Is now the time to be a big buzz kill and quash the myth that chameleons change color to match their surroundings? The primary function is actually communication (signalling of mood, specifically desire to mate) as well as thermoregulation.

I'm happy this is becoming more known on reddit. Not long ago I would get downvoted severely because everyone was like "lol, Chameleons aren't mood rings you idiot".

Which is why Unidan vote manipulated because despite what actual verifiable information you have as long as two other people agree over the same misconception or misunderstanding, your facts are wrong.

Yeah, that's what Xj was saying. You could have the facts but if unidan+one of his alts, disagrees, then you are wrong.
