So snails can mate with any sex?
Snail sexes are clockwise, counterclockwise, and Jeremy
I have the urge to print, frame and hang this comment on the wall.
Most terrestrial snails are hermaphrodites, so it’s more like they can only mate with their own sex. But it’s a bit more complicated than that; they typically produce sperm earlier than they produce egg cells, to discourage self-fertilisation, so you could argue they start male and end female.
Youth to inject random new genes for testing and age to work with what’s tried and true …. Huh.
Damn, so that’s what it feels like to be left-handed…
Kinda yeah.
Not really. At all.
You sound like you’re left handed
Not having to worry about gender/sexuality (except asexuality I guess) in your dating pool and still failing
Not all asexuals are sex repulsed, it just means not being sexually attracted to others either all the time or some of the time (unless preconditions are met in the case of demisexuals or grey-asexuals). Us ace-spec people can and do have sex if we aren’t always repulsed, just not always for attraction reasons.
Hope this makes sense and helps!

So this is why Gezebelle Gaburgably likes snails so much
Also Jeremy is an asshole because he eats all the cookies, and that makes everyone hate him.
Don’t be like Jeremy.
King Jeremy the wicked rules his world
Jeremy spoke in class todayyy
Uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh
Aaaaaaaaarrrrr! Todaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaay!
Doesn’t it depend on whether you are looking at the left or the right side of the shell?
No, you’re thinking of clockwise vs counter clockwise.
As the shell spirals around itself, it does not create a flat disk. Rather, it creates a cone shape.
If Jeremy was pointed North, the point of his cone would point to the west, while most other snails would point east.
You can see it in the photo on this post.

How is this a science meme
Science because it’s a rare biological condition, called sinistral (as opposed to dextral) chirality. You also learn a new “fun science fact”: snails of opposite chirality cannot mate. (Only true for some species: for example, Amphidromus inversus has close to balanced dimorphic populations and can successfully mate both homo- and heterochirally, although hetero is more common).
Meme because it’s a funny and relatable thing on the internet. Memes are no longer just image macros and memorable phrases.
Using this loose logic, literally anything can be related to science and be called a science meme
It has a 99% upvote ratio. Granted, not everyone votes based on community fit but still, the crowd decided it belongs
I don’t believe crowds are inherently trustworthy or right. I can still question whether content belongs here or not, despite the crowd
I’m not preventing you from having or saying your opinion (not even really trying to change it) but this is how democracy works. If there’s enough offended purists like you, go create c/truesciencememes
Sir this isn’t a democracy, this is a moderated community
True but people’s votes are the judicial branch that interprets the rules. They can also choose to make another community when the dictator makes bad executive or legislative decisions (see !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone vs !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone). As I said, you’re free to create a rival community and if your views prevail, it can get big (especially if !sciencememes@mander.xyz ever suffers a crisis like having to change instances).
