Pugs Memes

The scientific community's obsession with selective breeding has reached meme status! On the left, we have the greyhound—nature's aerodynamic masterpiece with its streamlined snoot designed for maximum zoomies. On the right, the pug—breathing through what's essentially evolution's typo. Selective breeding has turned some dogs into speed machines while others can barely handle a flight of stairs without sounding like a vacuum cleaner trying to suck up a sock. Darwin would be simultaneously impressed and horrified at how we've managed to create both canine Ferrari and Fiat models from the same wolf blueprint.

Behold the scientific horror story of selective breeding! On the left: nature's original designs. On the right: what happens when humans decide "needs more squish factor." That hairless rat is basically evolution's code base after a junior developer decided to "clean it up." The goldfish with the bulging eyes is what happens when we prioritize "aww" over "ability to swim properly." And pugs? They're breathing through a cocktail straw while we coo about their flat faces. Darwin is somewhere facepalming so hard he's created a new fossil layer. The creepy figure at the bottom is just our collective scientific conscience asking "was orthognathic functionality really that boring?"
