Etymologists crying and shaking right now at the thought of Antarctica (meaning: without bears) gaining the one animal it's not supposed to have
I read that as entomologist for a second and was really confused
Figured it had something to do with fleas
This comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I had no idea the arctic is called that because it was the Greek for 'of the bear' because they used Ursa Major to guide them north. And the the arctic is the most northerly point.
Fucking wild. Mind blown.
Wdf how are we just learning this?! Can’t they teach it with the continent names??
And it's a hilarious coincidence that it resulted in the southern most point being Antarctica, as it just happens to be the only continent without bears.
I'm not saying this will definitely reverse the Earth's polarity and doom all life on earth, but do we really want to take that chance?!
Looks at earth
Well, it probably won't get much worse, and if it does it'll at least be interesting to see.
