Aristotle? /s

Went down the rabbit hole on this one. I think I side with

Some scholars argue that although Sappho would not have understood modern conceptions of sexuality, lesbianism has always existed and she was fundamentally a lesbian.

We sure do like our tribalism though... crazy homo sapiens. I got love for all.

Anyone got a best of Sappho recommendation for the casual sophist?

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 5 months ago

Was her name sappho? So sapphic... Crazy

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

What she wouldn't have understood is our conception of heteronormativity.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago

Because she never got her snatch snacked on by omnisexual enby. It's like trying to make a 9th century hermit listen to death metal

Ya never know with the inverted bull curve of IQ in here

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm trying to work out how an inverted bell curve would work. Are you proposing the existence of negative IQ?

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago

I think they mean that the curve is high on the edges and dips in the middle.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 5 months ago

Definitely a lot of people high and on edge here

[-] tja@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Bull curve?

I only know Bell curve.
