If the ocean ever disappears DONT GO LOOKING FOR IT… go in the other direction
i know this sounds like a shitpost but isn’t this like, real advice regarding tsunamis
Yes this was about hurricane Irma it is not a shitpost
This is actually really good advice so let me elaborate a bit: if you notice the tide is retreating very quickly at a very odd time of day, get as far away from water and as high up as you can. I live along the ocean and a long time ago we had a small tsunami and a relative of mine tells me how her father saw the tides retreating so he just picked her up and just ran, which probably saved their lives.
So yeah DONT LOOK FOR THE MISSING OCEAN just run away
ocean not lost, ocean is actually winding up to kick you very hard in the nuts.
The smallest mammal that ever lived could be sitting right on your shoulder, and you’d hardly know it. Batodonoides vanhouteni (model pictured) lived about 50 million years ago in what is now Wyoming, and was so small that it could climb up a pencil. It also weighed as little as a dollar bill! Several slightly larger species of these mini-mammals lived between 55 and 42 million years ago, but they are now all extinct. Its closest living relatives are modern-day shrews and moles.

I love this Model! It’s in the California Academy of Sciences and it’s part of a display of the largest and smallest land mammals! Here’s the whole display, with Batodonides in the case labeled “Smallest”:
The Big Boi with him is a
Paraceratherium
, which lived in most of what is now Asia some 30-16 MYA, and was the largest land mammal ever to live, weighing in around 33,000-44,000 lbs.
I really love this display, becuase there is so much love and attention paid to these models, and that every kid that comes up them marvels over how each contains a heart and lungs and brain just like they do. It’s really lovely.
I love having a therapist who is also a millennial because we communicate so fucking well like today she called something “so meta” like folks if you’re considering going to therapy I highly recommend the training clinic at your nearest university because those grad students have been the best therapist I’ve ever had and they always have a sliding pay scale and I literally pay nothing because I make less than 10,000 a year and get fantastic mental health care
’#can confirm: the best therapy I ever got was grad students in training#the downside: they graduate and move away after a few years and you have to do the fucking finding-a-therapist dance all over again’
