Its a 6 sided bear, the peak of the polygonal phylogeny.

Monomouse

Duodugong

Traye-aye

Quadferret

Pentacoyote

Hexbear

Heptaherpeton - this is the furthest we've discovered in the polygonal phylogeny but research indicates the likely existence of an octorca as well

Octoria are scientifically impossible, the grazing territory requirements alone for a sustainable breeding colony would be immense. Any reports of them in the wild are either misidentified pairs of quadferrets copulating, or hoaxes perpetuating the psuedoscience.

quadferrets copulating

That's where you're messing up. Those are pentacoyotes, not quadferrets. The contact side between two polygonimals mating is actually obscured, so the actual number of sides in a copulation configuration is the sum of the sides of all involved polygonimals - 2. Therefore the octorca could not be two mating quadferrets, but could be two pentacoyotes, or a chain of duodugongs.

Yes, googling offers nothing, but I'm probably just being goofed on

Try the Polygoogle. The regular non-euclidian google has a history of censorship when it comes to polygonal phylogeny

I didn't even think to recommend Poogle. Thank you!

I still think about this thread on a near daily basis 👍

Think they’re way overhated, yes some of the users can troll a bit too much but they’re generally fine and I appreciate that they help stomp out fascist, racist, and anti-trans rhetoric on Lemmy.

I honestly have no idea what they stand for. Their posts are so confusing and non coherent. I'm sure a lot of it is because sarcasm doesn't work with text unless you have context. But without context, all it comes across as is a bunch of trolls who just love to hate

I couldn't care less about them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They’re a left wing group that uses a lot of sarcasm and trolling. It can be a bit off putting to most but a lot of it comes from the fact that most people don’t bother reading or looking beyond US propaganda so it can be frustrating talking to people like that. Personally I try to come at things a bit more openly but I can understand the frustration of dealing with people that don’t put in much effort to understand the nuances of geopolitical topics.

People who think being a jackass is a form of activism. That's all you really need to know.

I have seen so many thread saying how bad that instance is but every time I ask for links proving how bad they are I have never see anything worth the hate.

Can you provide some examples?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, that's because the mods of said threads already had to delete all the bullshit they posted once they "accidentally found this on all" and then descent on it like locusts (but they're totally not brigading!!!1!)

Here's one of their mods:

and guess what

Kill yourself, bigots. I will not be civil to those who view me as lesser. I view you as lowly as you do me.
