Convergent evolution is wild, bc like, crabs keep evolving to look the same but arenāt closely related, nature is just like: BIG MEATY CLAWS, little legs, pincers, head, tiny eyes, letās do it again!
and trees look the same but oak trees are more closely related to rose bushes than they are pine trees, fucked up
nature just likes these damns shapes:
but on the other hand, mammals flying with powered flight??Ā That shit only happened ONCE and it had to do some janky shit to get there, especially with bat immune systems
like batās immune systems are HYPER-POWERED as well as repress most of their inflammatory reactions because in order to fly they needed a bonkers-high metabolic rate which unfortunately also create waste products from the process calledĀ āfree radicalsā that damage cells
however, despite these free radicalsĀ they manage to live up to FORTY YEARS, which is super long for a species their size, because their immune system are basically always ON and in an anti-viral state that make them incubators for disease due to warfare between their jacked immune systems and diseaseĀ
bats are so gdamn weird, I love them, no other mammal has been able to copy off their homework and accomplish the same shape, and for that they are the anti-crab of the natural world, God bless
It really worked out for them too, like itās a hell of a lane and they have it all to themselves, so theyāve really filled their niche.Ā There are more bats than almost any other kind of mammal. Like, there are a higher number of individual bats, but also the most KINDS of bat.
For example there are about 30 million white-tailed deer alive in the world, whereas there are 15 million Mexican free-tailed bats living in ONE single colony in Texas. But also, there are about 43 species of deer on the whole planet, 38 species of feline, 34 species of canineā¦Ā and about 1,300 species of bat.
It is estimated that one out of every five living mammals on Earth is a bat, or, to put it another way, if you took every single mammal on the planet and counted them as individuals, 20% of those animals would be some kind of bat.
Hey! I'm looking to move to Copenhagen in mid-august to start my masters in global health at U of Copenhagen. I'm looking for a room in a shared apartment with rent below or around 5,000 DKK.
I'm 22 years old, from India and quite clean. I'm sociable and love to meet new people but I'm also the kind who needs her space and privacy so you can be assured I'll respect yours just as much. I love reading, swimming, dancing and cooking quick yet hearty meals (not only Indian but i do hope you're open to trying some of my comfort foods from home). I'm quite disciplined and find a lot of comfort in my routines so you'll find me to be dependable with my timings and deadlines.
I'll also be looking for student job asap to cover any extra expenses.
Please let me know if you know or have any availabilities or reblog for reach.
Thank you!

17-18.03.21 // 28-29/100 days of productivity
i keep forgetting to post oops i swear i have actually done some work over the past weekš
120520. early mornings & late nights. just wrapped up the last week of classesā now all that's left are my finals next week and i'm off for a month :,)
tumblr staff just intrigues me. remember when they designed a guy fieri banner that linked to his wiki or whatever for his birthday? and now they have a whole themed world sleep day promo. someone sat in an office somewhere and said, "you know what our userbase wants? to celebrate guy fieri's birthday. you know what we should encourage our users to do? log off and go to sleep." i am fascinated by these decisions. i would love to be a fly on the wall in a staff meeting, just once. who are these people and how do their minds work.
I'm very busy this week!!! š¼šš¤

For the past two weeks Iāve been feeling a flood of anxiety and havenāt slept very well. This time it wasnāt because of work, but because I was (and I guess I still am) feeling very confused about my feelings. And then there was guilt. Today I woke up feeling a little better, had a productive morning and was able to accomplish what I had aimed to do for the day. I felt like sharing these pics with you because I feel very proud for coping with my anxiety right now and also because it was a long time since I hadnāt made any illustrations with ballpoint pen and had forgotten how fun it can be!
Had my English certification exam today, and the city it took place in is really starting to look like spring.
Also, here is a picture of me(my skin isn't that great right now)
Being 20+ is basically a constant question of āam I doing enoughā and the answer always being a solid ānoā

Podcastle AI - Turns any article into a podcast. This is a lifesaver for being able to process what Iām reading, to be honest.

LanguageTool - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who regularly type in more than one language.
Grammarly - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who only type in English. Can be used with LanguageTool installed, which is what I do.
Google Dictionary - Define any word on the webpage with a double-click.
Google Translate - Translate an entire webpage or even just a short segment.
Misc:
AdGuard AdblockerĀ - After trying quite a few adblocker options, this is the one I find the best.
The Great Suspender - Automatically suspend inactive tabs to help with performance.Ā
Honey - Try coupon codes automatically to save money on online purchases.
Built-in Chrome tab grouping - Group your tabs to keep organized and minimize distracting clutter.
