Okay, I don't think people would call purple bacteria algae, it is a bit more complex, algae are basically cyanobacteria and eukaryotes with plastids except land plants.

I mean, all eukaryotes are Asgardarchaeota ¯\(ツ)

Single-celled is physiological description, though. But I like OPs point. We have a lot of "some group except" categories. Algae (photosynthesizers except land plants), fish (vertebrates except tetrapods), some definitions of protists (eukaryotes except animals, land plants, and fungi). Practically, we use dinosaurs for the long (>65mya) extinct lineages of the clade that also includes birds. But we don't have another name for the clade, so the point is lost.

Hypothesis supported -> publish results -> do a little dance -> make a little love -> get down tonight

That's the most cryptic description of the peer review process I've ever read.

Hypothesis seems supported -> Write a draft -> Get your hopes high -> Get fucked by reviewers discrediting your entire field -> Feel down after getting the paper out in 10th round of reviews in the the 5th journal you submitted to

And that's too much in brief, anyway

LOL how about horizontal gene transfer, and Eukaryotes being a merger of Alphaproteobacteria (and cyanobacteria for the photosynthesizing ones) and Asgard Archea.

It's all interconnected, intertwined, nature man! Holobionts and shit.

I don't know where to write it so I put it here (awesome meme, my comment is offtop): I recently had a bit of free time between my PhD, activism, slacking, and just being there for my close ones. I thought, well, let's do something good for the Fediverse. I love c/science_memes at mander.xyz, so I reasoned: let's go to reddit and s t e a l some memes for this community. I searched for science memes on reddit and oh boy, they were crappy. Not a single one deserving to be here (if you cross-post to reddit, first stop, but also sorry I was there on a different day). Gosh it made me appreciate this place. Please, keep on being awesome and, since idk who you are and don't want to be unrealistic, I can only wish you a median-good day.

Okay. I need a physicist. How does that relate to the heat death of the universe. Is all iron-56 the most probable distribution of energy in the universe (max entropy)?
