dark science beyond belief
“We once had a chimp who could sort photographs of apes and human beings into two piles. Apes on one pile, humans on the other. The only trouble was, every time she got to her own picture, she put it on the pile with the human beings.”
— Dr. Geoffrey H. Bourne, Yerkes Primate Research Center. Bartlett’s Unfamiliar Quotations by Leonard Levinson, 1971 (via generic-eric)

They're the brass section
this guy is genuinely excited and happy and nobody can take that away from him but there are a few indelibly hilarious things about this video that i will not spoil

Oh shes so good at that
Riveting performance
In northern Turkey, water buffalo roam the wetlands & pick up frogs. Clever marsh frogs figured out that the hairy beasts attract flies, so they jump onto their backs to hunt down bugs. Researchers visited the Kizilirmak Delta near the Black Sea in 2012. Within a week, they recorded 10 individual buffalo carrying teams of frogs, each group numbering up to 27.
Hey anon have you seen pictures because they are simply DELIGHTFUL
You know, we’re inclined as humans to see this in one straightforward way, that the frogs are simply helping the buffalo deal with a pest…but all three of these creatures are contributing so much! The biting flies are not just prey for many creatures, but also pollinators! Like mosquitoes, the males are herbivorous and depend on nectar, though the biting females of many species will also refuel at a flower. They are likely even more important than bees in actually building these wetland habitats in the first place. By providing both nutrients and a gathering place, the buffalo is therefore also a pollinator factory! It is working together with the flies to make its habitat! It doesn’t even know this! It doesn’t even enjoy how this process happens, but it benefits from it every day!
But together, the flies and the buffalo become a frog factory! The frogs that have climbed onto the buffalo are safe from their usual predators, such as water snakes and fish, with the flies provide a constant incentive for the frogs to remain in this safe space. Now, it’s the frogs that get both nutrients and a social hangout that helps create more frogs! Even this is the most simplified possible view of everything going on here; the frogs are even strengthening the gene pool of the flies by eating the slowest and sickest first, removing parasites and pathogens from the fly’s population, which the flies would not benefit from nearly as much if the buffalo weren’t concentrating them together like this either, and then the frogs go on to keep regulating the populations of other insects while becoming prey for birds and fish, the protein from frog spawning activity is its own critical part of the food chain, the buffalo’s activity cycle altered by the flies and frogs affects the plants it eats and even where it ends up excreting fertilizer, the frogs and flies would also catch the attention of passing birds, we could just keep on going and going here.
what species of fly eats both blood and pollen? Google searches are not returning any candidates.
Not pollen, but nectar, and that’s actually the norm! Almost all the common biting flies, such as horseflies, have males that feed on nothing but flower nectar and females that feed on both nectar and blood, requiring the blood only as protein to build eggs! While many insects will eat pollen, “pollinator” generally denotes an animal attracted by the flower’s nectar, which exists as a lure and reward for animals that end up pollinating them in the process :)
at least tumblr hot takes are written by an overwhelming majority of just weird nerds and teens who don’t hang out with other gays... on twitter you can stumble upon any unbelievably bad opinion and discover it was written by an nbc showrunner who married the ceo of a startup that converts rental properties into oil wells. like at least nobody here has money or influence
#listen...tumblr is like the great mouse detective/american tail/ratatouille/rescuers rodent microcosm of reality#we live parallel lives but the stakes and consequences are proportionally tiny and sound like angry squeaking to people passing by#like#explain fandom drama to someone who isn't extremely logged on and all they will precieve is 🐀 ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ ᵐᵉᵉᵖ
Yall are like “I’m baby I’m baby” because you can’t control your sensitivity and emotions due to bad habits you developed during your teens on bpd tumblr and then see an actual baby crying in the theater while you’re watching frozen 2 because you kin elsa to cope and suddenly yall don’t like babies anymore? ok googoo gaga
Omg
Of course we can’t handle distressed babies because we ARE the distressed babies and we need adults
You’re not a distressed baby you’re an adult who writes incest fanfiction
Tumblr really has the best PvP of any social media
...the way I held my breath for the whole thing
I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he’s like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it’s what cinema needs more of
I love that several people have responded to this with “op I forgive you cause you’re Scottish but that’s not a Texan accent” which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film
Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I’m assuming it’s important to, like, Americans
we need to give this tweet more credit for im pretty sure coining "die mad about it"
checks out, thank you melanie
