Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs

[youwinagainmoffat-blog]

jesus that is good to know.

[chandra75-deactivated20180905]

Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.

REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit

my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies

[pkmnbreederbrianna]

Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!

AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS

Dogs are truly angels.

[oshiawaseni]

so THATS why these cheetah ft dogo pics exist

[erin-luci-and-me]

the anxiety cat

[peppermint-madness]

Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great

[elfwreck]

[bunjywunjy]

this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like “being in an enclosed habitat” and “there’s a guy over there”.

so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.

[june-egbert-official]

Cheetah: oh god what’s going on how are we feeling weird spotless cheetah

Dog: :) fine, thanks

Cheetah: :) oh, okay

Wasn’t expecting this of all posts to be the first tumblr post I’ve ever seen crest 2mil notes, but I’ll take it

[ieafy]

I can’t stop drawing mantises I fear

[downright-shitty-deactivated201]

 So, Yahoo bought Tumblr. I am very sad now. Tumblr was my life source. It kept me alive for so long and now… I don’t even know what to do. I can feel my body becoming weak. You ruined it Yahoo. I don’t even want to use Tumblr now if it’s going to be run by you. I might as well start planning my own funeral because I don’t know how long I will live without my power pack. Yes, I referred to Tumblr as my power pack. Why, you might ask; because when I’m not on Tumblr the world feels all wrong, but when I’m on it, I feel my energy rise. It kept me going and now you have taken that away. Great job! I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. Do you feel good about yourself Yahoo? Does it feel good taking away millions of peoples life source? What do we have to live for now? Yes, I know David Karp is the CEO still, but come on! You’ll probably just boot him out eventually. You suck Yahoo! You absolutely Suck! Oh, and by the way David Karp… We are no longer bffs. You’re not even an f. You’re just a b and it doesn’t stand for best. How could you let this happen? I thought we’d be tight forever. Now look what you’ve done. You have made the Tumblr population very sad. You should be ashamed of yourself. You hear me? ASHAMED!

I FOUND IT 

I FOUND THE ORIGINAL POST

holy shit it only got like 25 notes

but “colourless-cunts" was the non family friendly one

pffffffff

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

[prismatic-bell]

You know.

I feel like.

Something Tumblr has failed to understand in its quest to become solvent.

Is that user surveys would probably help in providing things people would actually pay for!

--I would pay up to $5 a month to be able to list my crochet for sale in-app. I post the photos and information and indicate it's a sales post, Tumblr provides the "buy here" link.

--I would pay $30 a year for ad-free, but not $70.

--I would pay $1/mo to have a second user icon, and while $1/mo isn't much, it adds up. Indeed, back in the LJ days it was really common to pay for extra icons for your RP accounts so your character could "make facial expressions."

--that $70/yr? I'd pay that if it included one free Blaze per month, no ads, and three user icons.

I would pay to help keep the lights on if they gave me something I felt was worth paying for. But they don't seem to understand that payment needs to have value added, and "we're doing weird coding stuff nobody wants" is not value added.

[prismatic-bell]

Yall, I love you, but please stop trying to blaze this post. It's been rejected five times now.

[mariasklodowskastwixbar]

Manual blaze?

[prismatic-bell]

That's fine, I just don't want folks wasting their money.

[mutationgirl]

it’s bullshit that being under this much stress has yet to awaken my latent psychic abilities

[stillfuckingtired]

Yeahhh, what’s that about? So far all it’s done is make me chronically ill

[insidestory1]

Stress has awakened my body's latent ability. It's latent ability to malfunction in ways no doctor can comprehend.

[wizardarchetypes]

learning a new instrument from a single teacher is so funny bc that's your point of reference for a while until you start branching out a little. was talking to a specialist in irish music history about my early irish harp lessons and i was like "it's a good thing i have strong fingernails so i don't have to get acrylics to play" and he was like "you're playing with your fingernails?" and i was like "yeah my teacher said that's how you play" and he was like "that's how irish harp players used to play like 1,000 years ago. i don't know anyone who plays with their fingernails now. even in the 1700s at a harp festival we have record of just one guy playing with his fingernails."

i guess he can't say no one is playing like this anymore bc at least my teacher is but this is why when ur new to something u can't walk around assuming you have all the facts. thought i was learning harp like usual meanwhile my teacher is an extremely dedicated medieval reenactor.

Most 'out of left field' way to discover someone is a vampire

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

a lot of stuff happened but i'm choosing to remember 2025 as the year i found out people with green eyes exist irl

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

couple things:

yes i spent my entire life until a few months ago assuming green eyes were an urban legend

"what about all the fictional characters with green eyes" thought it was a trope like with anime protagonists having naturally purple hair

i found out by watching Desperate Housewives (one of the actors has green eyes and it threw me off)

(i had never watched Desperate Housewives until that point bc i assumed it was reality tv, of the same genre as Real Housewives Of Metropolitan Areas franchise)

i still haven't seen green eyes irl, i am simply aware now that they actually exist

"have you really never met a person with green eyes." i didn't say that. it's possible I've met dozens. my autistic ass has spent decades elevating eye contact avoidance to a sublime art form.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

did more research and now I'm sort of leaning back to my original stance that green eyes don't actually exist? people say "green" but all i'm seeing is eyes that are blue-and-brown. can i get some example photos so i know what we're talking about???

[kind-of-human1]

I assume this is what people think of when they imagine green eyes. Whether they look green or not is mostly a lighting thing from what I've seen. I have gray eyes that can look green in the right light.

Green eyes are also the rarest eye color period, so I don't actually blame you for not knowing they existed at all.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

these are just blue with brown/yellow mixed in? i have those type of eyes, i assume they're pretty common. definitely less rare than people with 100% blue eyes with no mix-ins

[teslapenguin1]

blue with yellow mixed in

and what do you get when you mix blue and yellow

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok listen

[bee-dazzle]

Gaud

I think you might have green eyes

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

they're not green they are blue and yellow that's two different colors neither of those colors is green this is what im talking about people say "green eyes" and then it turns out they're just talking about eyes with multiple colors (blue, brown, yellow) none of which is actually green!!!!!!!!!

[thegreatcatwar]

As of writing you have a little over 24 hours give or take to learn that grey eyes exist as well!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that's light blue

[changelingchilde9]

That's grey with a hint of blue.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

my outer irises are the same damn shade, i would be aware if that was gray, but it is not it is WISHY WASHY BLUE

[librowyrm]

Clearly the only solution to this is to post a blurry closeup of your own eyes for us to argue about

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*sighs*

FUCK ALL OF YOU

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

they are pale BLUE and YELLOW my phone camera is just shitty they are two separate colors part blue and part yellow two colors

[awintersunrise]

Hey @biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist -- like this?

[power-chords]

If you were writing a novel set in your city of origin, what’s the arcane environmental detail you would go out of your way to include in order to immerse the reader and flaunt your “locals only” intimacy with the terrain? For me it would be that sharp curve the northbound 6 hits that lets you know you are pulling into Grand Central.

[awintersunrise]

The occasional alligator on the steps of the municipal building. Or the opossums the size of a large Maine Coon that you only see when you're out late and all the photos on your phone are taken under streetlights that cast a yellow haze akin to the AI piss filter.

[marithlizard]

This is the best thing I've seen all week and I had to share. (source) Explanation in the alt text:

Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

I wish that this person would receive perfect clarity of mind about her actions and their consequences, and I wish a gun with a single bullet would be placed before her so that she could make good use of this mindstate

Step 1: Mandate alternatives to emission-heavy systems

Step 2: Fail to provide energy for said systems

Step 3: ???

my favorite graph regarding nuclear

[dragon-in-a-fez]

reminds me of the time I said something pro-nuclear to my ex and they said “I don’t think you’d feel that way if you grew up near a nuclear plant like I did” and I asked “oh what happened” and they were like “well. nothing. nevertheless”

[headspace-hotel]

no discussion of nuclear power is complete without the fact that coal and other fossil fuels very much do produce toxic and radioactive waste

[theemeraldwings]

Anyone who is anti-nuclear is anti-environment. Nuclear is safe, it is clean, and it is even more energy dense than fossil fuels. It might not be truly renewable, but there’s so much energy available that it doesn’t make much of a difference. To try and shut it down is to put down one of your strongest allies in the fight against fossil fuels.

[whisperingsoup]

Everytime this comes around again, I remember that there was a push to refit coal power plants to run on nuclear, due to the fact that other than the power source, your still just boiling water so everything else is the same.

They couldn’t get the ok to refit the coal plants tho, because the coal power plants were too radioactive to pass nuclear power plant standards.

THE COAL PLANTS WERE TOO RADIOACTIVE TO BE TURNED INTO NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.

[awintersunrise]

I grew up between two nuclear plants. I am pro-nuclear power. The areas around both plants are responsible for so much biodiversity, by sheer virtue of being wildlife conservation areas.
