I like posts like this. I am both entertained and informed!
Why is that guy so annoyed, though?
A person being passionate about something is a good thing!
Maybe he just knows about the ‘Just so’ fallacy and he’s suspicious of even good-faith science communication being presented as narrative? I know I have that problem sometimes.
Forgive my ignorance on this, but why don’t whales have obesity problems due to consuming so much krill?
Oh they got fat i.e. blubber but the water’s cold and they’re always swimming. Krill aren’t fatty enough that you’d run into high fat/sugar diet problems.
Some marketing executive: “Sugared Krill! Yes!”
So are blue whales no more than 100,000 years old?
Whales are surprisingly new.
Looked it up, 1.5 million years
What took you so long
