I respect the fuck out of this. The whole site is trying its hardest to go against every selling point the dog robots have as its selling points.

The dog robots are supposed to be autonomous, threehalves is explicitly only for being piloted by a human. The giant horns make it difficult for this machine to enter through doorways, and that is the point. Coupled with the built-in weak points, it is very easy to disable this thing, so it can't be used by the police or the military effectively.

OP alluded to how unsettling the machine looks, and I believe that it was a concious decision; the robot dogs have garnered sympathy due to their apperance, which makes it easier for the police to morally justify their use. This thing? You're not gonna get many people to sympathise with it. The only people who would are monster and-or robot fuckers, and I believe these circles generally understand that a machine cannot be trusted (though of course many would willingly approach it for pervert reasons (positive) knowing full well it's a bad idea).

This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.

Why do kiwis have such massive fucking eggs “it’s because they are related to ostriches and-“ yeah ok but like why didn’t they evolve smaller eggs if I was in charge I would do that shit pronto. Thoughts?

their big eggs are actually that size for a similar reason to human babies having massive heads!! being bigger at birth can be important.

kiwi are trying SO HARD to become mammals. fur-like feathers, whisker-like feathers, little beady eyes, nocturnal, great sense of smell.... that's basically a mammal!! they're well suited for life on the forest floor.

their big eggs work alongside these adaptations to give them a leg up in the bird world. their young hatch already feathered! they're precocial, which means they're born with the ability to open their eyes and move around. like foals.

big egg = more powerful offspring from the get-go. babies don't need to spend precious time vulnerable while they develop on the ground when they've already done all that in the egg!

(unfortunately, with the introduction of mammals to aotearoa, these adaptations are a little less useful...)

Important addition: baby kiwi come out of the egg looking like they've come out of a shower with a hangover

[assortedinsanities]

They look like one of the downsides of emerging from an egg fully formed is how aware you are off just having come out on egg. First minute alive, already dealing with some fucking experience.

i loooove little moments of human connection. i love it when a stranger has something good happen to them and you get to be a part of the celebration for a moment. i love it when it starts raining and you and a stranger get to say wow its really coming down out there! i love it when something happens and you and a stranger get to share a look. i will never see you again but we did experience something together and for just a moment we were a pair! i genuinely live for that shit

The thing about doing parts work in therapy that I have noticed is that right at the bottom of every feeling is a fundamental human fear, which in my head translates as just a tiny prehistoric mammal, like a possum, in a tree, screaming, because it doesn’t want to die scared and alone.

So now whenever I have a strong emotional response to something, I stop and go, “Wait, is this actually the possum?” And 99% of the time I can successfully detach myself from it because, you know, it’s just possum thoughts.

But I also can’t verbalise this to my therapist because it sounds SO WEIRD.

i know that mr. darcy gets a lot of flack for delivering the apparent worst proposal ever, BUT he does not weave an elaborate gaslighting web of lies about how he's going to send his intended (who has no idea she's his intended) to ireland to be a governess to five children while he marries someone else, and so i humbly request mr. rochester usurp king darcy in this department

[thebeethatkilledyourdad]

Darcy: Your family kinda fucking sucks but I guess I can overlook that.

Rochester: LOL I was just fucking with that snob Miss Ingram to mess with both your heads. She’s the actual worst; let’s get married immediately. PS definitely don’t talk to that guy who has a secret history with me who randomly showed up at my house.
