Mammals indeed suck, it's part of the definition

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

That's where I thought this was going.

Platypi don't!

[–] ThoGot@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

They slurp

Why does herpetology have such mammaries?

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Boobology, because we suck titties in infancy. I have nipples can't you milk me?

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well in that case…

"....In conclusion, further research is required."

Mammalogy has also been known as mastology, theriology, and therology.

Mammals DO suck, presumably on herpetology’s truly impressive mammae.

Herpetology

The study of... Herpes? 🤨

[–] Whats_a_lemmy@ponder.cat 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Reptiles, iirc

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 9 points 10 months ago

A herpetoligist collects reptiles. Someone who collects herpes is called your mom.

Do you qualify as a scientist if you're studying it involuntarily?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 10 months ago

"The difference between doing science and just screwing around is writing down your findings."

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Like Whats_a_lemmy said, reptiles and amphibians

Derpatology - the study of memes

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Memeology and memeography are the only true meme sciences, everything else is a derivative repost.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Sometimes I think I need my mamma-logy

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anybody interested in hOrnitology?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

Wow, get the hose! This user is really committed to the bit.

Please don’t stop. Hornyness is a gift.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

"Mammalogy" yeah you chose the correct wojak that's a weaksauce name
