have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I am so sick of seeing "this is a war crime, this is a war crime, this violates international law." What are we even talkin bout fr. All of this depravity is criminal. Has BEEN criminal. A violent violation to humanity and beyond. You think there's lawful bloodshed, dawg? Who consents to having their life stolen? Who consents to war? Famine, displacement, detention? Who determines the terms of cruelty? Who gets to enforce those terms?

"It's OK to kill people some of the time, but it's not OK to blow up hospitals and schools. That's not FAIR. You can't kill journalists, that's CHEATING." Some ole playground-sounding bullshit. Then sit 40 or 50 fuckers in a room and call what they talk about international opinion. "Raise your hand if you think a genocide is happening"-lookin ass. "Aww, Amerikkka voted no, so let's do this again in six months." Is the world in the room with us? And while they playin Heads Up Seven Up, multiple generations of living beings/creatures/ecosystems are being mutilated and destroyed in a matter of minutes globally. How insulting. How trivializing.

WTFIGO? WHAT.THE.FUCK.IS.GOING.ON. I don't get it. When will the outrage be real? There's life and death and the struggle to keep them separate. And then there are men who believe that struggle doesn't belong to you, that you have no say in it actually. This shit is urgent. But we arguing about right and wrong for sport and spectacle. Expecting justice and accountability from the average conquistador. Huh???

🤡.

"men aren't allowed to express their feelings" is actually the number one factor that set feminism back, not makeup or smut books or whatever. women all over think they're doing a service to mental health by acknowledging men are suffering & stoic to the point people will be like "men punch walls because they can't express themselves" I think he did express himself there by punching the wall which is bad and you can be angry at him and judge him for it

That's not good enough😡 She should be given an award😤

A 24-year-old woman, Tu Quyen Nguyen, avoided jail after taking part in a violent vigilante-style attack in Brisbane. She and three others targeted a 20-year-old man after learning he was a sexual predator.

The group ambushed the predator, beating him for several minutes, damaging his car, and threatening him not to go to police.

She was sentenced to three years in prison but granted immediate parole (meaning she did not have to serve time in custody) because the judge considered her a participant, not the instigator.

i refuse to join in on hate campaigns against women not because of whether i agree or disagree with what they did or didn’t do but because it’s not worth it to me to add to the sum of woman-hating in the world. and like if she actually did that and if it’s actually bad, 100% of the time there’s a man who did the same thing but worse and nobody gives a fuck. i will hate him instead if i feel like hating. i will not hate women
