  • Besides sharks like the other commenter said, there's a type of fish called "livebearers" who do indeed fuck and internally inseminate

    They give birth to fully formed babies vs laying eggs and fertilizing them externally. A fascinating animal that falls in the category is the Amazon molly which gives birth to clones of itself

  • Had to once double check "the" because I'd been talking to friends about how words eventually lose meaning they're overused. The example was to just say it repeatedly while thinking of the word in your head, and eventually the concept of the word the loses any tangible meaning

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation is the phenomenon

  • That was a fantastic video, thank you!! And yes the curator was amazing. The shade one can throw when using posh language..!

    Beyond the curator, the music selection and timing was brilliant; I'll check out some more videos. Thanks again!

    Editing to add: that guy is an absolute gem. I watched some others and has brought to my life a joy I didn't know I was missing

  • About 20 years ago

    I went to my family Christmas with my then-partner. I got a Grinch onesie from my family

    We then attended my partner's family Christmas where basically the entire living room was stuffed with presents for the kids (my partner and their siblings). My then-partner complained about how the siblings all got more $$ worth of presents. I pointed out that I got a pair of pjs for Christmas. The reply: "it's not about the dollar amount, it's just they got more than me" (paraphrased)

    I hated that present. A fucking onesie? It was such a disappointing present, and for a long time I used it as an example for questions just like this

    I kept it and wore it. Eventually I lost the bitterness and started to cherish it even. Which is why I still wear it regularly this time of year! It's quite warm.. plus, it has pockets!

    Grinch tax:

  • I'm very sorry I didn't think of this context. I wasn't being daft intentionally, it just didn't occur to me when I was trying to figure out the situation

    I can understand now. Thank you for sharing and gently explaining the situation

    (I'm also very, very sorry to have implied your mother had cheated in that scenario. I did not mean to cast shade on her character)

  • It's not exactly what you asked, but I'm a little high: if you could decouple the propulsion systems you could go faster. Just like you can't dangle a magnet in front of a boat to get it to move while it is attached to the same boat

    But it reminds me of this:

    An article-

    And a video(s)-

    Edit:

    Also, looking at the picture again and rereading what you wrote: I feel like it'd be like the difference between a person walking parallel to a person walking on a conveyor belt that's running the same direction they are. Something would be moving you along as you are also moving.

    I back that up with the fact the elephant will only have one foot off the ground while walking same as a human would, and their spiderbowl feet would keep it moving forward at a constant rate same as the conveyor would

  • I love guinea pigs. They are absolutely chill; capybaras and guinea pigs seem to be the same animal sized in xs and xl

    I had one I used to hold in my arm like a football or a baby. His head would be in the crook of my arm and I'd hold his butt in my hand and he'd drape his back legs over my arm. He would stay like that for hours he was so content

    I don't have any pictures of him handy, but he was adorable. Calico colored with short hair up front and long hair in back. And he was a big boi! He wasn't fat, just grew very large

  • Oh my God that's wonderful. I haven't been in this light of a mood for a while, I'm nearly crying laughing at that. Hopefully there's more like that. Though if there is, I gotta be careful or I might fall in love

  • A part of me actually wished that the Onion would have purchased InfoWars, but in secret, like maybe under a subsidiary corp that has a right-wing sounding name.

    "Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. "

    don't change Infowars' branding

    "Founded in 1999 ... InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses.

    ...

    InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.

    No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. ... a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars."

    I'm absolutely not disagreeing with you; I believe the onion will continue on doing "its thing" and keeping on-brand for both entities. Do exactly what you say and publish articles either believable or outlandish enough to break through to people
