Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Also, vertebrate eyes (left below) have a blind spot because the nerve wiring is routed in front of the retina and needs a path to get out of the eyeball, so there's a spot with no photoreceptor cells where all the fibers run out.

It doesn't have to be this way - cephalopod eyes (right) have the nerves running out the back of the retina so they don't need a pass-through hole.

But, but... We were made in God's image, from 2 people, 6000 years ago...

To be fair to God, I'd probably also make a lot of mistakes if I tried to make a whole universe in a week on my first attempt
