That means we see snakes similarly to the way their predators do.
From a different perspective, the bee mimic orchid only vaguely looks like a bee to us, but it still successfuly tricks bees, so image accuracy isn't the only factor. Both mimics can give us interesting insughts into how other animals see the world.
And my mates Ceres and Sedna! And Orcus, Makemake, Haumea, Eris (which started this whole deal), Gonggong, Quaoar, Salacia, Leleākūhonua, and at least 40 undiscovered Sednoids. Vesta, Pallas, Hygeia, and Interamnia probably counted at one point too!
At some point it stops being gatekeeping and is just another kingdom entirely.
I think that time will lose its sense of unidirectionality at some point
I actually have no idea how to conceptualize this. Every theory about the far future I've heard has assumed that time will move forwards, even if there's hardly anything happening. Would a point where time changes flow back propagate to cause universe destruction before that happens? Would dark energy just rip everything apart? Is time driven by dark energy? Would everything just stop? Would some component of space become the new time? The Lorentz diagrams, they do nothing! Penrose can't save me now!
Yeah, repeat ads are the worst. One of the best targeting thing that could be done is simply prevent seeing the same ad more than once in a 24h period. It would do so much to make the hellscape a little more bearable.
I even left ads on for nearly a year until a particularly metally hazardous on pushed me to turn them off, and I haven't gone back since. On the occasion I use YT outside my ecosystem, it suddenly feels so much worse.
Speaking of android, Blockada has been great on my phone. It's like a PiHole or uBlock Origin for the whole incomming network data, like AB++ used to be nearly a decade ago.
Oh, I see! For many people it's just not something they notice, and it often doesn't happen unless there's a pressure difference. For other people, ears pop every time they yawn, or even eat. And lots of people can pop their ears manually in the same way people can flare their nostrils or wiggle their ears.
Lots of people can pop their ears on demand by flexing the muscles that open the tube. Those muscles are the same ones that flex when yawning and sometimes when chewing.
If your ears are always popping, I don't think that's necessarily bad, but maybe you're more susceptible to ear infections? If it's not painful and has always been like that it's probably fine, but mentioning it to your doctor next time you see them won't hurt.
