Damuna: there are better images which look much more like that cat
Damuna: i was simply showing that canadian lynxes do look like it
Damuna: or, rather, it looks like a canadian lynx
Angry White Guy: of course, it would still be a cat
Damuna: not a domestic cat, though, which would be the general understanding of "cat" and the one implied by the image demonstrating what a cat is
Damuna: ITT we overanalyse stupid questions
Angry White Guy: thats what academia is for!
Angry White Guy: of course, the counterexample to a cat was a penguin. In this case i think a lynx can be more described as a cat than not a cat
Damuna: it was an emperor penguin chick
Damuna: THE DETAIL IS IMPORTANT
Angry White Guy: any other bird would have the same meaning
Damuna: NO IT WOULDN'T
Damuna: from a genetic standpoint, there is a difference in the percentage of how much of their genetic make-up is exactly the same
Angry White Guy: true, but as there was only one counterexample, we can surmise that such detailed interpretation is neither expected nor necessary
Damuna: such detailed interpretation is always necessary
Damuna: otherwise we would not be having this conversation
Angry White Guy: well then, what would you think the inclusion of the emperor penguin chick means as opposed to, say, any other kind?
Damuna: well
Damuna: an emperor penguin can hold its breath for 20 minutes
Damuna: imagine the blowjobs it could give
Angry White Guy: are you saying the quality of the animal's blowjobs is a necessary indicator for species?
Damuna: yes.
Angry White Guy: because that seems rather subjective
Damuna: NO IT'S NOT
Damuna: IT'S SCIENCE
Damuna: I SWEAR IT IS
Damuna: WHAT I WAS DOING WAS DEFINITELY AN EXPERIMENT
Damuna: IT WASN'T PERVERTED
Angry White Guy: i think you may have a vested interest in the outcomes, i'm not sure your experiments would have been very scientific
Damuna: i am totally unbiased
Damuna: and my qualifications are unmatched
Damuna: i have seen lots of star trek episodes
Angry White Guy: do you have documentation of your experiments and qualifications?
Damuna: yes i do
Damuna: well
Damuna: i did
Damuna: but they got lost
Damuna: in a fire
Damuna: and a flood
Damuna: and hurricane katrina
ITT: AWG and Damuna royally fuck up EAK's thread.
