So I just spent twenty minutes standing out in the front yard of my In-Laws house being bitten by mosquitoes and getting my sandals soaked becuase THERE IS A FAMILY OF FOXES DENNING UNDER THE HOUSE AND THEY HAVE NO LESS THAN FIVE FAT ADORABLE LITTLE BABY KITS AND THEY WERE ALL ROLLING AROUND AND PLAYING ON THE LAWN AND I COULD WATCH THEM FROM THE PORCH EVEN THOUGH THE SPRINKLERS WERE ON AND IT’S THE MOST ADORABLE THING i’VE EVER SEEN GOODBYE EVERYONE I HAVE TRANSCENDED TO THE BEST PLANE.
For some reason, when biologists want to describe “the assemblage of morphological features shared among many members of a phylum-level group” we say bauplan. Which is German for “body plan.” But even if you don’t speak German you say “bauplan” anyway. So this is a very hilarious Social Media Discourse from someone who has forgotten that the word “bauplan” is an instant giveaway that you are actually a biologist and that makes it fantastic it’s like when robots try to pretend that they’re human but better
