    You need a source on my comment

    I don’t need it, I’m just curious because I thought what you said was really interesting. If you’re not willing to provide it, I guess I might find the energy to look it up some time. Probably not though.

    but you took the 12 receptor comment in the meme at face value?

    What do you mean face value? I’ve heard the 12 photoreceptors fact a hundred times before, but never coupled with the fact that they don’t have the interpolation capability.

    I don’t really get what you’re driving at, to be honest.

      Hearing things often doesn’t make it a credible statement. Peer reviewed research does.

      Go study.

        I believe I’ve seen it in multiple credible nature documentaries as well. Where does it end? Do I need to go and ask a fucking mantis shrimp myself how many photoreceptors it has? Maybe one sample isn’t enough. Maybe I’ll ask ten thousand of them to be statistically viable?

        You’re acting like a prick, by the way. I wasn’t rude to you, but you’re being rude for no reason.

        Happy New Year, bro. Maybe a resolution for you could be to meet people who first treat you with respect, with some decency back. I’m not angry with you, I’m just saying these things to you because it’s something you need to hear, to grow as a person.

        All the best. ❤️

          Nature documentaries don’t make things credible. Peer reviewed research does.

          Do you also believe in Alpha Wolves? How about ancient aliens?

            Jeeesus, dude. I tried. 😂 Some people just don’t want to hear. What a prick.
