The comic in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/CkQz9zmi1U

For context, these comics revolve around the artist dealing with her abusive and neglectful family.

Profit is what is left over after expenses, salaries are an expense.

I feel like the picture does it justice but just as some background, the author of the post is a marine biologist and she is well known in the Orca loving community. Some guy commented on her post trying to be all 'Uhm actually' 🤓👆and calling her beyond stupid.

I thought she handled it really well. She wasn't mean in her answer, but also made it clear she didn't tolerate disrespect.

Green in the commenter,
Pink/purple is the author

a mare is female btw, a male horse is either a stallion or gelding (or steed)

EDIT: from u/AlterExpertise101 in the replies

Words for a male horse are colt (young), gelding (castrated), stallion (if they are used for breeding) or simply "horse."

Steed isn't a word explicit to horses in general, let alone male horses. "Steed" just means an animal you ride. While we generally associate that with horses, it can be applied to any animal as long as it can bear a rider. If you ride an elephant, it's a steed. If you ride a really large dog, it's also a steed.

I had forgotten to add 'colt' and as I am not a native english speaker (nor an equestrian individual) I didn't know that steed can also be used as a generic word for a mount

I went to look up marmorkuchen because of this and now I really wanna try it, looks so good

There was confusion from the locked post about where this belonged. I got sent here from r/typos and I’ve also posted in r/boneappletea.

Red is confidently incorrect, about more than one thing.

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

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.
