Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-

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
Well you are also not omniscient
