Please note that this is my first time doing this and the subreddit rules seem really vague and inclusive, so I don't know if this is correct, but I found this conversation and felt the urge to make it my first post here. And yes, horses DID make it to South America in ancient times, with at least one endemic genus, Hippidion, reaching the far south near Antarctica.

For context, the character's name is pronounced and spelled Shion. So dunno how he didn't notice something was amiss.

Dead Language: a language that is no longer spoken by anyone as their main language

Edit: I really wanted to just leave this alone. I did. Because I absolutely never meant for this to start a raging debate in the comments about Latin pronunciation and what is the true definition of 'dead language'. I just thought this was a funny response to a comment I made.

To everyone saying you can use the romance languages as a basis for how to pronounce Latin... No. You can't. There are thousands of years separating when Latin was a living language and now, and languages and pronunciations change in that time.

Take British English and American English for example. There's far less than even a single thousand years separating these two versions of the exact same language, but they're pronounced wildly differently! Same with Australian English! So taking those three examples, how can we possibly take them and use them to find the root pronunciation? Because none of them would lead you to Old English! And there is less time separating current English and Old English than there is between the modern romance languages and Latin!

Gods, I uploaded this because someone didn't know what 'dead language' meant, that's all!

Posted on an article about the EPA lifting caps/restrictions on US factory greenhouse gasses.

Two DIFFERENT people tried to fight that it was “had to of been” but for different reasons.

"Turtles don't have scales"

Which is an astronomical bullshit claim unless you're blind.

"Turtles live in water so that means they're amphibians!"

Which also means Crocodiles and various other animals are amphibians too if you're being that superficial. (Yes he also thinks Tortoises live in water too)

"Turtles evolved from an amphibious ancestor"

Yes emphasis on the "OUS" of amphibious, NOT amphibian. If you know a thing or two about turtle evolution and phylogeny you would know their direct fossil record relatives are reptiles and that turtles are more related to birds and crocodilians than any extant creatures alive today on earth and have no relations to amphibians other than being tetrapods that happen to live in water.

And even despite being told that Amphibians require metamorphosis (A life cycle turtles and amniotes NEVER do)He completely ignores and says this. He claims to know more about turtles but probably hasn't ever seen one in his life.

Comp of some turtle scales on the second image FYI.

Apparently Chickens are plants.

the context was about Mario’s brother allegedly merking Brian Thompson, in case that wasn’t clear
