minus-square@affiliatelinkEnglish47•9 months ago Despite the name, no centipede has exactly 100 pairs of legs; number of legs ranges from 15 pairs to 191 pairs, always an odd number. (wikipedia) wtf is going on with these guys
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish46•9 months agoI mean, I have an odd number of leg pairs. You probably do too?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•9 months agoi mean, our arms are just fucked up legs, so technically we have an even pair of legs.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•9 months agoThis sentence took me multiple attempts to parse.
minus-square@affiliatelinkEnglish3•9 months agoyeah but the range of leg pairs for humans is (comparatively) much more tame. this would be like if humans had 1-12.3 leg pairs. and crazier still, humans were named something like “6 legged beings”

Four legs good, two legs bad.

That’s very clearly a house centipede
