You think it's funny? Do REALLY think it is funny at all? Do you know how much of a mental struggle it is to enjoy watching your hotwheel go down an embankment as a kid and realize you will have to go all the way down to pick up your hotwheels and try again? Do you understand the adjact fear of seeing your Deora II hit a bit of grit on the way down the slope and skid on the tarmac? Hearing it ding and scrape as the enamel is chipped away? Or spinning one of its wheels and realize it's buckled? No, of course you don't. You don't understand or appreciate the sisyphean struggle or values that playing with toy cars like hotwheels instill into you as a kid. No matter how many scuffed paintjobs on your car or scuffed knees you get from going up or down that sidewalk as a kid you keep going because the spectacle of a toy as simple as a hotwheels speeding down like a hot rod is as pure as you can possibly get to childlike joy. It only lasts 5 seconds, but it is 5 seconds worth the plasters on the leg or elbow to relive again and again.

My ancestors who raced hoops as kids smile on me now as I race my hotwheels OP, can you say the same?

Noooo you need to give animals serious scientific names that describe their unique characteristics, such as spider#45298 having two more hairs on their third leg pair compared to the three other genera with 50 species each that look identical to it.
>>
>>5086357
>t. Sôyfaces at names like Chilicola charizard
>>
>>5086357
This but unironically
>>
>>5086357
Funny how these "scientists" will say "science is not that serious bro" if you call their epic marvel references retarded but will suddenly start foaming at the mouth if you dare to go against the current zeitgeist.
>>

Probably because giving an animal a silly name is not the same as denying climate change or the efficacy of vaccines, retard.
>>
>>5086478
Not all vaccines are safe or effective. A technology is not a god.

I was going more for the shitflinging within the paleocommunity, the native plant purist cult, gamefish stocking changing entire ecosystems but its okay because the government says its okay, "invasive" species being used as a scapegoat to get more funding, the government taking wolves off the endangered list, etc.

People will just submit to any authority without actually thinking why?
>>
>>5086332
Well I think it's funny
>>
>>5086332
I thought only the second name in these cases could be random stuff. First time seeing a whole genus with a goofy name
>>
>>5086357
"Hotwheels" is not a correctly formed generic epithet. Hotwheelsia or Hotwheelsella would be acceptable
>>
What meme name would (You) give to a genus/species?
>>
>>5086549
Zoomerus 6-7icus
