[crisp whale]

i mean in reptile years fs

[past bison]

I am scared of a few things but the one thing that genuinely terrifies me is rabies

[crisp whale]

we thought he was on his way out

and then the mf starting randomly regrowing teeth and scutes

like son is getting old in reverse

[crisp whale]

one of the reasons i work almost exclusively with reptiles

they are immune to rabies

[past bison]

Ah valid

[amber wigeon]

Still do not let them bite you pls

Baddog taking notes….

[crisp whale]

also not to mention crocodiles are immune to HIV bc the blood has so many antigens in it

[past bison]

My bf works on his parents’ attic sometimes if something breaks and a bat lives there

It scares me lmao

[crisp whale]

@idiothusband

[amber wigeon]

I gotta find at least 3 new snakes on this road trip

It’s a preset goal

[manic inlet]

everything else gets weaker as it ages

and this mf got buffed

[crisp whale]

crocs are quite literally natures biggest joke

[manic inlet]

theyr OP as hell

[crisp whale]

theyre not suspecible to disease

they only have to eat a little

theyre water based and therefore not vunerable to extreme temperatures

oh and theyre literally bulletproof to small calibers

[amber wigeon]

Plus…. Size and bite force

Just pure power

[crisp whale]

they also regularly break a quarter of a ton

and they run the the jaw strength comp

and theyre insanely intelligent to be non mammals

[amber wigeon]

Mugger crocs using sticks to bait birds is scary

[crisp whale]

muggers scare me lol

[main trail]

Everything is wrong with this picture😭

The feet are opposite, man's arm, with 2 other arms😭

[woven hamlet]

if those are your feet then you need some sun

and some food

[crisp whale]

sike i lied

im getting the hatchling

so hes a few months old

and will be much easier to care for while i get his place set up

[amber wigeon]

Will it be like a real pet or go to another facility or the wild eventually?

[crisp whale]

for the forseeable future he is with me

[amber wigeon]

Niiice

[crisp whale]

then he will eventually likely either stay with me if things are going smooth or he will be moving into a place at work

cuz we dont want him fully isolated

[amber wigeon]

You really do have my dream job

My dad said something at dinner today which really inspired me

I told him that for my dream job, i’d need to study another 8-10 years, and he told me “study as long as you want, you can work all your life”

[woven hamlet]

youre not gonna believe this but FIL told her the same thing lol

[amber wigeon]

[craggy plaza]

I can manually unfocus my eyes.. apparently it's uncommon

[amber wigeon]

I have bad eyes in any distance

I can see without glasses

[rare veldt]

Well, if you ever got a look at something close you just close the one eye and if you have to look at something far, you close the other eye problem solved😌

[obsidian bay]

...is it?

[amber wigeon]

But i need to manually focus

[obsidian bay]

We call that disassociation...

[amber wigeon]

And it’s still bad

[rare veldt]

No way, I know like 30 people at least and they can all do it I think🤔

[craggy plaza]

Have yet to know someone that could😭

[rare veldt]

But then again, 30 people out of the like 10 billion or whatever that is quite a small number so maybe it isn’t common

[obsidian bay]

Happie understood

[amber wigeon]

I have seen 4 of those snakes btw

[obsidian bay]

We have an abundance of grass snakes here :3

I love finding them

I love even more when I can assist them

One threw itself into the brook to avoid a cyclist one time, only his tail got caught in the planks linking the bank of the brook
so he was effectively waterboarding himself because despite all his wiggling he couldn't get his tail free

so I scooped him up and held him while he got oriented - once he'd settled down and stopped struggling to move I set him in a mossy patch and let him take off into the woods

[pale shale]

fun fact

scotland has adders

i aint never seen one

[obsidian bay]

so ...... Scottish Adders are just Haggis...

[pale shale]

this somehow survives scotlands weather

baffling to me

[lavish marsh]

No mods either😭

[brazen scarab]

[craggy plaza]

Just straight crackhead shenanigans

[crisp whale]

@obsidian bay I wouldn’t take that

[brazen scarab]

i cant call people older than me uncs anymore?

what a dystopian society i live in

[obsidian bay]

I've gone to bed, is almost 2 am

[dusty socket]

i have this really weird pattern of sleeping where I'm basically on a 4/8 pattern.. 4 hours of sleep, i wake naturally, then in 8 hours i'm back in bed for another four

imagine hating mornings.. and having two of them every day

[crisp whale]

Science suggests that’s actually better for you then one 8 hour period

It’s thought that that’s how early man slept

[dusty socket]

yeah, I've heard that.. it's possible I've reverted back to a primitive state

[dull orbit]

Update: grading essays where the student clearly didn't listen to you is hell.

[manic inlet]

if it helps, students like myself who actually try feel secondhand sympathetic pain when we see others who obviously did not pay attention

[dull orbit]

It does somewhat actually.

Like for the record...I know a teacher shouldn't be judgmental in that regard. But it's so hard.

I'm getting close to where I want get something harder than the Pepsi I'm drinking. 😂

[crisp whale]

Does anyone have good coyote recipes😭

[crisp whale]

This is literally me everyday lmao

[dull orbit]

All I know is that I'd recommend braising the meat as I've heard coyote can be very tough since it's pretty lean.

[crisp whale]

Thanks

We might do that or just make dog treats out of it

[dull orbit]

Never had to it give you a flavor palate. But I know it is greasy and tough. So maybe a long braise would be beneficial.

[crisp whale]

Will prolly just feed it to the dogs

My parents ranch had a coyote attack last night

8 dead ones

[dull orbit]

Oh wow!

Just I'd cook it first. Coyotes ain't exactly known for being clean.

[twilit forum]

Second what wintersoldat25 said. Any recipe that’s for raccoon would probably work similarly since they’re both tough and gamey (as far as I’ve been told, never had it myself lol)

[crisp whale]

I don’t wanna eat it lol 😭 my parents are very much use EVERYTHING people tho

[dull orbit]

I'm also just weird though. Something about feeding a dog to a dog just feels odd.

[manic inlet]

cook to 160-165f internal to kill any and every microscopic beasties that live in it

[twilit forum]

Also, if you haven’t asked in #🥩︴irl-hunting or #🥩︴field-to-table you might have more luck from people who have cooked with it before

[manic inlet]

i dont have any recipes on hand but

stews, soups, and especially chili are good uses

[twilit forum]

Fair lol

[manic inlet]

why?

because spices are what make it good

otherwise its extremely gamey

[crisp whale]

We would also prolly deep freeze it to triple kill stuff

[manic inlet]

I cannot emphasize this enough

DO NOT

EVER

EVER

COOK IT LIKE BEEF

DO NOT

[dull orbit]

🤣

[twilit forum]

https://tenor.com/view/never-ever-dont-ever-chris-tucker-gif-13948458

[manic inlet]

because you cook beef to bring out the flavor of the meat

so if you do that with yote

you get

effectively

essence of yote

[twilit forum]

Master stank stuff 9000

[manic inlet]

which is to say

something so gamey that it makes an old ram taste mild

that also has dog-like stank

[dull orbit]

I'll take it you have experience?

[twilit forum]

That or he’s been told this story just as dramatically by someone who does have it 😂😂

[manic inlet]

no, i have searched the sacred texts and procured vast and extensive knowledge

[twilit forum]

Never change honse

[dull orbit]

That too.

[dull orbit]

Uh huh.

[crisp whale]

Honse what are your thoughts on a month long super freeze to help kill stuff

[twilit forum]

Your freezer has to be a certain temp and most aren’t

[manic inlet]

i assume freezing while raw

[crisp whale]

Yeah

[manic inlet]

but uh generally, with what standard chest freezers do

thats really just keeping the meat from spoiling

[crisp whale]

And then we would cook it too

[manic inlet]

you wanna make it parasite free its cooking

which tbh is the same as all game meat

[twilit forum]

Like afaik even the “deep freezer” types you get aren’t enough for 100% of everything unless it’s a commercial industry type one
Last I checked, at least

[manic inlet]

freezing is mainly a fish parasite thing

[crisp whale]

The chest freezer drops to -8 which I feel like would kill a lot of the parasites in warm blooded animals

[twilit forum]

Needs to be a lot colder

Much colder

[manic inlet]

you need borderline flash-freezing temps

like sub -30

[twilit forum]

Yep

That precisely

That’s the low end

[dull orbit]

According to Google...it needs to be closer to -20.

[manic inlet]

and if you want confirmation -30 and lower is your wheelhouse

SO

all this to say

[dull orbit]

Makes sense.

[manic inlet]

freeze to preserve

cook to clean

also if you guys have the skins they can tan out really well as throws and hood liners

[twilit forum]

-# and if anyone wants to send me the skins I’ll take them

[dull orbit]

Cue to the Fahrenheit 451 reference.

[manic inlet]

in fact, coyote are the primary animal fur used for the hoods on lined parkas

[crisp whale]

Tape worms and there larvae are not surviving 3 weeks at -8

[manic inlet]

no but we're not talking digestive parasites haunted

we're talking muscle parasites and other microbes

like trichinella

[crisp whale]

I want them all dead 😭

So freeze then cook

[manic inlet]

yes

[scarlet wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/sultan-papağanı-cockatiel-papağan-kuş-parrot-gif-16367060956533289732

[manic inlet]

but im just pointing out that -8 will weaken them instead of outright killing them

[crisp whale]

Yeah that was the plan all along

[manic inlet]

itll make em die a hell of a lot easier in cooking though

also also also

[crisp whale]

Yeah that was the thought haha

[manic inlet]

ive seen numerous people make this mistake with game meats generally but for some odd reason specifically predators where it REALLY matters

well done is the only option

[crisp whale]

It’s for the LGDs so that joker is gonna be BURNT

[manic inlet]

anyone who says anything about medium-well, medium, medium rare, rare, or god forbid BLUE RARE is an imbecile and do not listen to them

[dull orbit]

Also...heck yeah! I got gold which means I get GIFS. 🤣

[dull orbit]

Because predators tend to pick up extra stuff because they eat animals with extra nasty stuff.

Gotta love the food chain.

[manic inlet]

you can definitely full cook and sear the hell out of it in small sliced cubes and then put it in stew/chili to make sure its not only safe but not as tough as boot leather

[crisp whale]

Well all this was for nothing cuz my dad just texted saying he found boils on one so they’re burning the carcasses

[manic inlet]

worst part is 90% of it is because of our own goddamn domestic stock, pets, and trash

[manic inlet]

good choice

BUT

keep the lore in mind

should you ever get an undiseased yote

same goes for the skins

[dull orbit]

Gotta love pollution too.

[manic inlet]

ESPECIALLY IN WINTER

winter length coyote fur is a damn good insulator

and badger is fantastic for any kind of working strength garment

[crisp whale]

I’m too old and tired to get this ig

[dull orbit]

I've watched too much MatPat.

I understood way too much.

[manic inlet]

mf youre like 2 years older than me

[twilit forum]

Wait there was something to “get”? 😭

[dull orbit]

I've had to teach my students who Matpat is. 😭😭😭

[twilit forum]

I figured lore as in… lore/history/reason behind things… am I missing something lmfao

Also holy, I haven’t heard about matpat in years. Is he even still making content?

[dull orbit]

Nope. You figured it out.

[dull orbit]

He "retired" two years ago.

Now he's in politics.

[twilit forum]

Aw good for him, but I see those quotes lol

Oh lord

That’s

A choice lol

[dull orbit]

He's supposed to be helping out content creators.

Seems he's still keeping that stance. He hasn't been corrupted yet that I'm aware of.

But he's gone from the theory channels.

[twilit forum]

Lettuce pray he stays far away from the dark side lol

Oh interesting. Good for him

[dull orbit]

He wanted to spend more time with his son. Which I understand fully.

[twilit forum]

Oh absolutely

He’s spent so long in the public eye doing ish too, makes sense he wants to sit back and spend time with his fam

[dull orbit]

Only part is that I'm pissed about was that he actually did an event a few feet from where I live and I couldn't attend due to work!!!

[crisp whale]

Guys do you think my caiman hates me for wearing gator boots😭

[twilit forum]

No they probably think you’re family LOL

[twilit forum]

I feel this rage and disappointment 💔next time I hope you’re able to make it!

[dull orbit]

Hope so.

I was teaching a chickpea class of all things.

[crisp whale]

I went in to pick up him up today

My co workers pointed out my boots

I’m ashamed

[twilit forum]

Ooh. What were you teaching about chickpeas?

If ya don’t mind me asking, that is lol feel free to disregard 😂

[dull orbit]

All good. I'm a culinary teacher, so I was teaching some chickpea based recipes.

[twilit forum]

Pffft okay but the boots are stylish I’m sure so it makes up for it

[crisp whale]

I love chickpeas so much

But like I just eat them straight

[dull orbit]

We had a roasted chickpea dinner with tomatoes and Tofu, a curry inspired chickpea soup, and a chickpea salad. For dessert, a chocolate dessert hummus.

[twilit forum]

Figured as much bahaha was curious what kinda recipes you were teaching, honestly.
I’d assume something like a big salad with crispy chickpeas, hummus, or fritters

[crisp whale]

Chocolate hummus is a great pull

[twilit forum]

Oooohhhhh okay wait those all sound excellent. Easy too

That’s awesome there’s still folks out there teaching culinary classes honestly.

[twilit forum]

Way!! Get those kiddos to eat more fiber
And it’s tasty.

[dull orbit]

I just teach at a local rec center. English teacher by day...cooking teacher by night and the weekends. 😂

[craggy plaza]

How would you eat them other wise? "Eats chickpeas gayly"😭

[twilit forum]

That’s just what happens when I eat a chickpea

It’s all about the wrist flick

[crisp whale]

Son

😭😭😭

[twilit forum]

That’s fabulous. I hope you enjoy the hell out of it 🫶 you’re helpin the future gens

My nephew has started cooking for himself and he’s been so proud of his dishes. He’s asking to make beans and rice now 😩💖

[dull orbit]

I truly enjoy it. Tomorrow is my 7-10 year old Minecraft cooking class. And then I still need to make Snickerdoodles for my English students since tomorrow is the last day.

[dull orbit]

Awww

[craggy plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/gert-samson-gert-samson-cook-burned-food-gif-17488858

[twilit forum]

Awww, happy last day to y’all. Snickerdoodles are great, excellent choice to celebrate haha I hope the younguns in the Minecraft class are well behaved and all runs smoothly 😂

[dull orbit]

Well behaved? Ha! I'm gonna be lucky if I don't leave the class with the Lava Chicken song in my head. 🤣

And yes...we are making some in class.

[craggy plaza]

God this looks cursed😭

It looks so wrong😭

[dusty socket]

i thought I seen someone with six fingers at first

[craggy plaza]

Goodnight yall, have a good night👋

Look I'm tired I'm not gonna correct it😭

[mossy badge]

Unc

[craggy plaza]

So does that make u dirt?

[crisp whale]

Seamussy is wicked

[crisp whale]

As someone you regularly interacts with people in the 7-10 age range

They’re never behaved

[twilit forum]

As someone who has also had to regularly interact with them, I’m inclined to agree lol

We can, however, hope for the best 😂

[dusty socket]

as someone who was once 7-10, behaving was, and is still boring

[crisp whale]

We sometimes go like field trips for work with one of our sister companies

And I’m usually in charge of leading those

Good grief they’re so poorly behaved

[dull orbit]

Update on grading: so many students haven't turned in their assignments and I've just watched their grades plummet. 😭😭😭

On top of I'm pretty sure I found an AI essay.

[crisp whale]

Do you teach highschool?

[crisp whale]

Noooo😭

[dull orbit]

College...

[crisp whale]

I hate AI

[dull orbit]

My high schoolers actually did awesome.

[crisp whale]

Oh ok so they’re big boys and girls who can be responsible

[dull orbit]

This is my normal college English class.

[dull orbit]

Yeah. I know. I know. They're adults that can make choices. But it hurts so much everytime.

[mossy badge]

I lowk forgot I couldn't read this whole time

What have yall been saying?

[crisp whale]

When I was in high school our teachers never gave us enough time to get stuff done and then would be shocked when it wasn’t done

[dull orbit]

Oh...I give time in all my classes. It's a three hour class. Spend the first half teaching. Second half work time and time to ask me questions.

[crisp whale]

Yeah that’s elite

My English teachers would talk about their 8 divorces for the entire class and then give out directions in the last 20 minutes and it would be due in 2 days

As a ranch kiddo and a athlete and eventually a teen mom that was extremely hard to get done😭

It was the same English teacher 3 years in a row 😭

[mossy badge]

So like, idk what I did, but my neck is sore right on the bones

[dull orbit]

Ouch.

[crisp whale]

Ouch

[twilit forum]

[mossy badge]

Have you seen Call of the Wildman?

[woven hamlet]

yeah lol

used to watch it as a kiddo

[woven hamlet]

why is he doing that 😭

[mossy badge]

It stopped because of some stupid reasons

He moved a turtle slightly too far from an area where it shouldn't have been

[woven hamlet]

😭

there is no way thats the reason

[mossy badge]

And something to do with a bear

[manic inlet]

WHADDUP BOIS

I SURVIVED

[crisp whale]

Son

He watches it on his own 😭

[mossy badge]

And here I am using my nephews and nieces as an excuse 😭

[crisp whale]

Oh he tries to blame it on our daughter but like he’ll come to bed at like 3 am in bluey footie pajamas

After binging my little pony and mermaid shows

[obsidian bay]

Not the footie jammies 😭

[mossy badge]

Just airing out his laundry😂

[crisp whale]

He’s a fully grown very very muscular man

Like they are custom tailored footie pajamas

[obsidian bay]

Custom tailored COMFORT

[crisp whale]

As a smaller woman who fits into little girls pjs

I love footie pajamas so 0 hate

But I never expected to see a grown man in them

The bicep bulge with the chain is wicked work

[jovial flare]

Mans got custom pj’s

[jovial flare]

Lookin clammy

@mossy badge

I got called a hacker again

I also got back into siege because of you and my friends

And now I have people with 700 hours who yell at me for having 2500 if I’m having a bad game

I had to explain to a 13 year old I had been playing the game since he was 4

And he was talking smack to me because I was rusty😭

After this game I did terrible

[manic inlet]

yo potter

i have news

[jovial flare]

Yes

[manic inlet]

Colorado's elk population is popping off

largest its ever been since proper measuring started

339,000 animals per the recently published 2025 pre-hunt census

up from 308,000 the year before

deer also jumped from 384,000 to 408,000 between 2024 and 2025

[jovial flare]

WOOOO

[manic inlet]

am big happy

[amber wigeon]

Elk for everyone

[lyric sandal]

Wondering why i can't connect to the internet, and tried to speed test them and gave me 2 different result

Just a swamp puppy

[past bison]

I am so dead at work ugh

[obsidian bay]

Awh

[mild stag]

@amber wigeon

Let's move here

[amber wigeon]

Yup

Also saw bee eaters

Loads of them

Wanna see european roller

I also wanna go to lapland and see all the grouse species

[mild stag]

Trust me you wanna get to see a black grouse lekk

[west bronze]

I want a ferret

So they can hide all my stuff

[amber wigeon]

They can stink, just a little warning

[mild stag]

Florarna Nature Reserve here has a really good one

[west bronze]

My parents had 1 before and indeed they do 😭

[amber wigeon]

Sweden and finland have loads of black grouse compared to all of europe

[mild stag]

In my state all the grouse are fairly rare

[west bronze]

That little guy was my buddy though

[amber wigeon]

My dad was at a friend and he saw 2 capercaillies in 3 days

[amber wigeon]

He was happy with that

[mild stag]

Only see each species around once or twice a year and I spend a looot of time in good habitat

[mild stag]

That was Lappland right?

[amber wigeon]

Nah central sweden

[mild stag]

Dalarna?

[mild stag]

What province?

[amber wigeon]

Not sure, but somewhere near that Dalarna place

[mild stag]

Below or above that line

[amber wigeon]

Above

[mild stag]

Yeah all that is northern sweden

[amber wigeon]

Ohhhh

Btw i’m confused, are you swedish or german?

[mild stag]

I'm both

I got both passports but rn I live in sweden

[amber wigeon]

Ohhhh

Nice nice

The schwarzwald also has grouse but pretty endangered

[mild stag]

Northern Sweden is crazy, when driving on forest roads it can feel like you need to watchout not to run over a capercaillie

[mild stag]

Sadly

Our grouse are also fairly low compared to some other parts of the country

Still never seen a hazel grouse

There so secretive

Black grouse also ultra rare

Capercaillie is ok, if you really try to you can find one every 4-5 tries if you look in the right place

Are you UK?

[amber wigeon]

They seem the least skittish of all grouse

[amber wigeon]

Netherlands

Our black grouse went extinct in 2017 now only reintroduced swedish birds

[mild stag]

https://tenor.com/view/ski-aggu-dance-aggu-ski-gif-27052055

[mild stag]

That's sas

[amber wigeon]

Yup

[mild stag]

But at least there working on it

What kind of habitat do they live in over there, also bogs?

[amber wigeon]

Bog/heather

[mild stag]

Did you see that spectacled eider that visited a while ago?

[amber wigeon]

I didn’t but i heard about it

Quite a trip to go the texel for me

[mild stag]

Valid

All the raritys are always on some random inaccessible islands it feels like

[amber wigeon]

Yup 😭

I looked it up, the black grouse haven’t successfully had young since the 90s, so it is really a lost cause

[mild stag]

Yeah, that's why they are so rare here

Large undisturbed bog forest mosaics are really the only way to have a healthy population in my province

We got one really good one

[manic inlet]

sometimes I forget just

[mild stag]

I've seen capers, black grouse, Ural owl there

[manic inlet]

the total extent of ecological annihilation Europe has witnessed

[amber wigeon]

We had a lot of good bogs and heather but all destroyed for farmland

[mild stag]

In the summer lots of cloudberries there

[manic inlet]

I thought our timber monoculture looked dead then i saw the tree farms and replants in Germany and i just got sad

[amber wigeon]

We went from 5000 black grouse in a area the size of a big city to none in 15 years

[mild stag]

We are in the process to commercialise and destroy all put wonderful forests to turn into plantations 🫠

[manic inlet]

wow

just

wow

[mild stag]

They destroyed all the old growth behind my house cause they were concerned that the bugs that are dangerous to the plantations would hop over from the old growth to the plantations

That wraps it up pretty good

From capercaillies and chanterelles to a useless wasteland, I cried like a baby the first time I saw what they did

[manic inlet]

here I was thinking Europe was more environmentally conscious than America but i guess not

[mild stag]

It's a Sweden thing I guess

We protected like 6% of our forests

As a nation that isn't economically reliant on forestry at all

Brazil protected 30%...

[past bison]

Oh you’re a swede lmao

[manic inlet]

sweet mother of god

[mild stag]

That's why our moose are so small, they get shot a bunch cause of the lobby

[manic inlet]

i mean we aint had much left when we started protecting it

but like man

we just

drew big ass circles around the rockies basically

[mild stag]

It's a minus business for basically everyone involved except a cupple politiceans and corporation owners

[manic inlet]

see this

this right here is why we cant sell game meat in the states

cause ts happens when you can, even when regulated

[mild stag]

This isn't about selling the meat it's about protecting young trees from moose

[past bison]

Omg there was this mossy forest near my parents’ house that we called ”fairy forest” and they fuken demolished it

Ngl cried a little

[manic inlet]

.....

you-

you mean

[mild stag]

Exactly what happened here

[manic inlet]

the young trees and shrubs

[mild stag]

Yes

[manic inlet]

whose healthy growth cycle

is semi dependent

[mild stag]

Yes

Yes

[manic inlet]

on being partially consumed

by moose

kill me

[mild stag]

But you can get slightly more money from (non native) pine plantations when you kill all the wildlife

[amber wigeon]

What the netherlands is doing is pretty smart after a idiot period

Buying back farmland and turning it into sanctuaries, then connecting them

Natural sanctuaries btw

[mild stag]

We have a new art installation about exactly that

[mild stag]

I love the Netherlands

[amber wigeon]

It’s a pretty nice country

[mild stag]

It is

Tho a little flat

[amber wigeon]

Also we turned a inland sea into a giant reed swamp and brought back several extinct breeding birds, that just sounds awesome

[mild stag]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[mild stag]

What's it called
