I like to share my personal skepticism regarding the existence of the platypus just so public school Twitter zoologists will send me this picture like it’s legit. Calm down Steve Irwin there is a 30% chance I’m kidding. https://twitter.com/scotknitter/status/1260193530733002754

My IRL friends: *shes definitely not kidding*

Listen guys try this fun exercise: the world at large forces you to believe preposterous things all the time. Constantly. Pick one totally benign unimportant thing that seems like bullshit and refuse to budge. It feels so good.

This doesn’t work if you pick something contentious. No vaccines, mommy shaming, global warming. Too stressful. No it has to be utterly meaningless. Flat out refuse to be lied to. The platypus is preposterous. I won’t do it.

But seriously though if you think that’s a real baby platypus you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
