those posts like ‘how to be a real life angel’ that tell you to douse yourself in chanel perfume and only use dior makeup and dress in silks and satins, promote the most absurd level of self-obsession and materialism and are complete and utter bullshit, just fyi. if you want to be angelic or fairy-like or whatever, you don’t need to be able to afford givenchy and spend entire days at a time in spa treatments. be kind, open your bedroom windows to let in the fresh air, every once in a while sleep with the curtains open so you can see the stars at night, pick wildflowers on your way home and stick them in a glass on your desk, maybe give the money you were going to use to buy yourself a coffee to someone you walk past who needs it more than you do. being ethereal comes from within. you don’t need to eat macarons while having a manicure to feel so. really.

it’s so fucked up when you see something you KNOW is a portal to somewhere but you can’t figure out how to activate it. this is the most frustrating feeling that plagues modern man.

Sensory differences that autistic people may experience which are lesser known:

• Increased awareness of skin surface, such as feeling oily, sweaty or dry; may have difficulty using sunscreen or bug spray, etc.
• Difficulty differentiating colors, sounds, or touches from each other.
• Increased sensitivity to allergies.
• Odd sense of smell; may smell things intensely or not at all; may perceive smells differently. 
• Hallucinations or synesthesia.
• Higher/lower awareness of body placement or organ function, including telling when the stomach is full.
• Difficulty swallowing certain things.
• Increased or decreased awareness of needing to use the bathroom.
• Differing pain, temperature, or hunger/thirst perception.
• Odd taste in food; may enjoy things others don’t or find common foods repulsive.
• Difficulty with sense of balance and rhythm.
• Extreme sensitivity to itch.
• Fluctuation between hypersensitivity and lack of sensitivity to sensory input.

Why is it that from 12 am to 4 am water enters a state where it is so much better in every way

Because you are tired your higher brain functions shut down, leaving only your ancient fish brain. It likes the splash

Cam confirm I had two glasses of water in one sitting and it was the shit

you have pleased your brain fish

Modern birds are relatively, well, modern by evolutionary standards. My choice in this post was based on conservation of proteins over those millions of years. Basically which modern animals are probably as close as possible to what was available to be eaten 60+ million years ago? Crocodiles are high on the list, helped by the fact that we do actually farm crocodiles already, so that meat supply already exists for hungry dinos.

Birds might be a good next choice, but only wild-type, not modern broilers selected for rapid growth rates and higher fat percentages.

Likely we would need a variety of protein sources, and significant trial and error to determine the ideal nutrient ratios in a reanimated dino diet, but as close as possible to what would have been naturally available is a good start.

What about ostriches? I’m not sure about their protein structure, but that’s a lot of meat and some big bones on an animal made to run. It’s basically a modern Gallimimus. We already farm those.

Would you feed any mammalian meat to the smaller, later raptors, since they likely would have occasionally eaten early mammals? 

I wonder if the best option would be to grow meat in vats. If we can perfect cloning well enough to revive dinosaurs, I’m sure we can figure out how to take a sample of meat and grow it in a vat like a weird fungus, like people are already trying to do now.
