Jumping spiders (I think it's a jumping spider) just kinda be like that. They're very cute but also very twitchy.

Crocs are kinda magic. Try running with them while wearing socks in """sport mode""". In my experience it actually makes you run faster because the foam is fairly springy. I can run fast enough that I can't keep up with my feet and risk tripping.

Why do you care what people wear on their feet? lol

I pretty much only downvote people if they're being a dick or seem to be deliberately spreading misinformation. I don't like "downvote=disagree" because it seems like it helps polarize people.

I wonder if their tendency to appearance before an earthquake is just coincidence, or if there are signs, like changes in water temperature, changes in current, bursts of electromagnetic energy, etc, that can indicate that an earthquake is going to occur several days in advance; and oarfish are sensitive to it, resulting in them surfacing and dying from depressurization.

Team Fortress 2? That was the game Overwatch was kinda imitating, so might be worth trying it out if you haven't. Just keep in mind that you might have to avoid matchmaking and manually browse for servers. TF2 was having a bot problem, I dunno if valve ever fixed it.

Interestingly, the wikipedia article on glyphosates says basically nothing about their role in Parkinson's and instead focuses on debunking cancer claims.

Absolutely not suspicious at all.

Add a bald head with a barcode on the back and you don't even need charisma.

I wonder how many of the people pushing it believe in some variation of Roko's Basilisk. Either that or they believe AI is going to enhance their data collection abilities; and that if everyone pushes AI together, there won't be any AI-less options and the consumer will be trapped into giving someone even more data than they already do.

In an email to ticketholders of Sunday's performance, the MSO said it did not condone the use of its stage as "a platform for expressing personal views", and apologised for any "offence and distress" caused by the comments.

But... That's art in a nutshell.

Imo people aren't buying enough lab gems. Diamonds can come from all kinds of fucked up places, but lab gems can only come from laboratories. Like, they literally don't naturally exist on earth. They can do all kinds of cool things too, like fluoresce or change color under UV light or depending on the angle that you're viewing it at. They're vastly superior to diamonds for jewelry purposes but they're not very common so the only affordable ones tend to be cast-offs.

They probably don't care about their kids, and the ones who do probably think their money will protect them and their kids when the time comes.

Tbh, I think billionaires believe they're normal or are a somehow superior breed. They may not realize how disgusting their behavior is and that humans are getting really sick of them; and that no, most humans would absolutely not behave like them if given the chance.

Maybe don't eat that strawberry. If it's collecting a nice coat of chest hair then it might be time to throw it out.

Edit: I can't get over how smug that man looks about his chest hair. He expects for you to be impressed, and ngl, I kinda am.

The awkward kiss almost convinced me it was real. Almost. The kneeling photo is a bit jank and hard to believe, but the kiss being so awkward is so believable that it almost convinced me lol.

I already am! (Kinda)

I'm just amazed at the idea that a chemist would put anything in a lab near their mouth. Like, even ignoring acids, there are so many nasty chemicals that are toxic on a measure of parts-per-million or parts-per-billion that I'd be too concerned about accidentally getting a molecule on my lips. I remember reading about how dimethylmercury is so nasty that if you come into contact with it your only chance of survival is to grab a butcher knife and immediately hack off the contaminated limb (that's kinda hyperbole, but it's nasty shit).

Then you have basically anything that contains fluorine.

Maybe those were the days before they discovered the "instantly kill you dead with a single molecule" chemicals.

Whyyyyyyyyy. What the fuck, lol.

Right, but how many of those reactions were because the animal thought they were looking at another animal, as opposed to reactions because they're seeing themselves in an unexpected place?

I mean, I bet many animals can see their own reflection when they go to get water; if you only ever saw your reflection in puddles or lakes, it'd be potentially terrifying to suddenly see yourself materialize in the middle of the jungle.

Edit: imagine going about your day and suddenly your reflection just appears. You've never seen your reflection somewhere other than the surface of the water; and that was distorted and ripply. Now your reflection is in the jungle, clear and lifelike, without a drop of water in sight. This is potentially a huge change in your little world. Your mind breaks and reality crumbles. Your awareness comes and goes, hypnotized by your reflection as you hiss in fear. You are not sure how long it has been. Seconds become hours, you live, staring into the abyssal depths of your own pupils. What eldritch horrors lay behind those eyes? What monster could distort reality in this manner? So much time has passed over such a small timespan. You've lived out thirty lives now. Thirty cycles of life, death and rebirth. Suddenly, time snaps back and in a moment of lucidity, you smack the mirror and your reflection distorts, freeing you from your reflection's spell so you can run away and live another day.

You know, something like that.

Why is no. 5 drinking her own bathwater? The blurry transition between her blue shirt and her neck makes it look like she's up to her neck in water, and she has a straw.

I've always wondered how many animals can pass the self-recognition test, but either A) they don't do it immediately so they don't get counted as passing, or B) they just don't give a fuck.

Edit: or C) they get excited by their own reflection despite knowing it's themselves. Or D) they think you're doing some kinda crazy magic by showing them an image of themselves which is why they act like the mirror is showing a different animal (fear and/or aggression).
