Oh yeah, i love greed island. It being an arc certainly keeps the novelty of the other world’s mechanics from getting old.
To make it work as a full series you gotta have a lot more substance though, because at some point that novelty will inevitably run out. And now instead of “exciting new world where everything is different”, it’s just a regular world we’re already used to. At that point you gotta have an actual compelling story to keep it going.
I still like the concept, it’s just that 90% of the stuff that uses said concept is terrible. I mean, Isekai is only an initial premise, you need A LOT more to make a good anime.
Interesting choice of character for this meme. OP is a true man/woman of culture.
Ugh, that’s so annoying. Every time windows updates i have to open the BIOS and put ubuntu first on the boot order so it doesn’t skip grub.
I Also have a drive that i can access on both linux and Windows and every so often Windows will make it inaccessible on Linux because it didn’t fully unmount the drive.
Me: This is a really simple task, i can finish it in like 30min, an hour tops.
My brain: Exactly why we can postpone it longer.
When i say they’re one of the closest, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re close, just that a lot of the other, more closely related ones, such as mammoths, are extinct. That said, the closest living relatives to elephants are actually manatees and dugongs.
These are still different animals that evolved to fill different niches though. They’re part of the clade Afrotheria, which is very, very diverse.
For more information on why this is such a diverse clade, i’d recommend Clint’s Reptiles’ video about it: https://youtu.be/bO2DpSJtFBo
All Birds are dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds. All dinosaurs are reptiles, but not all reptiles are dinosaurs. Crocodylians for example, are not dinosaurs 
I’m not sure about chickens specifically, but as you can see above, all birds are part of the theropod clade, which is the same clade as T-Rex, so they are indeed closely related.
Convergent evolution tends to happen when animals face similar environmental challenges, because sometimes a certain body plan is simply the most efficient way to tackle these challenges. For example, if animal A and animal B both live in the water, and they both need to swim fast to fill their niche, they’re likely going to evolve a similar streamlined body with dorsal and pectoral fins. Ex. Sharks, Dolphins and Ichthyosaurs.
My favorite example of how cladistics has changed our perception of animals is the elephant shrew.
We named it shrew because it’s obviously a shrew, right? And the elephant part was just a funny little joke because of his big snout, even though it obviously isn’t related to elephants! Well, it turns out that not only is it NOT a shrew, it is actually one of the closest living relatives to elephants! How crazy is that?
Okay, so the classic classification we all learned in school, that separates animals in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species, was created by a guy called Linneaus.
Now, back in Linneaus’ time, they didn’t know about evolution, much less genetics, so he tried to classify animals based on the physical similarities he could see. All animals with scales in the same group (reptiles), all animals who lactate in the same group (mammals), all animals with feathers in the same group (birds), and so on and so forth.
Nowadays, though, we can use genetics to determine more precisely how related different species of animals are to eachother, and so comes a new classification, that puts animals that evolved from the same ancestor together in the same group. Which is the cladistic classification
Now a lot of animals did fit more or less with the linnean classification, but a lot of them don’t. A lot of animals we thought were related are actually very distant genetically and only look similar due to convergent evolution, and a lot of the ones we thought had nothing to do with eachother turned out to be be really closely related.
Birds and reptiles are one such case. Both birds and the animals we more commonly consider as reptiles, are descended from the same ancestor and are currently considered part of the class Reptilia, which are all diapsids, meaning they have two openings on each side of the skull. Not only that, birds are descendants of a now extinct group of theropod dinosaurs called Archaeopteryx, which makes them living, breathing dinosaurs!
Had? They still do! Birds are literally dinosaurs. Theropods to be precise. The same clade as the iconic T-Rex.
I’m currently on my taxonomy obsession. Does anyone want to hear about how birds are actually reptiles?
From the creators of “Just don’t be sad”, here comes: “Just relax”
I guess it works if you include the TODO in “TO DO List”, which i also didn’t include at first.
I mean… When it comes to “glorious Nippon” i sort of get it, to a degree.
If you still find yourself being properly represented a character then more power to you, but a lot of times the addition of trans characters to anime is less due to respect and more fetishization. I would hardly call japan progressive for lusting over trans women while also calling them the T slur.
It doesn’t help that in some of these youtube videos, especially the tutorial/teaching kind, people seem to like to speak as slowly as humanly possible.
unless we’re also putting “Slave” and “Cotton” on the dictionary chopping block
Aren’t we though? At least when it comes to tech, Master-Slave terminology has been largely deprecated in favor of other terms.
until you know that you are ready to pay attention.
But that requires me to pay attention to my level of attention.
I’m playing through it for the first time rn too! Never too late to get into a classic like this.
Blasphemy!
