paleontologists ruined spinosaurus when they decided it could fly

pangur-and-grim

the funniest thing about this is that people still haven't settled on how Spinosaurus would stand up (is it bipedal? quadrupedal? knuckle walking?) so part of this posing is probably them throwing their hands up and being like fuck it, just dangle the thing from the ceiling

palaeontologists do the same thing with ground sloths. they don't know how it balanced on those whacky front feet (palm down? knuckling like a gorilla?), so instead they just pose it clutching a random tree

the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, they’ve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like i’m talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isn’t coming to peak, it’s been in the global south where you can’t see it or feel it.

probuccalfat

imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%—you make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.

Modi denied climate change for years. Now, as heat deaths mount, his government offers branding instead of protection.

*sits bolt upright* the natural predator of Vampires is stone circles

rosenkranz-isnt-dead

why 🤨

jaegershund

Accross Britain (I can't speak for other countries with stone circles and standing stones) an extremely common rejoiner is that these stones in a circle cannot be counted. In some places that simply means that noone will agree on how many there are, in others it means that anyone who counts them will immediately disappear, to god knows were (some say Avalon. I say to some sort of digestion chamber. Wilder men than me will suggest that's two phrases for one concept).

One thing we know about vampires is they are cursed, as part of the condition, with a deep and fundemantal requirement to count things.

Therefore I posit that, much in the way nematodes in soil are naturally preyed upon by fungi who form little mycellial nooses for worms to snag themselves in, vampires are - by force of random brownian motion (vampires cannot share territory and therefore will force each other apart to ensure a wide spread of biters) to encounter stone circles, whereupon they are forced to count them and henceforth be removed from the board. So to speak.

Every time I see this post I think about that study that was done on how cats recognize visual imagery. They weren't sure if they track by color? shape? outline? movement? So they did an experiment where they showed cats clips of birds or rodents, visually altered in various ways -- light-inverted? color swapped? upside down? stills? mocap? slowed down, sped up, stretched or warped? And they found that cats could continue to recognize videos of animals even when they were just a skeletal ball-and-socket model, so long as they still moved like the animal.

Cats can recognize animals by only their structure and their motion. I wonder if a cat would be able to see a cat in this, too?

being kicked is so brutal and impersonal it's kind of hotter than being punched if i'm being honest

yeah perverse intimacy is cool but sometimes contempt and repulsion that is nevertheless supplanted by contact is more erotic idk what to tell you

This is painfully American

dirtbaby2016

Americans be like it is totally normal for an entire stadium (including military members) to stand at attention while a fast food clown mascot sings the national anthem

unstablebill

when we say "it is functionally impossible to parody Americans in a way that will actually insult them" this is the sort of thing you're up against. is your sick burn funnier than corporation burger clown sing national anthem baseball game? no?? of course it isn't.
