Don’t fear death, fear the state in which you will die.
I was always afraid of Ohio
Not to critique evolution, but I would think orange and black stripes wouldn’t be as good for camouflage in a forest as, say, green and black would.
It turns out a lot of animals can’t see the difference between orange and green! Elephants, for instance, have dichromatic vision (two types of cones, rather than three like most humans.)
Check out this diagram from ResearchGate. It deals with the color vision of horses, who are also generally dichromatic. (I think, though I’m not sure, that zebras would have the same color vision as horses.) See how orange and green look to them?
Not to critique evolution but I think prey animals should be better at telling when their predator is dressed like a traffic cone.
It doesn’t matter what zebras see, because tigers are not native to Africa and do not naturally hunt zebra. Tigers are Asian and mostly hunt animals like deer, elk, and buffalo. These aren’t animals with great color vision. They don’t need to have it because they don’t eat fruit and so don’t need to know when the berry is ripe vs when it’s not. Good color vision is too expensive to have if you don’t need it. Deer put their vision stats in a wide field of vision that is sensitive to motion, low light capabilities, and possibly seeing UV light. They don’t have great color and lack a lot of acuity, but have a great sense of smell and good hearing. That’s way more useful if you’re prey. Deer see well in the blue end of the color spectrum and less well in the red. This makes sense because deer are most active in the dawn and dusk periods, when there is more blue in the light. Tigers are taking advantage of deer eyesight by being orange.
We see tigers are being obviously colored because tigers are fruit colored to our tree ape brains.
I don’t know what the best part of this is: implying that deer chose their attributes on a character sheet, or the fact that we get to see tiger colors because they look like a snack.
Ok but like, I think you underestimate just how well they blend in when actually in the environment. Like, just using tigers as an example.
or how about a leopard?
It’s called ‘disruptive colouration’ because the markings help to break up the animal’s outline against the grasses or rocks. And the rosettes on leopards and jaguars? Sun spots shining through the trees and leaves on the ground.
And this is how hard it is to spot them WITH colour vision. Now imagine the above images but with the limited coloured mentioned above?
I’m sorry but there is not an animal in that first leopard picture
Are you, sure about that?
Evolution is a two-way arms race. If the orangeness of a tiger were a major liability due to prey animals’ ability to see orange, tigers would not be orange.
I like this picture
Neat shadows

CRIES ;0;
Stills from the exceptional “acqua alta” (lit.“high water”), high tide in Venice 30/10/18
They all seem so chill about it
This is actually a knew thing, well kinda. Tbis high tide I believe is everyday now. Its caused by global warming and rising sea levels.
Look at the shop with the woman covering her face, behind her is a display. Everything is like that. All shops have to do that or their products get destroyed.
They look chill but there are documentaries of shop owners and citizens terrified what will be left in just 10 years. People are scared high tode will become low tide. Venice WILL be under water
This will be an issue with a lot of islands and coastal cities from florida to venice to the Philippines

this is an england hate blog
HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL? WHAT DID MY COUNTRY EVER DO TO ANYONE?!
oh sorry sweetie, i didn’t realise you still lived in the 1800s…🙄🙄
I’ve been thinking about this for days. The 1800s??? The 1800s????
The 1800s ???????????????!
what i wanna know is how captcha technology went from having to type in a barely readable code, to just. clicking a button. how does this tell you im not a robot. can robots Not press the big funky button
I know this is a shitpost but just in case you don’t know, it actually tracks the way the cursor moves. Bots can click it instantly and moving in a perfectly straight line, people take a few milliseconds to react and move the mouse imperfectly. If the computer’s still not sure whether you’re a human or not, it makes you do the 3x3 photo grid thing I never seem to get right
