minus-squareaffiliate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up57·1 年前 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-squareklemptor@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up55·1 年前I mean, I have an odd number of leg pairs. You probably do too?
minus-squareSwedneck@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 年前i mean, our arms are just fucked up legs, so technically we have an even pair of legs.
minus-squareWhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 年前Four legs good, two legs bad.
minus-squareAnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前This sentence took me multiple attempts to parse.
minus-squareaffiliate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 年前yeah 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”
