The base of the Taurus constellation looks like an A if you flip it the right way. Taurus is a bull. Essentially, it’s just different abstractions from a constellation.

i think the Hyades represent the face of the bull, and looks a lot like capital A, hard to call it a coincidence, currently visible early night on both hemispheres
Show threadUruannaMar 10
Weird how both the constellation and the actual head of a bull look like an inverted capital A, almost like the constellation was invented because it looks like the actual head of a bull
Show threadZoteTheMightyMar 10
Taurus the bull is the full constellation made of 10ish stars. The A part is probably just the face with the 5 brightest stars.

It must be hard being vegan and having to skip on A/D/N/Q/U/V/W/Y for secretly being animal products…

“A” from ox, “D” from fish, “N” from snakes, “Q” from monkeys (I never knew! Reducing my use of those in the future), and “U/V/W and Y” are all made from poultry.

and the form of the letter could have been based on the eye of a needle, a knot, or even a monkey with its tail hanging down

I think you can start using Q again

Vegans love animals as long as they are not abused or on a plate so using little pictures of animals would make vegans gleeful while writing most probably.

I think technically the word for this kind of evolution is “iterative” not "transformative. As each step iterates on what came before.
Show threadgandalf_der_12teMar 10
it’s an iteration of transformation steps

Not really. No-one was intentionally repeating a process to generate a series of outcomes. It just kind of happened.

Also IIRC the letter B used to originally look like a house.

The whole progression for curious people.
