please listen to this poor man losing his shit as he reads an article blaming millenials for killing the mayonnaise industry that was written by a babyboomer upset people don’t want to eat her bland salads anymore

[Video Narration:] 

[In a hushed voice:] “Here comes the good part. [Louder, and with more enthusiasm:] ‘My son Jake, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. [With a more angry tone:] I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies [starts to laugh] major in college.’ [Laughing harder now with each word:] ‘Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise!’”

[Laughter that gets louder and more ridiculous:] [Wheezing] “Yes, the most well known side affect of feminism. [Laughs even more, with slight wheezing] [Hard to understand here:] If you take gender studies- I warned you children, you will stop enjoying mayonnaise! [Laughs more] [While laughing:] Oh, why is this so fucking funny?? [Continues laughing] Oh- I can’t- I cannot fucking deal with this- ‘She was a women’s and gender studies major in college, so [shouting] NATURALLY- [Starts to laugh again] she loathes mayonnaise.’” [Loses it again]

“NATURALLY- [Wheezing uncontrollably] Oh my God, help! [Laughs more] [Coughs a bit] [Continues laughing] Ugh! [Exhales] “Fuu- [unintelligible] face- oh God. [Chuckles] Ohhhh- this shouldn’t be so funny. [Coughs and laughs] I don’t know why this is so funny. [Laughs more quietly and calms down] “’And she’s not alone. Ask the young people you know their opinion of mayo and you’ll be SHOCKED by the depths- [Starts wheezing and laughing loudly, again] of their emotion- [Laugh] Oh, there’s the occasional outlier, like Jake’- my wonderful son whom I love unlike my terrible [starts chuckling] daughter who took gender studies and hates mayonnaise- aaah. [Laughs] ‘But for the most part, today’s youth would sooner get their news from an actual newspaper… than ingest mayo-’ [Wheezes] what the fuck does that mean??” [Continues wheezing and laughing, and then the video ends]

Plantigrade

From Latin planta (sole of the foot) + gradi (to walk, to step). Plantigrade animals, which include humans, bears, and raccoons, walk on their phalanges (finger/toe bones), metapodials, and podials (the bones of the wrist/heel & ankle).

Digitigrade

From Latin digitus (finger, toe) + gradi. Digitigrade animals, such as cats, dogs, and birds, walk on multiple phalanges, but not metapodials or podials.

Unguligrade

From Latin ungulua (hoof) + gradi. Unguligrade animals, such as horses and cows, walk only on the distal phalanx.

The horizontal lines in the image above show where the ankle is on each diagram. And because this was too perfect to pass up… here’s what a human foot with plantigrade, digitigrade, and unguligrade bone structures with a bonus wading bird foot on the far right (

human -> dog -> horse -> flamingo).
