Didn't he have the most amount of trouble with his hammock? I recall from the Dollop episode on him this dude couldn't get in our out of the damn thing like ever
I was actually making a joke about the hydrotherapy he used to treat his condition. It involved getting doused with cold water. I don't think anyone caught my joke.

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
"It is like confessing a murder"- on the implications of telling his friends about his theory. That was an interesting read thanks
That's not even all of them, he also said "I hate a barnacle as no man ever did".

oh weird, the link keeps getting mangled when I paste it.
Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid
the space is still there though?
https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/?docId=letters%2FDCP-LETT-3272.xmlthis works for me?
EDIT: This is bizzare. the forward slash between letters and DCP keeps getting replaced by %2F
Tough! Fails--

does it though? it looks like your link has the same issue as mine
It seems lemmy doesn't like the direct letter url. But you can find it by searching: https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/search?keyword=DCP-LETT-3272.xml
It seems like they have a bug where they should be doing a url deencode on the document id url parameter, but they aren't
charles darwin hated those too apparently
Which Charles Darwin are you? I'm 23 jan 1863 Charles Darwin.
I'm 10 of September, 1860
And yet, you write. Curious.
I have a timed close-book exam today so I am of course 1 Oct 1861
I'm not happy about it.
11 March 1958 clockin in. Hate me some variety
Bold to pick a date 70 years after his death. In that case, I'm 1993 Darwin, rolling in his grave at the launch of the Darwin Awards.
Hahahaha opps the fartographer got me
Sounds like a regular programmer today.
Actually he sounds like a top-tier programmer today
I'm detecting a theme here.
Generally, he was not a fan of things
He did love eating every new animal he ran across.

Darwin was famously seasick, but also wanted to really look at birds and shit. Bad combination.

Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.
Fuck bees though.
Dumb bees and their dumb honey.
You leave the bees alone or prepare to catch some hands my good sir and/or madame. Wasps can get fucked tho
It's hip to fuck bees.
I am very poorly today.
Poorly what?
Poorly everything.
He sounds like he needs to take a cold shower.
Good News! Hot showers weren't common place with non royalty for another 50 years. Likely his only choice of shower was a cold shower.
I was actually making a joke about the hydrotherapy he used to treat his condition. It involved getting doused with cold water. I don't think anyone caught my joke.
Big Darwin mood
Same list for me every morning before the coffee.
Well you know what they say, do what you hate!
Missed opportunity to include his praise of inbreeding to produce "superior stock".
What?
No.
Darwin married his first cousin, yeah...that was the social norm at the time, not long ago.
But he hypothesized and later proved that the inbreeding was a direct cause of his children's poor health.
I wouldn't say he was a fan of inbreeding, just a reluctant participant who eventually warned us of its dangers.
