That fails to consider that if people speak of “an invasive species,” they’re almost certainly using the botanical definition of that word, which boils down to “a species not native to the ecosystem where the speaker as found it,” and where native species are species that exist within an ecosystem without ever having had humans show up in said ecosystem.

Just because you like that plant being there does not mean said plant stops being invasive.

And if an organism has existed in an ecosystem for millennia, long before any human ever set foot there, then it doesn’t matter how annoying it is, it is a native species.

I’m certain a fair number of people have learned some basic chemistry from Dr. Doe…

I’m pretty sure that invasive === NOT native.

Chuck Testa in 2026. Who’d’ve thought…

Perhaps we could make an argument for carcinization applying to naming as well? What if anything we can’t place could end up getting named something related to crabs?

“It’s 16:59 and some seconds and I need to run in less than a minute! We’ll call it a somethingsomething crab! Now I need a beer and I’ve got a train to catch, see y’all Monday!”

Absolutely bl- cursed. Though I probably would have suggested someone make it if it wasn’t here yet.

The abstract suggests that happiness is a statistical anomaly, and in its final lines they suggest that “One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”

Valid. I checked again, and:

Known risks to the protocol include:

• Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: “Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”

So I guess that’s what’s happening here

Another example of such an attack

Nerds making joke standards is nothing unique.

I had a joke about gravity, but I think it’ll let you down and it may fall flat.
