) in our garden and they really couldn't care less about us humans. I can stand in their flight path and they just fly around me. But I'm also not as easily panicked as other people so that certainly helps...
