what was the largest land predator?

Andrewsarchus! They were hoofed mammals related to pigs, entelodonts ("hell pigs") and hippos, and they're known from one enormous skull. Reconstructions of them are pretty inconsistent -- some artists seem to really want them to look like wolves or at least thylacines, but this is just not ... a particularly furry clade. Also, how jacked up were their shoulders? More pig, or more hippo? We just don’t know.

By Roman Uchytel.

And the most ridiculous one, apparently by Belgian taxidermy company Masai Gallery:

The largest land mammals were a group of hornless rhinoceri named Indricotheriinae and the largest vertebrates, period, are whales. Ungulates are incredibly variable and VERY GOOD at getting HORRIFYINGLY LARGE.

(To the Jedi, his mother’s traditions were just one more attachment to release into the Force. So he kept them hidden, safe and secret (he thought) like his love for Padme. The Jedi were wrong, in the end - attachment to his faith and his son saved him. Too late to redeem himself, maybe, but his children - his children would be free.)

how?

The trick is to use  enough big words to indicate you’re on his level, but not as many as you might like because that would trigger a fight response.

Rich white people who don't think they're rich will brag about getting something for cheap, and their definition of "cheap" is usually bullshit. Source: I'm white and my rich parents don't think they're rich.

a valid source, thank you. :D

Ship that you find most sexy:

Braca/Scorpius/Sikozu. I mean, good lord. I can’t even describe... That’s a lie. A good portion of my academic research has been about how fucking hot these three are together and what that means for society. And I’ve written unforgivable smut about them.

They are just epic. God help me.

Ship that you find disgusting:

I have a strong gut reaction to anything involving Kel4s P4rm4k. It’s not the character but the character’s position within fandom. Like, I get it, folks. You want to ship Garak with someone but you don’t want to write about a man of color. There’s a general in the new Star Wars trilogy that you just gotta meet.

Ship that you used to have as an OTP:

I used to ship Hank/Monroe from Grimm. Until Monroe, like every other person on the show besides Wu, failed Hank miserably. I have since come to my senses and started shipping Hank/Wu.

Here. We can suffer together.
