@pikesley I put it to you that these are two halves of the same fig -- "fig A", if you will.
@fishidwardrobe @pikesley please, not another entry for the fig replication crisis
@pikesley please alt text this properly.
@georgepotter @pikesley Sometimes people post the alt text as a comment. That helps the people who need the alt text and reminds the poster about good alt text.
@pikesley does that image have a date? 🤪
@pikesley Alt: illustrations of two figs, labelled fig 1 and fig 2
@pikesley I work in a research lab & had this on a bulletin board outside my office! I moved to a new office but left this behind. I wonder how long it will stay up.
@pikesley
I see you don't do things by halves.

Oh...
@pikesley what about fig tree?
@pikesley Hold up, is this the same fig? In that case it would be "Fig. 1 part 1" and "Fig. 1 part 2"?
@pikesley If plants could be evil, figs would fit the bill. They flower on the inside. Pregnant female wasps enter the fig through a small aperture, which strips away their wings in the process. She gives birth to males and females. Mating occurs inside the fig. The males dig away at the fig, allowing the newly pregnant females to escape; thereby repeating the whole hideous process.
@oblate @pikesley
A great example of co-evolution.
@pikesley I tried to scan this into Excel, but it interpreted them as dates.
@pikesley cesi n'est pass une figue.
