Didn’t he have the most amount of trouble with his hammock? I recall from the Dollop episode on him this dude couldn’t get in our out of the damn thing like ever
Well you know what they say, do what you hate!
That’s not even all of them, he also said “I hate a barnacle as no man ever did”.
His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.

Which Charles Darwin are you? I’m 23 jan 1863 Charles Darwin.

I’m 10 of September, 1860

Dumb bees and their dumb honey.

It’s hip to fuck bees.
Big Darwin mood
He sounds like he needs to take a cold shower.
Good News! Hot showers weren’t common place with non royalty for another 50 years. Likely his only choice of shower was a cold shower.
