    Evolution is throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks (by sticking I mean reproducing bc you have better traits). If every single one of their prey and predators have this color blindness then orange and green would have the same effectiveness and whichever trait comes out first. If a prey/predator evolved to have better color vision then it would quickly become a disadvantage and after millions of years it’s possible they evolve to have green fur.

    There could be other benefits like being easier to attract mates.

    Also some animals can see infrared, so even if their fur was perfect for the environment they could still have issues by being spotted, in which case the color doesn’t matter as much and the colors for mating becomes more important.

    Edit: Wording.











  • I could save them a lot of time and energy, here’s all the solutions to things they’re “studying”.

    1. Highly processed foods and lack of varied diets.
    2. Extremely high healthcare costs that make treatment/cures unreachable.
    3. General distrust of medical professionals due to online guidance being actively harmful for most people.
    4. Long commutes and general shift to online/office work has lead to greater rates of inactivity.
    5. Lack of in person community leads to isolation and mental health issues.
    6. High costs of living, being told your neighbors are your enemies, disinformation in the news making it hard to be informed or knowledgeable, and constant threats to people’s lives leading to mental health issues.
    7. People taking ivermectin like it’s Elon musk doing ketamine.
