        Shouldn’t it be transformative in some way? Like if someone edited it and then submitted it would feel more like a meme to me.

          Nah, replication is enough, shows interest. This meme was stolen, thus it lives on as a vehicle. The intention here is to simply get people interested in the world around them. Not sure what the original goal was. This one just has a little more .jpg than the last. I’ve seen variants of this one, regardless. This is an old one.

            So…

            Uh…by your logic, every single image online that’s NOT original content, is a meme?

            No wonder you made yourself moderator lmao… you’ve no idea what a meme is so of COURSE you would be the mod ugh. Thanks reddit2.0

            Linking to a web definition of MEME to shut people up, is the most boomer shit I’ve ever seen, and I’m a boomer.

    Chinchillas have vertical slit pupils despite being small herbivorous rodents. There are definitely quite a few exceptions.

    W-shaped pupils likely also help cuttlefish see color and polarization of light, despite not having any cone cells in their retinas!
