male bees' testicles explode

there's literally a fucking ice-cream cone pokemon

maybe OP has elf ancestry? physics doesn't really apply to them so maybe they can see into the past

1 milligram of dietary fiber and the diuretic effect, and that's the only way they can poo

i forgot to renew my subscription and now i'm asexual :(

the whole point of duty time is that it has basically the same end result, and no full blast then waiting is not the same thing as shorter bursts over a longer time..

2 dial supremacy, effect and time is all you need.

one wonders why nature saw fit to give us pain receptors throughout the urethra, like was that necessary?
surely like a centimeter in would have sufficed?

that's not viewing history search though?

it makes fun of the expectation that people get married so yes

AFAIK bread was quite a bit more expensive in the past, since baking involved getting up hours in advance to start a fire inside the massive earthen oven, not to mention that all the other parts of making flour were also way more difficult than they are now..

I think it might be comparable to meat these days? Something that everyone eats, but at the same time most people on some level realize that it's actually pretty fucking expensive and they should eat less of it, but it's just so normalized and tastes good so they just keep eating it every day.

(And for reference meat in the past would have been much more of a luxury, not in that people were vegetarians or anything but they'd just have less meat in every meal and they wouldn't turn their nose at organs and "low quality" stuff like we do.)

it's always good to see people freak out about therapists doing their job...

looks like another cockchafer victim, always a sad sight

as if anyone living with a cat isn't infected anyways

it's for when the brown note hits

hey we granted ourselves this wish! now they're not "wars" anymore, just armed conflicts!

aside from harvesting stuff from the seafloor i can't think of any situation where holding your breath for more than 5 minutes is particularly helpful

but on the flipside being able to hold my breath for 5 minutes would be real neat

you're thinking of like, being choked, i presume. the difference is that choking directly cuts off bloodflow to the brain, but if the bloodflow isn't disturbed then there's a decent bit of oxygen stored in the air in the lungs and in the blood itself.

this is how animals like whales can dive for hours at a time, they store oxygen in their blood.

The thing that actually makes you feel the need to take a breath is buildup of CO2, not lack of oxygen. My understanding is that holding your breath isn't really about the amount of oxygen you have but rather how long you can resist the urge to breathe, though presumably at these extremes they do have to pay attention to how they feel and abort if they start feeling tired or whatever low oxygen does to you.

also like, yes i'm sure our soles have evolved to be great absorbtion pads, not like we'd ever step on bad things in the wild

all i can say is that i've been barefoot for a couple years now and.. it's fine? never really had an issue beyond cold and sharp gravel (especially when it's on a hard surface)
