How can something like this evolve?
Here's an attempted explanation
I feel like being part of a setup that was created for this comment. That's more than I ever expected. Thank you very much.
Why did you use a code block for a quote?
I didn't do it on purpose, I just copied and pasted
Ah I see, should familiarize yourself with Lemmy’s markdown.
I know it but I haven't seen a good way of doing a long quote. Do I need the > on every single line? I've no idea why this time it put it into a code block, maybe something to do with my app (sync).

Right? Casual.
The same way every living thing evolve. Through millon or billion of years of mutations and natural selection.
