alien: So what did you specialise in?
human: adaptation.
alien: Adap- you can't do that. Adaptation is meant for the PROCESS of specialisation. You can't SPECIALISE in adaptation.
human: Sure I did. I'm actually the apex predator in every surface inch of my native planet.
alien: And every species you classify as human is capable of producing viable young? Where would the mixed-adaptation offspring even live?
human: Anywhere they want, really. External, genetic climate modifications are largely just for the aesthetics these days.
alien: What about temperatures? Could a human adapted to the coldest climate just move to the hottest region, or vice versa, and survive?
human: Oh yeah they do that a lot. They'll need to be taught how to properly equip proper tools, clothing and shelter maintenance in order to keep themselves to tolerable temperatures, but yeah.
alien: Tools and maintenance?
human: Yeah, there's machines that can make hot air cold, and cold air hot, so while outdoor survival is only possible temporarily, it's possible to make housing structures that are comfortable in any climate.
alien: I don't... I don't think that counts as "adaptation". That's not what natural adaptation means.
human: Actually humans don't consider it "natural" either. We kind of consider ourselves separate from other nature.
alien: Well that sure explains SOME human behaviour, but... That's not natural adaptation. That's not how any of this works.
human: Nah it works quite well. We've specialised in making tools and machines for adaptation.
alien: That's not how it works.
human: Nuh-uh. Is too.
alien: Are you SURE you're not specialised in being exhausting to deal with?
human: Well actually I'm a pursuit predator as well, so literally yes.

I don’t understand how on TV, people can break into homes and immediately find bank statements, passports and super important documents. If someone tried that at my place it would be “I’m sure she keeps her important stuff in her desk. No, wait, this draw is full of pens that don’t work. Aha! This box looks important! Oh, never mind. It’s full of cigarette lighters. She doesn’t even smoke!”

Hi! We're introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They're a steal at $7.99—that's cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Get yours here!

I got a tumblr, it really was quite great
I blog about a lot of things, but mostly what I ate.
I thought it was a sweet gig, it really was quite cushy.
Then they went and banned me, ‘cause all I ate was pussy.

“What is it that the child has to teach?
The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.
And the child is right.”
— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman
