Scientist 1, an absolute slut for Christmas: EARLY CHRISTMAS IS GOOD FOR YOU

Scientist 2, ready to burn every Christmas tree within a 10 mile radius because it's not even Thanksgiving yet: IF I HEAR A SINGLE JINGLE BELL, I WILL DIE

Listening to Christmas music in the comfort of your own home, on purpose: Fine! Lovely! Good for your mental health!

Working a job where you're forced to listen to the same 2-6 hour loop of soulless, regurgitated Christmas song covers (and some truly cringe worthy originals) for at LEAST 2 months straight: Bad! Not good for your mental health, actually! Especially if you're not even Christian!!

When it was discovered that Zalim (ironically meaning, cruel) was in the company of two very young cubs, those at Ranthambore feared the worst: that, as an adult male, he would kill them. Instead, he surprised naturalists with his “motherly” behavior when he took in his twin daughters following the death of their mother.

At this time, science stated that tigers were only as social as mothers and cubs could go and that tiger fathers rarely interacted with their offspring. Zalim changed that when he was witnessed, month after month, caring for his daughters and teaching them how to hunt. Their relationship eventually ceased when the two girls were shifted to Sariska Tiger Reserve and Zalim went on to father another litter with the then-dominant tigress Sundari, the so-called Lady of the Lakes. When she too mysteriously disappeared, Zalim unsurprisingly took care of their cubs as well.

Boo! No need to be afraid of this ghost, because it’s just the ghost glass frog (Sachatamia ilex). Growing up to 1.5 in (3.8 cm) long, this bright green—yet elusive—critter lives in parts of Central and South America, including Panama and Colombia. It’s found in tropical forests, where it blends in with the lush greenery. And it really blends in: This arboreal amphibian is able to “vanish” like a ghost, altering the hue of its green skin to more closely match vegetation of varying shades!

when i say deltarune is alive in a creepypasta way i’m referring to how there’s a variable in the code that makes a number go up every time you back out of deleting a save file at the last second and this variable is called “threat”

this post on bluesky has ruined my birding vocabulary. every time my friends and i see a new small bird that we have to ID later it gets labeled "wilson's little guy" until we identify it. no recovery.

it sucks being an American because people from other countries will make fun of you for liking burger and you will try to be like NO! I EAT OTHER FOOD TOO! but you can't get the words out because you're too busy salivating over the idea of burger

Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"

I wonder what he's doing now

kawareo

He also aggressively corrected himself whenever he accidentally misgendered a trans guy we knew because "there's already more women than men in the world, the more numbers we steal from them, the better." Did that even when the trans guy wasn't around.

I need to point out that he was completely serious btw. This man had no sense of humor on purpose.

He was a cook at the restaurant/bar I was a bartender at, and almost punched a costumer once because he overheard him talking about how women belong in the kitchen. Told me he thought women should stay out of kitchens, that cooking is a man's job and when I asked him what he thinks women should be doing, he went quiet for a moment, then proceeded to explain to me the following

"I trust a bitch to run a kitchen as much as she can run a country, they should do shit like plumbing. Or electricity. Something you can just learn to do and don't need to lead, you know?"

Apparently women are good at "fixing shit". He claimed that he doesn't trust male plumbers or electricians except if they're gay because "something most be wrong with you if you want to go fix other people's houses, that's that maternal instinct"
