      A meme doesn’t have to be funny. ;)

        Shouldn’t it be transformative in some way? Like if someone edited it and then submitted it would feel more like a meme to me.

          Nah, replication is enough, shows interest. This meme was stolen, thus it lives on as a vehicle. The intention here is to simply get people interested in the world around them. Not sure what the original goal was. This one just has a little more .jpg than the last. I’ve seen variants of this one, regardless. This is an old one.

            So…

            Uh…by your logic, every single image online that’s NOT original content, is a meme?

            No wonder you made yourself moderator lmao… you’ve no idea what a meme is so of COURSE you would be the mod ugh. Thanks reddit2.0

            Linking to a web definition of MEME to shut people up, is the most boomer shit I’ve ever seen, and I’m a boomer.

              Block, report or read the rules and ask the moderators. You’re wasting your own time and everyone else’s, I found this an enjoyable meme and so did many others.

                I feel like blocking the user because I don’t think they’re post fits a community is a pretty fucking drastic action dude. Also I never blocked moderators of communities that I enjoy because the system with moderators and user blocks is kind of fucky on here. I don’t think is right to block a moderator.

                Edit: cry harder babes it’s OK:( the scary man can’t hurt you from here

    Some of that is controversial as far as I know. And the pseudopupils are an optical Artifact since every single eye has its own opening.

    I loved this graphic. Great content, something I’d never wondered about and just today realized I’m not curious enough.

    Thanks op or bot whichever.

      Bear in mind the same ecosystem produced the Sarlacc.

      Which apparently I know how to spell without checking.

    Chinchillas have vertical slit pupils despite being small herbivorous rodents. There are definitely quite a few exceptions.

    W-shaped pupils likely also help cuttlefish see color and polarization of light, despite not having any cone cells in their retinas!
