You already know what you call a fly with no wings
A walk
Are horseflies a lie because they don’t eat horses?
Without a lie they’d just be horsefs
Daaaaad
No it’s because they take a horse sized chunk out of you when they bite you
Can somebody explain the fruit thing? I’ve seen fruit flies demolish fresh fruit. The amount of yeast biomass on them must be negligible at that point. Do the eggs/larvae spread the yeast before they start eating?
The fruit flies you’ve seen eating fresh fruit are probably Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing fruit fly). Most (all?) other Drosophila species (including the model organism Drosophila melanogaster) only feed on rotting fruit. Though they’ll consume the sugars too, not just the microorganisms. So standard lab diets include sugar along with yeast and often cornmeal.
There are also some more distantly related flies that feed on fresh fruit and are commonly called fruit flies, eg Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly)
I’m sure the meme is apocryphal, and it’s not entirely correct. Fruit flies do eat yeast, yes…but they also eat the sugars in the fermenting fruit, not just the microorganisms causing fruit decay. I don’t know about the larvae at all, though.
I wish I had the time and money to create crimes against nature.
What other lies have we been told? Does time not fly like an arrow?
Nah, it just trips into the future
Trippin’, trippin’, trippin’
Emperor penguins and king penguins are not descendants of any royal bloodlines and do not have an understanding of monarchical governments.
What the fuck…
Better yet, they aren’t actually penguins - they were just called that because they resembled real penguins.
Which are literally dead today, because they dared live close to humans.

Poor dumb bastards.
Gray Knights have been dispatched to your location, please stand by.
Awesome, this daemon infestation on my computer (Gentoo of course) is really starting to annoy me.
Don’t even mention macaroni penguins…so disappointing.
Are you suggesting they’re not good with cheese?
Not only that, they are completely and entirely noodleless.
Ha! That’s a good one. You almost had me for a second.
Someone tell this guy about Jeremy bearimy and timey wimey space stuff
A time, B time, and lunch time.

When we’re having fun.
A man in a very tight suit with a blue box once told me it’s more wibbly-wobbly.
Was he gender, species, and time fluid?
All the fluids. Except water on Mars, he didn’t like that one bit.
Earthlings don’t eat Earth either. They’re still Earthlings.
Sperm whales don’t eat sperm.
Mayflies don’t eat May or any other month.
W wait a s second! What do sperm wales eat? Have I been pointlessly jacking off into the ocean for decades??
Earthlings don’t eat earth because “earth” isn’t something to be eaten. Sperm whales don’t eat sperm because sperm is (usually) not something to be eaten.
Fruit, however, is supposed to be eaten, and by many, many animals. By calling something a fruit fly, the expectation for most people would be that its diet consists mainly of fruit
Or ya know, that they’re usually found hanging around near fruit.
Dobsonflies don’t even eat Dobson!
What a world
Speak for yourself, I rather like potatoes, or as the French call them ‘pomme de terre’ which if I recall would literally translate as ‘apple of earth’.
I always felt bad for em, we either drowned them in alcohol or froze them. I also felt guilt boiling the ecoli I spent time genetically engineering (in a genetics uni lab)
THE POWER!
That’s what liberals want us to be
LiberalsAll authoritarians left AND right. Please learn your political compass so you can have grown up conversations.
That was an unrecognized attempt to reference a meme “future liberals want”
Please calibrate your joke meter so you can have normal conversations.
That’s what we are already tbh
