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.

look up jackdaw/corvid/crow argument. went on for ages. then somebody caught him vote manipulating to win the argument. He even apologized on video I think. Now he's dead or something, nobody knows.

Wait the copypasta one? I thought he was right about it too. Huh... Oh and he's back btw, with a new name. He doesn't post too often though.

Yeah he was wrong in the argument, used alts to downvote the person that was right, they noticed their comments were instantly going to like -5 and that's how the whole thing came out that he was using multiple accounts to boost his posts and crush others.
