I want to tell people this sometimes, but I figure they'll just think I'm mansplaining mansplaining.

Not really. When a dude pulls the “sorry, I’m neurodivergent and can talk way too much about this” or “I’m sorry I struggle with getting my thoughts clear to other people so I can overexplain” I’m a lot more sympathetic. I really think it’s best to think of mansplaining as gendered preemptive assumption of lack of knowledge

The key is to never take a clear pause; semicolons only; make them worried if you’re alright with a torrent of Skink facts.

Skink Facts!? Subscribed!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Did you know: there’s a mathematical formula that uses the length of a skinks toes and the length of its tail to determine how arboreal the species is?

Also, skinks wanna be your friend!

Subscribed! More, please!

Skinks are a social reptile! Unlike more solitary species, skinks can and do congregate.

Often for quinceañeras!

I don't know how to subscribe, but I want to! c/skinkfacts incoming?

Regretfully I only have two skink facts. If you’d like, I can start making them up? Or replacing real facts with skinks?

Did you know the Ancient Egyptians worshiped skinks (crocodiles) for the way they protect their young? And the temple in Skinkodopolis, priests would bejewel these skinks, and mummify them along with pets and servants.

I want to believe these are real, because what a world we would live in if they were!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yay! Did you know there's a genus of skinks that have green blood?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Wow! Now I have three cool skink facts! Thank you!

Scientists have not conclusively determined which species of skink is the cutest. But it’s this one.
