  • Me with a degree in wildlife conservation!

    Yet finding work is almost fucking impossible and dealing with the bureaucracy of job hunting is so overwhelming, my unmedicated AuDHD ass cannot keep up.

  • Unfortunately I have no hope of this happening in our lifetime. Maybe the lifetime of the next generation, but with climate change on the horizon, I have little hope for that as well.

  • This was fun researching and theorizing. Thanks for asking.

    We experience brain freezes when a sharp temperature drop comes into contact with the roof of the mouth and back of the throat, causing the blood vessels to constrict, which in turn causes the arteries in the brain to expand. It isn't exactly clear where the "pain" comes from though; it is theorized that the arterial wall's expansion triggers the trigeminal nerve (relays sensory info between face and brain) and is registered as a pain sensation.

    Shark anatomy is entirely different in structure, such as they don't have the same complex nervous system. Also, considering they are ectotherms, their body responds in completely different ways to changes in temperature than we do.

    So considering what we know about shark physiology and the current theory on the mechanics behind "brain freezes", probably not.

  • Fast hands don't mean anything if the DM says to reroll cause the first didn't count due to being rolled without being called for.

    Now the little detail that the garden has a hedgemaze and you weren't directly attending the dinner party changes things. Guess you kick a cat. So that happened... Anyways.

  • Now see this is my pet peeve, how can you roll high before the DM can object? You shouldn't be rolling before the DM calls for a roll.

    If DM'ing, I wouldn't have even called for one. I'd just have said you successfully punt the cat and everyone hears it scream in agony. Good luck talking your way out and staying at the party. 🤷

  • You know how human teeth have those prong bits that anchor into the gums, the "root"? Inside those are the nerve canals: spaces filled with a pulp that nerve endings run through.

    Shark teeth don't have these canals in their root. Their teeth aren't anchored into the gums and don't connect to any nerve endings.

  • This. While those deaths were notable and tragic, they weren't "celebrity deaths", which pains me to even say, but it is true.

    Greta is essentially an international celebrity at this point, not just some noteworthy activist. Her death would be much more noticeable throughout the modern zeitgeist than a random activist who happened to be American.

  • He is the lead singer of "30 Seconds to Mars". That's where his fame came from originally.

    His appearance in movies has always been a weird "let's shove this famous guy from one media into this other one for publicity" kinda thing. Then for some reason he just stayed doing movies and here we are.
