Could someone ELI5 the dreamworks face?

So everything is made of little particles. These particles are too small to be seen by people. These particles are also always angry. We have yet to calm these particles down completely, but we're trying. They're so angry, they punch everything around them, and because everything around them are made of particles too, they are punched back. Particles can vent their anger on particles that are less angry by punching them more than they get punched. By doing this, they begin to punch less. However, getting punched a lot makes particles more angry, and so the particle that is the target of the punching becomes more angry until they become locked in a state of equal anger. And punching. The particles that make up your hand are usually angrier than most other particles. This is because they make up a living, warm-blooded mammal like yourself. Your particles have to be at least a certain amount of angry in order for you to live. If they ever calmed down too much, things in your body would slow down and stop, because they are fueled by the energy of the punches. That's why a lot of things feel cool. Because your particles are punching the object's particles and are therefore calming down. However, sometimes some particles are angrier than your particles. Like that stovetop. That stovetop's particles are a lot angrier than your particles. In order to calm themselves down, they began to punch your hand. Now, one of these punches alone would not do much damage. In fact, since particles are so small, it would do almost none. But billions of particles just punched your hand, and that made your particles WAY too angry. In fact, your particles started to damage each other and themselves due to their own punching, on top of the billions of punches received in that split second when you touched the stovetop. So that, billy, is why you don't fucking touch hot things. You little shit.

I need a paleontologist to explain the difference between species and dog breeds. Because rabbits and hares are different species that look similar but all cross breeding efforts die in the womb but a fucking gorgi and a great Dane can have babies together.

I know dog breeds happened because humans fucked with shit, much like how we got broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, and cabbage all technically being the same plant. Is there something below species and subspecies specifically for shit humans fucked with, like dogs and plants?

Happy New Year! (Also, conditional clips, send help.)

Happy New Year, fellow Fives!

I said "Fuck it" to seeing anyone on the holiday because it's been a hard year, and I just needed to... let it slip away. So I put on my shoes at at 11:30PM, I hit the pavement. Watched the fireworks over the city as I ran, and brought in the New Year with a run that was... not my best, but it was a run and it was exactly how I wanted to start.

And can someone, pleasepleaseplease, help me out with a few questions about radio mode conditional clips? I'm in Season 2 right now and:

1) The holiday clips. I know they exist. Are they only in the most current season, or should they exist when I'm running season 2? Because I ran on Halloween, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and was cruisin' along in Radio Mode on the 1st, and nada related to the holidays. I see the clips on my dashboard and I waaaaaant. 

2) So, that Most Depressing Clip Ever? That one. What's the actual title of it? I'm not sure if I've heard it in-game already or not, because sometimes I mix up what I've listened to "for real" and what I've just clicked on tumblr, and I just blew up my base to see if I'd get anything new and I want to check if I already got it awhile ago and forgot. I am possibly evil and spend a lot of time with my base in semi-shambles, because I am a jerk, so it may well have happened.

3) Why do my phone and ZR apparently not agree what time it is?

okay, i need help with photo storage and i don't know what the hell to do

my iphoto library is 120 gb and murdering my computer

i don't mind deleting photos that i don't need access to often because the entire thing is backed up on an external hard drive, but then, every time i want to back up new photos, i will either have to overwrite the whole iphoto library (thus erasing the deleted photos that are backed up) or make a second copy of the whole new library, thus ineffectively eating up many external hard drives with lots of copies of slightly different libraries

what am i missing, what do i do
