I will eat all the leaves on this tree. I will eat more leaves than I should, so that other giraffes... may die.

Everything is cyclical. Reposts will come and go. It is the circle of life on reddit.

Not sure if it was a coincidence, or if you're a master of humor and subtlety.

I have only been on reddit for like 3 weeks and I have seen this at least 3 times... :/

Scumbag giraffes

Biologists think that the best answer is Darwin's theory of evolution.

[–]Black_Opal 0 points1 point ago

But wait! In order to make an e-answer there must already exist a a, b, c and d-answer. The crossing of the earlier alternatives is therfore not only quite unneccesary but also completely incorrect!

This kid must watch the Andy Griffith Show.

Lamarck

[–]ArionVII 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope, this is Darwin.

Lamarck's would be something like short giraffes in the first panel, medium sized giraffes in the second panel, and tall giraffes in the final panel.

Wow, my bad.

We all make mistakes! Now you know more than you did. Because you made that mistake, you are STRONGER.

[–]enginedriver 1 point2 points ago

I knew this, but what're the other two? I guess Lyell is Charles Lyell? Not sure what he said, I thought he was primarily a geologist?

[–]ArionVII 3 points4 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep. Lyell's ideas on uniformitarianism, that natural laws are constant within the universe, suggest something like:

What has caused changes in the past continues to cause changes today, at the same rate. Change is slow and gradual, but steady and constant.

In the context of evolution, you can think of it as "natural selection is continuously occurring, always has been, is right now, always will be". Apparently Darwin had a big stiffy for his ideas, with good reason.

Malthus is a dick. No, I kid. His theories include extrapolations on population growth - that populations will increase until their environment is no longer capable of sustaining them, at which point they will fall either back to subsistence levels, or to zero.

Malthusian arguments are usually used when jerks get their panties all up in a bunch about how we've overpopulated the earth. These guys are fucking retarded, though, because that totally discounts human tool use and our capability to modify our environment to suit our needs. A common example you might run into is:

There was a bunch of reindeer dropped off on an island with no predators; their population exploded, and then they all starved to death because they ate all the grass. Earth is our island, are we the reindeer?

What they seem to forget, though, is that reindeer don't have birth control, agriculture, or demography. A strict Malthusian argument against overpopulation is insufficient to defend the idea.

I'd say not enough information.

  • Evolution can't happen in one generation.
  • We don't know if it was just a young giraffe.
  • Giraffe might have died for reasons other than starvation.

Actually, it couldn't have been starvation. Starvation wouldn't kill you and make you rot to bones before your family could even finish chewing their leaves.

I'd say it's best described by a biological super-weapon that is capable of targeting a single individual.

Except that's not why giraffes have evolved long necks....
