“The point of officially naming a pet is not to actually use that name but to have a baseline from which to come up with every conceivable nickname to call them instead.”

Do they not have skulls!? Why is it mushy there!?!? @bunjywunjy

[bunjywunjy]

well of course beluga has a skull!! that's just not where it is.

see, you wouldn't necessarily pick up on this, but beluga skulls (and most cetacean skulls in general) are pretty much

flat...

so what's going on up there? well, most of the beluga's head is taken up by soft tissue and a large organ called the melon, which is basically a big ol waterballoon of semiliquid fat!

(boob. it's a head boob.)

this organ is found in every toothed whale and dolphin species on the planet and it's INCREDIBLY important, because the melon is what lets them echolocate!

the actual sound-producing organ is inside their nasal passage of all places, which sits up behind there, but the melon is what's actually used to fine-tune the soundwaves into the laser-accurate pinpoints that dolphins and toothed whales are so famous for.

tldr: without their head boob, belugas and their relatives would be literally flying blind!

[puppetbilly]

does slapping the melon like that hurt it ? like does it affect how it works or anything

[proteus-no]

@weirdgirlwambsgans @vampire-juicebox you guys are in luck bc it does not! Belugas will squish their melons voluntarily against things like rocks and glass. Think of it like when you squish your butt (but at the same time not, bc they have no nerve endings beyond the skin) they even voluntarily let humans play with it!

This is a strong creature, if that hurt or bothered it, you would know

much like the way the Italians exported pizza and the Americans ruined/perfected it for the Italians to import it back again and then re-export the “authentic” product back to America, so the British took tea from Asia and ruined/perfected it by adding milk and sugar then Asia took that and ruined/perfected it by adding tapioca bubbles and even more sugar and exported it back again.

being nonbinary and a fan of non-human creatures isn’t easy. like i’m constantly struggling with the fact that i’m both like “i wish there was more enby representation in humans” and “i’m the same gender as mewtwo and that fucking rips”

[ckret2]

the tension between “representing NBs only as nonhuman characters is dehumanizing and othering” and “but monsters, aliens, and robots are so much cooler than humans”

Keep seeing pronoun positivity posts is about he/they and she/theys. That's cool and all but this one's for the she/hes. If you're a she/he I love you and you can take as much mint as you want from our garden

[elldritch-horror]

Is this a positivity post or a secret cry for help? OP, how bad is the mint situation?

[rasairui]

It's both the mint situation is fucking severe

The story behind how March of the Gladiators actually became associated with clowns is actually kind of amazing. So when circuses were becoming a thing the performers needed a way to keep in contact and keep organized. So the bands would have certain songs that they would perform that meant different things that the cast knew but the audience didn't. IIRC March of The Gladiators was a signal that there was an issue that needed to be resolved before the next act could go on and for the Clowns to come out and do some improvisational bits in order to keep the audience entertained.

[marlynnofmany]

That is fascinating, on par with the thing about sailors going to work in the theater, and whistling to each other like they did on the ships -- which led to the superstition about not whistling on stage or else you might get a sandbag dropped on your head.

I love learning the answers to questions I never thought to ask.

[saybyebus]

While we’re on the subject, the song Stars and Stripes Forever is circus code for “it’s an emergency; get the patrons out NOW.”
