It’s…gonna take months. Generally, Chatot continue to repeat things that get a response. So panicking, distracting, or reacting in any way actually gives the bird encouragement to repeat it more often and more loudly. If you steadfastly ignore the terms, the Pokémon will eventually stop using them.
Would there be any point in trying to teach the Chatot a bunch of other words, too, in hopes that it either dilutes the swearing or the Chatot decides that the new words get better responses and are more worth remembering?
Look at the eyes on the deep sea fish IPNOPS. They’re some of the most modified eyes ever known in a vertebrate. It’s basically lost “eyeballs” in favor of huge, concave lenses, perfect for gathering even the faintest light, possibly used to hunt bioluminescent invertebrates.
I’ve known about these since drawings of them when I was little but I never saw such clear photos of a living one before.

Is it just me or is the “body positive” movement not working? Like at all?
Other people have said this before/better, but the problem was presenting all women as beautiful as opposed to eliminating the need for women to be beautiful
It’s not working because the focus is STILL on trying to view yourself as attractive no matter how you look, instead of (as stated above) eliminating the need to feel “attractive.“
The body positive movement SHOULD be focused on bodily autonomy and taking care of your health. The best way to be “positive” toward your body is to treat it well, not by repeating some “I am beautiful” mantra over and over. You don’t have to be pretty. You don’t have to see yourself as pretty. Others don’t have to see you as pretty. PRETTY IS NOT IMPORTANT. Pretty is not your worth. You exist for you, not for anyone else’s gaze.
It’s definitely because they are babies, and something to do with their exoskeleton but that’s not quite my wheelhouse and I can’t actually find much about it on google. Maybe @speciesofleastconcern or @drhoz will know!
Insects that have just molted or been born have soft exoskeletons that haven’t hardened yet. All soft new exoskeletons are white, and only take on their colors as they harden up.
Yup! They look like they’re probably wood lice or mites of some sort. I think it’s fairly normal for bioactive tanks to have some sort of little bug in them.
Hissing cockroaches have symbiotic mites! Those lil bugs are good guys, though humans are sometimes mildly allergic to them.
Black-capped Prickadee A lot of people consider this bird cute. Whatever. They are curious and have a habit of energetically investigating everything and everyone that might possibly be a bird feeder. Their black cap and white cheeks are almost as distinctive as their bright, “chick-a-dee dee dee” call. And “Dee Dee Dee Dee!” And also, “DEE DEE DEE DEE DEE DEE DEEE!” Yeah, and I mean non-stop. If you have these little pricks in your yard, you’re getting no peace all summer.
Dee Facts:The Black-capped chickadee is a non-migratory bird, so you can forget about enjoying fall, winter and spring, too.
