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 <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

Cormorant fishing in Yangshuo near Guilin, Guangxi, China. Christian Vaisse

Cormorant fishing is an old tradition in which fishermen use trained cormorants to catch fish.

[berrytart]

okay yeah i do think your filler is off putting and your botox makes you rigid and strange to look at

[tomatoinyourgarden]

I know you think it’s “feminist” to hate on women who already have self esteem and image issues (through no fault of their own, as a direct result of patriarchy) for doing something to help them cope with their fleeting youth - which may or may not have been stripped from them against their will due to years of depression, abuse, oppression, or whatever else - but the truth is that the freedom to get Botox is actually a right feminists have fought for - whether intentionally or unintentionally. Women used to get thrown away when we outlived our youth and beauty - now we have the option to prolong it and change the way we are perceived and treated by society as a whole. We ALL had to grow up too fast. We ALL have to cope with a childhood that ended too soon. I’m no less a feminist than you are simply because I choose to hold onto my youth and beauty because it helps me feel better about my own loss of innocence. This is all just another excuse to hate on women and tear us down. You’re literally letting the patriarchy win by judging women for their personal choices which harm absolutely no one. Please grow up. Not everyone is conventionally attractive or ages gracefully. Some women can cope with that and some can’t. Both deserve love and respect. Have some decency. You’re not edgy for this. You’re hating just like a man would.

Feminists … have fought… for the right … to use Botox…..

If you met someone with the same last name as you, how surprised would you be?

Not at all, it's very common

A little surprised, but wouldn't immediately assume a connection

I would be surprised and assume there was some relation

I would be very surprised that I *hadn't* met this person, we must be related

Does anyone else with this last name even exist?

[paper-mario-wiki]

seeing shockingly few people understand this very basic idea so i made this flowchart to help you determine when and if it's okay to shapeshift into another person.

VERY SIMPLY STUFF PEOPLE!!!! I DONT KNOW HOW SOME OF YOU KEEP FORGETTING!!!

[ellienamored]

okay but what if im doing a bit. just so i can be like "oooo look at me i'm so-and-soooo" and make fun of them. if it's really funny. it wouldnt work without the shapeshifting i swear

[paper-mario-wiki]

people use this as an excuse way too often!!!!!!

for people with static bodies, you have to understand how personal their facade is to their identity, and how traumatizing it can be for them to be stolen from them, even as a "joke".

[bardboys]

genuinely cannot believe the attitude some shapeshifters here have towards static beings... like. you're mad at us for saying you shouldn't shift into someone without asking first?? be fucking for real right now. if you shift into a real person you literally take a piece of their consciousness in your own to be able to channel their visage. it's incredibly fucking disorienting to have a literal piece of you ripped away from your consciousness for g-d knows how long for someone else to play a silly prank (not to mention how fucking awful it is to have your visage used for something you would never do) and if too many people shift into you at once it can have incredibly damaging repercussions!! like literally ripping your soul from your body and killing your physical form. thats literally what happened to elvis. so many people started impersonating him and it fucking killed him. if any of the shifters on this site ever actually did any research on static people they would know this but they don't care because static pain is only a big funny joke to them 🙄

[paper-mario-wiki]

THANK YOU. i try not to speak for statties too often (im not sure if i can say that word but "static beings" is kind of a mouthful, plz lemme know if thats not ok), but so many people literally act like you didn't see the heartbreaking footage of Elvis pushing through his final show while his soul escaped his body!! as if it isn't compulsive in the American school system to watch that footage in grade 8!!!

and most people just FORGAVE john lennon for straight up SOLICITING SHIFTERS IN HIS AUDIENCE TO TAKE ON THE FORM OF ELVIS WHILE HE WAS ALSO PERFORMING A CONCERT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME AS HIM. i mean, he was shot about it eventually but nowadays people talk about him like he didnt basically kill a man live on stage.

it's fucking gross honestly and not enough people take this shit seriously.

[ospreyonthemoon]

Hey, quick question. What do you mean "or place"???

Are you like, shapeshifting into the titanic or something? The leaning tower of piza?

[paper-mario-wiki]

it's not my job to educate you.

Afternoon nap dream -

We're hopelessly lost in the desert. No food, no water, no map, but I have a copy of the play People, Places, and Things by Duncan Macmillan. We walk and walk and walk and for a while we keep each other's spirits up but, obviously, eventually we start to lose it. You're singing and laughing and I eat the playscript. Why isn't the sun moving in the sky.

Just as we start to give up. Lo, an oasis! As we approach, the pool disappears and two figures appear before us. One is a large, strong, suspiciously woman-shaped cactus with the most armour-like prickles you've ever seen. The other is Uszka. Uszka opens his mouth and speaks!

"You must choose."

I suppose we implicitly understand that we have to make this decision without any further information about the cactus or Uszka. What is he doing in the desert anyway?

We argue about it for hours until you finally have had enough. You jump up and in an instant, rip a limb off the woman-cactus. You use your teeth. The prickles are horrible and stuck inches deep in you. You've been bloodied, but all you're worried about is the water inside. There isn't much but it does keep coming.

I don't choose so much as flee from the sight of this. I rush past Uszka, and when I look down I realize I'm not running any longer, but riding the dog. He has grown to the size of a camel...

aaaand then I woke up

[hollowedskin]

I got a 4 min long video of Kimchi dreaming today, so here's a clip

You get the whole walk cycle and the little sprint at the end.

Sometimes her sprints last for like 4 or 5 seconds and she can shoot herself off the couch or into a wall if she gets a grip with her back claws. If she does it next to a wall, her head smacking into it sounds like someone is trying to break into the house. She doesn't wake up.

Later in the dream she injured her paw and was limping, and earlier she caught something and ate it.
