I am certain this has been posted before but I love it
Japan in the back looking at China
Wow I have never seen the unedited version of this before!
That is the most 90s photo ever
Japan: “Can you call us something other than dipshit?”
It must be hard being vegan and having to skip on A/D/N/Q/U/V/W/Y for secretly being animal products…
“A” from ox, “D” from fish, “N” from snakes, “Q” from monkeys (I never knew! Reducing my use of those in the future), and “U/V/W and Y” are all made from poultry.
Vegans love animals as long as they are not abused or on a plate so using little pictures of animals would make vegans gleeful while writing most probably.
and the form of the letter could have been based on the eye of a needle, a knot, or even a monkey with its tail hanging down
I think you can start using Q again
The whole progression for curious people.
The base of the Taurus constellation looks like an A if you flip it the right way. Taurus is a bull. Essentially, it’s just different abstractions from a constellation.
Weird how both the constellation and the actual head of a bull look like an inverted capital A, almost like the constellation was invented because it looks like the actual head of a bull
Taurus the bull is the full constellation made of 10ish stars. The A part is probably just the face with the 5 brightest stars.
i think the Hyades represent the face of the bull, and looks a lot like capital A, hard to call it a coincidence, currently visible early night on both hemispheres
Something about the Phoenician one speaks to me
I like how the Canaanite one is just like “meh, good enough”
I think technically the word for this kind of evolution is “iterative” not "transformative. As each step iterates on what came before.
Not really. No-one was intentionally repeating a process to generate a series of outcomes. It just kind of happened.
it’s an iteration of transformative steps
Also IIRC the letter B used to originally look like a house.
