“I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees”
I’m going to look for some kitschy artwork at the thrift store and make this into a “Live Laugh Love” style wall decoration.

“So, what didn’t he hate?”, I hear you ask.
Worms. He loved worms. The man could watch them for hours.

Darwin was famously seasick, but also wanted to really look at birds and shit. Bad combination.

Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.

It’s hip to fuck bees.

He sounds like he needs to take a cold shower.
Blade9732@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Good News! Hot showers weren’t common place with non royalty for another 50 years. Likely his only choice of shower was a cold shower.
banazir@lemmy.ml 6 days ago
I was actually making a joke about the hydrotherapy he used to treat his condition. It involved getting doused with 900 liters of cold water. I don’t think anyone caught my joke.

I am very poorly today.
Poorly what?
Poorly everything.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 days ago

Missed opportunity to include his praise of inbreeding to produce “superior stock”.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
What?
No.
Darwin married his first cousin, yeah…that was the social norm at the time, not long ago.
But he hypothesized and later proved that the inbreeding was a direct cause of his children’s poor health.
I wouldn’t say he was a fan of inbreeding, just a reluctant participant who eventually warned us of its dangers.

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
