Maybe proto-Cookie Monters lived high on the treetops and forward facing eyes allow them to see in three dimensions and to judge accurately distance and depth.

Sorry but we need you to do your part. Can't do it without you ;)

If you like reading, maybe a half-way solution could be achieved with book lungs like a spider.

Just let the old ticker get some time off.

Afaik whales have more spindle neurons than we do: https://www.science.org/content/article/well-wired-whales

Part of the plan

A hairdresser? Oh, they're catching on. I hope Ukraine can hold until it all comes crumbling down.

Oh wow, the new Bioshock sounds great, though the antagonist is pretty clichéd.

Enormous if true.

I'm too young for a life in crime.bat

The lowest of low efforts.

Pierre Poilievre is so brave for showing us their meetings unedited.

The sound of a baby or toddler's head against a wooden surface that would make me shudder.

Honestly, I didn't know what to do. We saw this car with big puffs of thick dark smoke coming out of it by the road, we stopped and I went for the extinguisher in my trunk, tried to operate it (I was clueless). But when I reached the other car, in seconds just burst into flames on the inside and saw the driver burning so I went to open the handle and it was like trying to lift a frying pan out of an open fire (got a nasty burn for a while).

I felt powerless, useless, I could see the scene by just closing my eyes for months, remembering the sound of it and definitely the worst part was the smell. I often wonder what I should have done differently that could have helped that person (breaking the glass with the extinguisher, carrying and using a window breaking tool, forgetting about the extinguisher at all and just bolting straight to the car to take him out of it..)

The scenario will repeat at nauseam in my head every time I drive and see a stopped car or look at an extinguisher or someone mentions a fire or an accident.

Note: this happened a long ago with an old car, maybe cars nowadays aren't as flammable.

I love talking about animals and your comment helped me discover this: https://tomsbigspiders.com/2024/03/02/old-word-vs-new-world-tarantulas/

:)

p.s. that's only for new world tarantulas and just for some of them, thought having that defensive mechanism makes them a bit more chill than their old world cousins.

Not that old world tarantulas are always more aggressive, but their only safety mechanism is speed and burrowing or as a last resort biting with a stronger venom.

More than once improper housing like shallow terrain and bright lighting stresses out spiders that otherwise would borrow or hide under bark, make them more aggressive that they would be in nature.

At the end of the day, tarantulas are often the prey of vertebrates, not the other way around.

If you can't handle me at my urticating hairs, then you don't deserve me at my furry paws.

touch your genitals.

Please go to the principal's office.

Python sci devs sweating bullets looking at this.

Because he is someone that has kept his values since day zero, and while his peers kept getting richer through kickbacks lobbying, he did what he preached.

Either when my first baby fell out of bed followed by a big clonk, or when I tried to get someone out of a car in flames.

My eldest is fine, that guy didn't make it and I will never forget the smell.
