      A meme doesn’t have to be funny. ;)

        Shouldn’t it be transformative in some way? Like if someone edited it and then submitted it would feel more like a meme to me.

          Nah, replication is enough, shows interest. This meme was stolen, thus it lives on as a vehicle. The intention here is to simply get people interested in the world around them. Not sure what the original goal was. This one just has a little more .jpg than the last. I’ve seen variants of this one, regardless. This is an old one.

              Block, report or read the rules and ask the moderators. You’re wasting your own time and everyone else’s, I found this an enjoyable meme and so did many others.

    Some of that is controversial as far as I know. And the pseudopupils are an optical Artifact since every single eye has its own opening.

    I loved this graphic. Great content, something I’d never wondered about and just today realized I’m not curious enough.

    Thanks op or bot whichever.

      Bear in mind the same ecosystem produced the Sarlacc.

      Which apparently I know how to spell without checking.

    Chinchillas have vertical slit pupils despite being small herbivorous rodents. There are definitely quite a few exceptions.

      I don’t think the pseudopupils are a feature of the eye distinct from any other part, it’s just what the individual facets look like viewed at a shallow angle.

      edit: not that there aren’t bugs with different colored regions of their eyes. I’m not sure about the functionality of those tho, is it for vision or camouflage or looking good for the ladies or what. Will google

    W-shaped pupils likely also help cuttlefish see color and polarization of light, despite not having any cone cells in their retinas!
