Many biologists (myself included) don’t anthropomorphize animals because it’s impossible to objectively quantify things like “culture”. So, my opinion is that some fish change sex, and not their gender (because fish don’t have genders, which are human social constructs).
Happy to be corrected if I’m off-base. I’m not an ichthyologist.
Looks like a side blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana) to me.
The Midas’ touch of Sally shit fingers
All of Francoise Hardy’s album Soleil. Absolutely lovely singing voice.
Bald eagles are sometimes considered kleptoparasites, and I’ve always found that fitting for the USA.
The old 4chan way: shoe on head with handwritten date/time stamp.
20%—I feel for tip-based workers, but I’m also not running charity nor am I in a financial place in life to be tipping much higher than that.
If 20% is not in the list I will enter 20%.
When you both shit hard enough together at the same time and wonder to yourselves “was that splashback mine…?”
Quench your thirst with sausage infused water by throwing a respectable number of Vienna sausages in one of those infuser bottles.
Oh I know this game. I’ve always thought it would be funny to use raw onions in the place of apples in caramel apples and pass them out on Halloween.
I’m going to qualify this—all vertebrate eyes have a blind spot. Cephalopods also have eyes that are like vertebrates (this type of eye is called ‘camera eyes’), but their eye anatomy is such that no blind spot exists for them.
Piggybacking on your fact about the brain effectively editing what we visually perceive, we don’t see our nose (unless you made a concerted effort to look at it) because the brain ignores it.
A crow eating chicken and a human eating beef are actually really good parallels. Crows and chicken are 91 million years diverged while cows and humans 94 million years diverged.
CMD ` (backtick) will switch between application windows, if that’s what was frustrating you.
Dollar Store John Travolta: I Shit Myself Edition
Also worth noting that people tend to refer to autism as if it’s a singular set of phenotypes, when really there’s a bunch of ways that autism can manifest; hence autism spectrum disorder.
I’ve always thought sky burials are pretty cool, but as a person living in North America who has no plans to move to Tibet or take up Buddhism, that’s completely impractical. Next best thing might be for my to be placed on a body farm.
I forget which one, but one of the Between the buried and me albums has an instrumental release. Honestly, all of their albums I recommend regardless because the musicianship is excellent.
Scale the summit is more along the lines of prog metal but purely instrumental (I think).
Protest the hero is prog metal that has a near minimal amount of death growl (still some).
Animals as leaders which has been mentioned by several people.
Exivious is decent, I’m like 90percent sure they’re instrumental.
There’s a Japanese band called té, which is way more prog rock but you might like that.
Death, despite being one of the progenitors of death metal, is less intense on the death metal growl vocals. To me, early death metal in general is a bit different sounding than modern death metal. Regardless, Death has a pure instrumental song called Voice of the soul which is part acoustic. It’s probably one of the most acoustically beautiful songs written in the genre.
Worst party ever.
Somewhat related—oldies stations are like this, except with “new” songs entering the rotation periodically. Of course, when the end of the year rolls around they play the “Top 100 songs of the year” which are essentially the same set of songs in a haphazard order.
I didn’t mind it so much because it was much better than listening to the low hum of showcase coolers of a mom-and-pop grocery store. However, it was pretty jarring when I heard them play a song I distinctly remember hearing on the radio as a kid riding in the back of the van getting dropped off for 1st grade (or some such young age)
