Exactly what the last comment said. The OP sounds obnoxious to be around.

I think hedgehog genes got a mention in the movie Annihilation - but they called them ‘HOX genes’, possibly so we could take the scientific lingo seriously.

HOX genes are the major genes that govern body plan development (what limbs you got and such). I know this because they feature prominently in furry scifi

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We’re all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
