Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

Humans ARE apes. Also fish. Fuck paraphyletic groups.

A paraphyletic group is a group of any size and systematic rank that originated from a single common ancestor, but does not – as opposed to a monophyletic group – contain all descendants from this ancestor. The ancestral species of this group is thus also the ancestor of one or more other groups

Yeah. Fuck 'em.

We are all bacteria on this blessed day.

Not really, we're eukaryotes. We share a common (unknown) ancestor, but bacteria split off into their own monophyletic group I'm pretty sure.
