Horseshoe crabs can lay between 60,000 to 120,000 eggs. These eggs are laid in the sand or mud in batches of a few thousand at a time, and take 2 weeks to hatch. Many are eaten by seabirds while incubating.
john mulaney talking about how much he loves his wife and roasting other male comedians that just talk shit on their wives is why The Gays like him so much because he’s what Straight Culture should be
he literally called her a bitch so let’s raise the standards ladies and gentlemen
rather have my titty out than slowly suffocate in a chemical spill
How are women suppose to get their bra off from under their clothes and secured properly to their face in time if there is a sudden leakage of lethal gas
Henry, you severely underestimate our abilities.
son, this bra clasps in the front, that is easy mode
Fact: Everyone who regularly wears a bra can get it off, barely disturbing the rest of their clothes, in under 20 seconds.
There could be a bra-less woman around you in less than 20 seconds. You would never know.
if you have short sleeves, or even reasonably flexible long sleeves, you can pull your bra straps off your shoulders through the sleeves of your shirt and over your arms. then unclasp the bra and pull it out via top or bottom of your shirt. this is a really great trick for if you want to intimidate a man in bed.
You can also get it off under your shirt, then grab it by one strap and whip it out through your sleeve if you’re feeling particularly dramatic.
Are fucking kidding me? I have been sitting at home and constantly watching the news after the events of yesterday. For those of you who are wondering, I am a junior at REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL! I was there when the shooter kept running in the halls trying to open the doors and get in. I was there in the dark praying and crying while my librarian kept saying ” they’ll have to kill me before they touch my kids” I have known her for three years, her determination to keep us safe broke her heart. Seeing this, that little children need protection in school. Are we sending kids to a battlefield? I have three little brothers ranging from 5-10, and still people have the nerve to speak about the second amendment? Really? I can’t even type anymore. I’m so disgusted and frustrated. When will you realize that it’s important to have gun control? When a shooter is pointing a gun at your child? Is that when you’ll realize that guns aren’t something to be kept around. People say it’s a free country but honesty, this country is more oppressed and diseased than any other country.
Show me ONE instance where gun control and gun free zones prevented school shootings.
Let me tell you guys a story. In 1996, in a little town in Australia called Port Arthur, a gunman killed 35 and injured 23. This place was a tourist attraction, with plenty of visitors and locals going about their business. 35 people died.That’s 35 marriages, anniversaries, birthdays or uni degrees. 35 people left Port Arthur in body bags. At the time, we had a pretty conservative government, and the Prime Minister at the time (in hindsight) was kind of a dick. But within two weeks of the shooting, Howard instituted a massive reform and buyback of all firearms.
But it must be a statistical flaw, you say, there weren’t that many massacres before 1996, right? No, WRONG. In the eighteen years leading up to Port Arthur, there had been 13 mass shootings.
But April, you ask, this couldn’t possibly have worked could it? Wouldn’t it only have reduced the mass shootings? WRONG. Since 1996, there have been ZERO mass shootings. That’s right, ZERO. FUCKING ZILCH. There have been scattered homicides, however:
How many schools have been raided and children murdered? NONE. How many film buffs have been murdered in their seats? NONE. How many innocent lives have been lost to the barrel of a gun? NONE.
On top of this, homicides involving the use of guns, and youth suicide involving the use of guns has declined dramatically, by up to 60%
Australia, however much the environment tries to kill you, is a safe haven, and you can walk the streets with 99% assurance that you won’t fall victim to a drive by shooting.
you can legally own certain types of shotgun, .22 calibre rifles over a certain barrel length, and antiques. that’s it.
in the nigh-on twenty years since the uk has had one mass shooting. one. and we’re down to about 30 gun-related deaths annually.
there is not one example of gun control laws reducing mass shootings and gun-related homicide. there are dozens. it literally works every time. the usa is the anomaly not because it didn’t work but because it hasn’t tried.
I legit wrote up a whole thing about dwarf beards and the different types of braids (they have three distinct genders and some smaller variations of non-trinary genders that are less common but still recognized) and how the braids indicate like a whole host of things beyond gender including marital status, preferences of partner, and whether or not they wish to raise children with a potential mate, and it was awesome but then something happened and i lost it and i will be forever sad.
Conversely, elves did not know what A Gender fucking was until they met humans. They only have one pronoun, and it causes a lot of confusion to outsiders. This is why it’s hard to tell the difference between male and female elves – they don’t give a shit about separating the two.
This is so so cool. I love elves just, , not knowing what a gender is.
humans, meeting elves for the first time: are you… man or woman?
elf: i am elf?
human: no i mean what gender are you
elf: *gesturing wildly to themselves* elf???? ELF??
An amazing example of how coral snakes don’t follow the rules of the rhyme (red touches black = nonvenomous, red touches yellow = venomous) south of the border of Mexico.
My fish crush of the day is not just a single species but an entire family!
Meet the adorable and strange Sea Moth! (No, not the thing from Subnautica).
These benthic marine fish are just downright weird looking and I love them. I’m pretty sure they’re in the same order as sticklebacks (Gasterostiformes), but looking at them I never would have heckin’ guessed it.
They’re not a large family as far as fish go, with just two genera and a whopping total of 5 species. What is most charming is that the family is the Pegasidae, and the genera being straight up called Pegasus or Eurypegasus. This is on account of their wing-like pectoral fins and long rostrum (the snout looking thing – but their mouth is actually on the underside of their head). Even better: one of the species is Eurypegasusdraconis! That translates to short/little pegasus dragon. Two mythical creatures for the price of one!
And it’s frickin’ handsome too.
Beautiful.
A few other cool notes – they shed their armoured skin all in one go (they more or less jump out of their skin) on a regular basis to allow growth and rid themselves of accumulated parasites and algae. When you are a slow benthic fish that slowly crawls along the sea floor with your claw-like pelvic fins with a badass suit of armour I guess stuff just attaches to you.
These guys occasionally pop up in the aquarium trade as oddball fish. They have a max length of around 8-20 cm (3-8 inches) depending on species, probably due to differences in tail length. They would likely need a sizeable and dedicated tank, kept alone or as a pair, with little rock work and plenty of live sand/gravel to provide them enough food.
One of the five species is listed as vulnerable (P. Lanternaris) and the other four data deficient. They are rarely targeted for the aquarium trade, but they are regularity sold dried as traditional Chinese medicine.
