The species name refers to the broad elements of the female genitalia and the size of the species and is derived from Latin obesa (meaning obese).[1]
gollark: That would probably be helpful in getting around it.
gollark: I really should learn exactly how the "discrete cosine transform" it apparently works on works.
gollark: Besides, I can always rotate images by 45 degrees or fuzz them beyond recognizability to get around it.
gollark: So it can't detect 45 degree rotations. Interesting.
gollark: Well, that works.
