Fun fact, hammering metal spikes into tree trunks is a federal crime in the US because environmental activists used to do it in the 80s to fuck up chainsaws and logging equipment.

So you should never use this effective strategy for disrupting logging operations because it is illegal.

Here’s a link describing exactly how to do it, so you can make sure not to by accident.

This is so fucking stupid, you guys know you’re at least seriously injuring or killing people when you do this right

yea i rb’d this earlier cuz the article made it sound like it just stopped machines and cost equipment/bought time but it’s more like they become deadly weapons against the people using them

how is it turning into a deadly weapon against loggers a bad thing

are you serious

In addition to potentially killing people who are probably just trying to earn money to eat, this kills the tree just as surely as if you’d cut it down yourself. 

Reminder

theadoptedprince:

As king, whilst pretending to be Odin, Loki did the following:

  • Pardoned Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three of their treason
  • Treated Thor as Loki himself had never been treated by their Father
  • Separated the two Infinity Stones in Asgardian protection, and gave one to another powerful being, for the sake of preventing both from being found at once or from making Asgard a higher priority target 
  • Removed Asgardian troops from the rest of the Nine and kept them on Asgard, where the Space Stone was being kept and therefore where they were most needed, whilst also creating a time of peace for Asgard
  • Pushed Asgard toward entertainments (theatre) that aren’t violent
  • Rebranded himself as a hero rather than just allowing his identity as the Jotun Prince become all that would be remembered

And that’s just what was shown.

Turns out Loki, when in charge, puts up a huge statue of himself and then does sensible things.

I hate when bird parents get mad at me for rescuing their children.

Don’t want me touching your kid? Fine, YOU crawl down there and use YOUR super-dexterous hands with opposable thumbs to gently lift your son out of this window-well. Oh, you can’t do that? Then shut up and stop swooping me, you ungrateful leftover dinosaurs.

I’m telling you elephants are chill motherfuckers. They fucking love being helpful. They once defended a man with heatstroke from a truck that came to rescue him. They knew he was sick, laying against a tree for shade. They were watching over him and petting him, and they threatened to charge the vehicle for coming towards him. Another person passed out, and elephants cried over her and buried her body in a traditional elephant funeral. (Piling branches on her). And were quite spooked when she got up later.

And an elephant was helping workers to put logs in holes for a wall. On one hole, the elephant absolutely refused to set the log in, despite being punished and goaded. Turns out there was a sleeping dog in the hole.

There are so many good elephants stories. They will even help zookeepers wash other elephants– literally, a zookeeper can be like “[Name 1], please wash [Name 2]” and he will go wash that elephant correctly.

Listen guys. Not only are elephants people, but they’re largely better people than us. I’m 10000% serious.

All the above is true, but the picture is fake. Not only is it badly photoshopped, lions are predators who will eat baby elephants if they get the chance. Elephants know this, and will try to trample lions that get too close. An elephant is absolutely not going to gently carry a lion cub, it will grab the cub and throw it away.

How do eels sleep? I’m guessing it’s weird like dolphins so they can keep their mouths moving? Or am I totally off?

snowflakeeel:

huh i’m not sure. i don’t think anyone’s done a polysomnography on a sleeping eel before…. 

although i would assume that they sleep in a similar fashion to other fish. I don’t think it would be anything special. 

 when noodle sleeps she usually leans against something and slows down her breathing. her mouth still opens and shuts but it doesn’t balloon out like it does when she’s awake. although i doubt she’d need to do anything differently with her brain or whatever…. it’s kinda just breathing. i breathe in my sleep all the time. 

Dolphins sleep weird so they can keep surfacing to take breaths. Fish sleep regularly because their breathing isn’t anything strange, even with the open-and-close mouth motions.

I’ve just come to the realisation that Hermione Granger probably memory charmed her parents and packed them off to Australia long before she told Harry and Ron she’d done it at the beginning of Deathly Hallows.

She literally never goes home from Goblet of Fire onwards, spending her summers with the boys instead. In GoF she’s remarkably blase about her teeth, something her dentist parents would have noticed and felt hurt about. 

If I were to guess, I’d say she probably did it after the wizarding world cup when she’d seen exactly how the wizarding world treats muggles and decided not to let that happen to her folks. Hermione knows which way the wind is blowing and gets in early. She’d be more than capable of doing it. 

…Oh my God.

hermione is fucking ruthless and i will fight anyone who tells me otherwise

that was her “negative” gryffindor trait

was she incredibly brave and courageous and loyal? yes

but she was also vicious and violent and trapped a woman as a beetle in a jar for over a year because she pissed her off

hermione granger looked at the world, and looked at her magic, and looked at everyone else’s magic, and seemed to come to the conclusion that reality had better shut the fuck up and behave itself or she’d make it. 

of all the kids, i think she’s dumbledore’s successor, not harry. 

See this is why I don’t like it when people try and pass her off as this flawless pure sweet angel. Like no, she’s emotional, loud, angry, brash, and vindictive, and she’s absolutely awesome just like that. Don’t woobify her.

birds were invented by sticking a bunch of weapons and feathers on a ball of pure hubris and bringing it to life by the power of spite and fight alone, they are completely lacking in the ability to regret bad decisions like the ones about to be made above

I like how the second heron is just hovering in the back like GREG. GREG, NO. LETS JUST GO HOME, COME ON
