That's not even all of them, he also said "I hate a barnacle as no man ever did".

charles darwin hated those too apparently
oh weird, the link keeps getting mangled when I paste it.
Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid
Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid
the space is still there though?
https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/?docId=letters%2FDCP-LETT-3272.xml
this works for me?
EDIT: This is bizzare. the forward slash between letters and DCP keeps getting replaced by %2F
does it though? it looks like your link has the same issue as mine
Didn't he have the most amount of trouble with his hammock? I recall from the Dollop episode on him this dude couldn't get in our out of the damn thing like ever
Which Charles Darwin are you? I'm 23 jan 1863 Charles Darwin.
11 March 1958 clockin in. Hate me some variety
Bold to pick a date 70 years after his death. In that case, I'm 1993 Darwin, rolling in his grave at the launch of the Darwin Awards.
Hahahaha opps the fartographer got me
And yet, you write. Curious.
I have a timed close-book exam today so I am of course 1 Oct 1861
I'm not happy about it.
I'm 10 of September, 1860
Sounds like a regular programmer today.
Actually he sounds like a top-tier programmer today
I'm detecting a theme here.
Generally, he was not a fan of things
Darwin was famously seasick, but also wanted to really look at birds and shit. Bad combination.
Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.
I am very poorly today.
Poorly what?
Poorly everything.
Fuck bees though.
Dumb bees and their dumb honey.
You leave the bees alone or prepare to catch some hands my good sir and/or madame. Wasps can get fucked tho
It's hip to fuck bees.
Big Darwin mood
Missed opportunity to include his praise of inbreeding to produce "superior stock".
What?
No.
Darwin married his first cousin, yeah...that was the social norm at the time, not long ago.
But he hypothesized and later proved that the inbreeding was a direct cause of his children's poor health.
I wouldn't say he was a fan of inbreeding, just a reluctant participant who eventually warned us of its dangers.
