Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

I once got this "taxonomy" laminated sheet from that company that makes "educational" laminated sheets and IT CALLED ICTHYOSAURS SWIMMING FORMS OF DINOSAURS AND PTEROSAURS FLYING FORMS! That still annoys me! I just want to punch the person who made that and them destroy the machines making that sheet just thinking about it!


Really? Awesome. I hate having to say pterosaurs and marine reptiles instead of referring them to dinosaurs.

I see no point to that whatsoever.

1) Incompetent service providers

I love the film "Clerks" and I know people behind the counter have to deal with total assholes sometimes but customers themselves suffer too.

One time, I was at Subway and I had to get the guy to pay attention because he was hung over!

And only yesterday I had to deal with some movie theater usher who couldn't understand my questions and couldn't understand his answers because he barely understood a lick of English! I hate people who come to America and don't bother to learn English! It should be requisite to becoming a U.S. citizen in my opinion.

2) Idiots who chat and text in movie theaters

This moron right next to me helped ruin watching Iron Man 2!
Then would you say it's a prerequisite for someone to learn the native tongue of any other country before going there?

Just checking you're not one of those hypocrites, didn't think you would be but just in case...

I agree with the "all ancient reptiles are dinosaurs" thing, and I don't even like it to describe something as "ancient" because it still confuses me when someone says dinosaur, I think dinosaur, I don't think of some other kind of reptile. It's confusing to give it double meanings.

Another pet peeve of mine: People who are loud late at night to the point of waking/keeping awake the neighbours. And then don't even answer the door when you ask them to keep it down.

People here were moving stuff (just lots of banging and clattering) last night until midnight, I went to bed at 10. Didn't sleep till about 1 in the morning. Then they were back at it at before 6 this morning... ugh, had hardly any sleep. Rude people too.

I also hate pretty much what you allready mentioned. I also hate people that draws anime counterparts for western cartoons. Also hate people that thinks that inmaturity is liking pokemon and still watching cartoons.

Yeah right... but getting drunk all night at parties, so that then you drive drunk towards your house and have a car accident in which you survive but you also kill inocent people that were driving peacefully in the road is SO MATURE... ¬_¬

I hate anime SO much. There are so many other styles, so why don't you do it? Also, the anime TV shows have such choppy framerates.

And why do all the DeviantArt anime have to be nudity?

Don't watch Pokemon. Watched it a few times though, not a fan.

Avatar was okay, but again not my favorite. But I did like it better than Pokemon. I am going to see its movie.

If you're just a tourist and not planning on being a working citizen in that nation, of course not.

But if not, then hell yeah!

If I had to go to work in France, I'd learn French as soon as possible and not have people struggle understanding me and vice versa because I was too lazy to learn the language and kept leaning on multi-lingual employees to save my ass.

Law and Order. Not the entire show (though I've never liked it), but the two-beats you hear every so often for dramatic effect, mainly when switching scenes. It's like they know they're boring, and trying to keep you interested. They also fail at that.

People who don't know caffeine is a drug. It is.

People who don't think pot is dangerous. It is, like cigarrettes, just not as bad as other people think.

Also, those other people.

People who get pissy over a joke.

Anyone who gets upset about not getting their way, then ruins everything for everyone.

Nose-rings.
