That has actually been tested!

Big cats notice the laserpointer but they don’t really chase it. Most likely because they don’t hunt insects and small rodents.

Simiiformes is a clear and distinct clade.

There is no such thing for trees, because “tree” is a botanical classification, not a cladistical one.

If baboons and macaques are monkeys, and if howlermonkeys and spidermonkeys are monkeys, humans MUST be monkeys.

Because they can ONLY both be monkeys if their common ancestor was also a monkey and we share that very same common ancestor. In fact we are closer related to macaques and baboons than to spidermonkeys, which means we share a more recent common ancestor with old world monkeys than both us and the other old world monkeys share with the new world monkeys.

Cladistically, you can not outgrow your ancestry.

Humans are apes, apes are a subgroup of monkeys, monkeys are a subgroub of primates.

That’s just farming, only on a reeeeeeaaaaly small scale.

Diceros bicornis

The twohorned twohorn… this is wild.

🤣

First, let me agree that everything in the kingdom Animalia is, in fact, an animal.

But now let me point out that many of the people who say shit like this might not speak english as their first language. Many languages have different words for animal for different types of animals. I tried to find out what I’m half remembering but I can’t find it quickly and I have to get to work. But I vaguely remember that some word that’s usually translated as animal into english actually doesn’t include insects. Just like the english “deer” at one point in time refered to all wild beasts (but not fish or fowl) and now only refers to Cervidae.

Uhh, do Disney!

which works better?

Embrace the Rot by Endless Taverns.

I play a high level D&D spore druid who worships the rot as the culmination of the circle of life and death. He’s also, due to our campaign turning us into the heirs of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, currently wearing the mantle of the second horseman “Pestilence”.

It’s just… the song is perfect, it’s his theme song now.

My most hated meme people use right now is: “We’ve had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that’s just how it is.”

Bitch if it’s the worst of the century every year that means it’s getting worse every year! There’s no status quo in this!

I loved playing Ghost of Tsushima (gotta play it again when I get home) and I really enjoy everything Erika Ishii does, this is amazing!

Uhh, I once found good information on why that is:

Testosterone raises the pain threshold, so men are usually more resistant to pain and more prone to “tough it out”. But Testosterone also makes people more vulnerable to typical cold and flu symptoms.

So while men do have a higher pain tolerance than non-pregnant women (pregnancy hormones really hit different) they also suffer more severe symptoms.

The depicted spider is a cellar spider btw., they are known to attack and eat redback spiders, huntsman spiders and house spiders. This is the anti-spider spider, the traitorous black legger.

You mean aborted barley fetuses?
