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

Well you know what they say, do what you hate!

"I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees"

I'm going to look for some kitschy artwork at the thrift store and make this into a "Live Laugh Love" style wall decoration.

That's not even all of them, he also said "I hate a barnacle as no man ever did".

I'm pretty sure there have been people who hate barnacles more than Charles Darwin after they've been keelhauled.

Yeah well you mainly hate the captain after that, if you survive to hate anything

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin

how is this not one of our meme picture things in the meme picture library yet?

He has that kind of egg head

But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.— I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids8 & today I hate them worse than everything so farewell & in a sweet frame of mind, I am | Ever yours | C. Darwin

this works for me?

Sounds like a regular programmer today.

Actually he sounds like a top-tier programmer today

Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.

I'm detecting a theme here.

Generally, he was not a fan of things

Which Charles Darwin are you? I'm 23 jan 1863 Charles Darwin.

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.

I'm 10 of September, 1860

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

"So, what didn't he hate?", I hear you ask.

Worms. He loved worms. The man could watch them for hours.

Guess his wife was into tiktok challenges

I am very poorly today.

Poorly what?

Poorly everything.

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.

Big Darwin mood

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.
