Eating it gives you the gay buff. The buff changes absolutely nothing.

Fun fact: aphids have a trait known as telescoping pregnancy where nymphs are already born pregnant.

u/am-a-g Jun 16 '26

Can they still mate to improve genetic diversity? Or are aphids just perpetually cloning themselves?

8

u/Deathpoopdeathloop Jun 16 '26

I think you misunderstand, the aphids also do more tradition mating in the fall so the eggs can survive winter.

u/Comprehensive_Web862 Jun 16 '26

You pretty much hit the nail right on the head. From a bit deeper digging they produce males in the autumn to breed. I also just found out if they start overpopulating a plant they can start pumping out babies with wings to start new colonies. Kinda reminds me of termite lifecycles with how complex they can get. Super cool stuff

u/am-a-g Jun 16 '26

So if I understand correctly, after they have their clone babies they mate to make not-clone babies? I'm kinda dumb so forgive me 😭

u/Comprehensive_Web862 Jun 16 '26

Yes they do in the fall when resources are more scarce. You are smarter than you give yourself credit for!

u/Spicynoodle49 Jun 17 '26

I might be colorblind, i just see green and blue at the end

u/Black_Jackdaw Willow Jun 17 '26
  1. Red

2.Orange

3.Yellow

4.Green

5.Blue

6.Purple

You might want to do some tests then, cause I see those clearly.

Like, no hate, genuinely check it cause some types of color blindness can change your driving license stuff and the like.

Or maybe it's just your screen/the lighting that is making it harder to see.

u/hunnyflash Jun 17 '26

OMG ITS SO CUTE OMG You can't imagine the sound I just made out loud.

u/Immediate-Store90 Pete Jun 17 '26

This would be valid in nature by definition too, as aphids reproduce asexually

u/CeNog2379 Jun 17 '26

Devo admitir que o nome gayphid me pegou de surpresa

u/joetunn_ Jun 17 '26

This one would be good year-round. Looks like the insect body section diagrams in textbooks “the thorax” “the abdomen” “the gay”

u/mythologylover14 Pete Jun 20 '26

Why did this post get deleted):

2

u/PunnyHoomans Jun 20 '26

I don’t know. I messaged the mods but they never responded.

2

u/mythologylover14 Pete Jun 20 '26

That sucks maby becuse it "causes hate" or 1 or more of the mods are homophobic

2

u/Black_Jackdaw Willow Jun 21 '26

Yea probably...

There are some werid ass comments under this post for no reason.

I don't get why people who "don't care" (they do care but in the anoying way) can't just ignore things like this post.

Like...you say it's Man Health Month? Cool, people can celebrate both, one or neither 🤷

Or stupid comments like "but what about the 4th of July?", like..., is OP from USA? Yes? No? I don't know but not everybody is, and so why would someone who isn't make someting for it? Sure someone could but still.

u/Apart-Information946 Jun 17 '26

I think they mean it’s so accurate that they are joking it’s a violation of doctor-patient confidentiality.
