have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

speaking of volcanology i am at my LIMIT with people thinking that yellowstone is "overdue". Its not fucking pregnant. if it ever erupts again we'll have decades if not centuries of warning. whenever theres "increased activity" there it means something vibrated a bit more or something.

and while we're on it the eruptions happening rn are also not out of the ordinary. what kilauea is doing is not a cause for alarm. volcanoes erupt all the time its a part of our planet I am losing my mind

[he-who-reads-until-dawn]

They aborted the Yellowstone super eruption because of woke

[storm-of-feathers]

this is true

[prismatic-bell]

Yellowstone is "overdue" in the sense that based on averages from its previous eruptions, we "should" have had another already. But geographic wonders aren't train schedules and don't really give a shit about what you think they should do. Saying Yellowstone is overdue is the equivalent of looking at someone who drinks coffee at 7am everyday but then dialed it back for their blood pressure, and saying "oh, they're overdue for their caffeine, the next cup is gonna be huge."

being born lonely is so fucking suffocating bc you feel like no matter what you do or who you’re with deep down you’re just not palatable to other people. something about you is so inherently other and nothing can ever dispel that. and it haunts you w every social situation you walk into but you just have to be okay w it for the rest of your life

[catlips001]

Sweden ????

[ashketchupandfries]

So Sweden used to give random citizens control over the official @Sweden Twitter account for like a day/week/month or whatever. As you can see why, it didn’t last long

[leninthesixth]

what do you mean it didn't last long they did this for like seven years between 2011 and 2018 they didn't stop doing it because someone tweeted about cock sdfgsdfgsdfgsdf they kept doing it for four more years after this

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

solve it. i dare you.

Nonograms Katana ID, if you want to play it there: #222479

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

throwback to this thingy

[coolestglalie-intoxicatedinkeep]

Fun fact about this puzzle:

Back when op first posted it, i downloaded katana to solve it and instantly got hooked on nonograms. So much so that i would spend like 5 hours a day on it. My entire world started becoming nonograms tho and it altered my perception of reality. Every room was a nonogram that my brain started to solve, the walls being the borders. There were no numbers, just nonogram logics. If i tried to not see things as nonograms i would get dizzy or nauseous. It was not fun. Had to quit cold turkey.

Then about around febuary or so i redownloaded katana, and I've been fine so far. Been pacing myself a lot better. Only like 12 hours a week if I'm into it, and that's just during dinner and winding down for the night.

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

that’s crazy

[grootficguy]

i tried explaining to this girl at a party once how i could be gay and asexual at the same time and it basically boils down to never being into anyone but like once a year i’ll find a man attractive. and she was like “so what am i if i only like girls, and i’ve never found any of my boyfriends attractive and and i just wanna do cocaine all the time?” i was like “you’re a lesbian with a coke addiction?” and she was like “woooooah”. she broke up with her boyfriend that night and had a threesome with two girls in the bathtub. rebecca if you’re out there, i hope you’re going places. well, not far, since you’re electronically tagged. but spiritually.
