[serene radish]

All that for 2 to go pretty much extinct and one almost get wiped out too

[manic inlet]

yep, 1 subspecies and 1 ecotype wiped out

another ecotype and another subspecies pushed to the brink (manitoban and tule)

and the other two subspecies barely surviving

[manic inlet]

the saddest thing is the plains bison distribution was the same

65 million animals

stretching from California's central valley to the oak forests of Pennsylvania

wiped out in 22 years

[serene radish]

I always forget manitoban elk exist lol

[manic inlet]

largely cause theyre increasingly synonymous with rockies

theyre the same thing but stockier and a few other minor changes to be prairie adapted

well

more praire adapted

[serene radish]

I was about to ask lol

[manic inlet]

elk are generalist to start with so they dont gotta change much

[manic inlet]

easterns were also found to be extremely close in behavior to RME

and studies on survivign wild pops in the southwest showed that in broadleaf forests they acted effectively the same

hence KY and others pulling RME for reintroduction

genetically different but ecologically identical where it mattered

[serene radish]

Cool to see how each subspecies(and ecotype) adapts to different environments

[manic inlet]

very much so

[manic inlet]

and then there's one hooved megafauna that uhhh

well lets see muskox still arent doing too hot

[serene radish]

Not surprised there

[manic inlet]

current v former (as far as I know) in green

well this is moreso as far as would fit on the map shown

[serene radish]

Lord. Thats even worse

[manic inlet]

they were historically as far south as Lake Athabasca

in parts of the Canadian Shield they could extend far enough south in hard winter to reach the greater drainage basin of Lake Michigan

[manic inlet]

oh yeah and woodland caribou got done kinda friggin dirty

[serene radish]

Atp what species hasn't

[manic inlet]

orange and green here are woodland and mtn

[serene radish]

I feel like one of the only species that benefited from massacres were coyotes

[manic inlet]

quite literally

I found a more accurate map to draw on but be ready to be angry

[serene radish]

They just refuse to quit lol

I already am

[manic inlet]

yes youre looking at that line right there used to be caribou in Michigan

[serene radish]

...

[manic inlet]

i went a little wide on the plains enclave, they also inhabitied the dakotas as well

[manic inlet]

Idaho still had a herd but they shipped them out for breeding to better establish them

[serene radish]

Fair

[manic inlet]

also oddly enough, despite doing well, black bears have a murderous range reduction

example

dark green is now light green is historic

[manic inlet]

i respect and admire their tenacity

[serene radish]

Same

[serene radish]

Jeez

[manic inlet]

grizzlies are almost as bad tbh

[serene radish]

Rest in peace

Our precious state flag representative

[manic inlet]

RIP to the boi

[manic inlet]

and to cap it off here's how dirty mountain lions were done

like just damn

[manic inlet]

this is an older map cause theyre known in Alberta and Saskatchewan but damn

[serene radish]

Good lord

[manic inlet]

there are some success stories though, even within the destruction

[serene radish]

Being huat

[manic inlet]

whitetailed deer are probably the furtherest from extinction theyve been in their whole 5 million year existence

at the expense of automotive insurance rates in much of the US ofc

[serene radish]

For how adaptable and widespread they are not exactly surprising

[manic inlet]

and mtn lions are rapidly expanding eastward

[manic inlet]

shockingly the buckskin market almost got them too

only a quarter million animals remained on the continent in 1904

and they were confined to fragmented pockets in PA, the Dakotas, and parts of Iowa, Indiana, Illinois Ohio, and Kentucky

then we stopped hunting them for like 55 years and there was like 18 million of them

and now theres 35 million

which is 1 deer for every 10 americans and about a third of the US cattle population combining dairy and beef

[manic inlet]

oh and here's something hella trippy

[serene radish]

There's more?

[manic inlet]

for about 18 years Canada Geese were listed as extinct

feather market

[serene radish]

Huhhhh???

[manic inlet]

nuff said

[manic inlet]

all modern canada geese descend from a roughly 450 bird flock that was discovered in minnesota in the 1930s

[serene radish]

Oh

[manic inlet]

oh and Mallards had to be rehab'd with domestic ducks

were probably at leass than 5000 of them at one point

maybe lower

[serene radish]

Yikes

[manic inlet]

again, feather market

[manic inlet]

doing better than Europe on waterfowl though

iirc britain lost

I think a third of its native waterfowl extirpated or extinct

for the feather market

[serene radish]

Look at them now at least they are both widespread through several continents

[manic inlet]

another two fifths left hanging by a thread

[manic inlet]

theyre even in places they shouldnt be

like New Zealand lmfao

[serene radish]

Lol

[manic inlet]

oh and Snow Geese also almost went extinct

[serene radish]

Feather market?

[manic inlet]

and then rebounded so hard they bulldozed half the tundra and peaked at like 37 million birds

[manic inlet]

yep

oh and destruction of wintering grounds by industry and city development

[serene radish]

Oh

[manic inlet]

basically

if bird that almost died

feather market

thats true globally from about 1710 to 1945

except for the carolina parakeet kinda randomly dying

hunting didnt help but they did just sorta stop existing for no good reason

[serene radish]

I only found out about them due to rdr2

You kill like 50 of them and they no longer exist on the map

[manic inlet]

sadge

but also real

[manic inlet]

you ever heard of the ivory billed woodpecker?

[serene radish]

The mission encourages you to do so

And you can even read newspapers after you keep killing a couple of their declining numbers

[serene radish]

Nope

[manic inlet]

omg thats so sad

[manic inlet]

here's a range map

a former range map

there is no update to this it's gone

driven wholly to extinction from habitat loss and overhunting

it was the largest woodpecker in north america and possibly largest on the planet

[manic inlet]

and do you wanna know the part that angers me the most?

there was a huge forest tract in Arkansas/Mississippi/Louisiana owned by Singer Sewing Machines

it was basically their last refugia, and their CEO had a softspot for the birds so he decided to keep them protected

after some years it was sold to the Chicago Boxcar Company

whose CEO promptly did the evil rich man thing

and clearcut every last acre to sell the lumber and use the profits to build himself a mansion on a personal estate

[serene radish]

🫩

[manic inlet]

the Denver Museum of Nature and Science has an exhibit with a few of them along with the Carolina Parakeet

its doesnt have any particularly heart-tugging language, just basic statement of what they were and what happened to them

but that diorama always makes me sad

[serene radish]

At least they'll be remembered someway

[manic inlet]

there's some fleeting hope that a subspecies native to Cuba might still be alive

and people sporadically claim to hear calls or see ivorybilleds in the US proper

but nothing confirmably since I think 1965

on the bright side, surviving woodpecker species in the americas are generally doing quite well and many have recovered strongly from former endangered or critically endangered status

and on that note at 2:02 Am my tired ass is going to bed

[serene radish]

Night

[tropic thunder]

Completely redid my room

Go drifting in roundabouts

[amber wigeon]

I saw some dude do berlin to münchen in 3 hours when it was supposed to be a 9 hour drive 😭

[lavish marsh]

That's probably my brother

In his Opel

[amber wigeon]

we have a big clunky Toyota Prius 😭

[lavish marsh]

Oh 😭

[amber wigeon]

It can do 220 maybe 😭

[lavish marsh]

Toyota tho

🫶

I really want to get into cars

[amber wigeon]

It’s a big car so we can take loads of stuff with us as well

[lavish marsh]

Rn I'm just "Ooh car look pretty and sound cool that's a good car"

And like the most basic of knowledge

[amber wigeon]

Just watch a load of top gear

[lavish marsh]

Lol

[amber wigeon]

You’ll laugh and see cars

[lavish marsh]

I have a friend teaching me a little cause he does drifting and racing

[amber wigeon]

Ooooo

I would love to be in a proper sports car

[lavish marsh]

I was at car museum a couple days ago

[amber wigeon]

dad had a mercedes benz for work once

[lavish marsh]

Ooo

[amber wigeon]

Loved that thing

[lavish marsh]

My ex was gonna get one from his grandpa but never did

Rn he drives a really beat up 2005 honda jazz

I use mom's cars so a 2008 toyota auris in very good condition and a rusty and broken 2011 skoda superb

Mainly the toyota

[amber wigeon]

My parents have had a peugot, i think a volkswagen golf? And 3 toyotas now

[lavish marsh]

Peugot is kinda mid

Golf is like the one model they compare to my yota auris

[amber wigeon]

A prius, a yaris and another but don’t remember which

[lavish marsh]

YARIS

https://tenor.com/view/toyota-yaris-yaris-meme-whys-this-dealer-meme-whys-this-dealer-i-need-my-things-gif-14472248150583635823

Love em lil guys

Hate toyota aygo

[amber wigeon]

We’ve sold it to a friend since

[lavish marsh]

Auris is bigger and better yaris

My coworker has avensis

[amber wigeon]

My sister has aygo 😭

[lavish marsh]

Omg total it

[amber wigeon]

She had a 1600 euro audi but that thing was a lost cause

Speedometer was in miles in a kilometer country 😭

[lavish marsh]

Audi are nice cars but I find em meh

I like volvo and bmw

And toyota for reliable cars

[amber wigeon]

If there is one car i’d just like to drive it’s definitely any kind of Porsche

[lavish marsh]

Fancy

[amber wigeon]

Once i get my license i’m definitely going to a public racetrack once

But not the nürnburgring

[lavish marsh]

For me one of theeeeseee

[amber wigeon]

I don’t wanna die

[lavish marsh]

So valid

[amber wigeon]

Going fast just feels fun

[lavish marsh]

I was offered to try my buddy's car but

Maaan

I scared

[lavish marsh]

Yessss

[amber wigeon]

Might have to go out to the us with a rental and go salt flat racing

[lavish marsh]

Do it

Get a full time job but live at home with no rent

You'll get money for fancy car so fast

[amber wigeon]

I will do it with a normal car not whatever insane rocket propelled speed monsters they test there 😭

[lavish marsh]

Nah take the opportunity

Fast cars can go slow

Last of may I've had my license 2 years

[amber wigeon]

Have you ever seen what they test out on those salt flats

[lavish marsh]

Nope

[lavish marsh]

LMAO

[amber wigeon]

That thing looks like it’s supposed to enter orbit 😭

[lavish marsh]

WHAT IS THAT

[amber wigeon]

Vehicle that set the landspeed record

[lavish marsh]

[amber wigeon]

It went 1227km/h

That’s like 130% faster then a commercial plane

Crashes are almost always fatal tho

That’s the downside

[lavish marsh]

I can imagine

[umbral cobalt]

@serene radish

[tropic thunder]

Genuinely just talked about trucks till I got my perms

[obsidian bay]

its true

[amber wigeon]

Gonna buy a snake hook to maybe prevent the biting 😭

[obsidian bay]

possibly the wisest move

[past bison]

I second this

I used to have a snake hook to move adders from my relatives’ yards

Bc otherwise they’d just kill them

So I had a bucket and a hook

[eager roost]

Has everyone in the Midwest paid attention to the weather?

[lyric furnace]

Oh wait

@rare veldt I found something you’d like on fb marketplace

[serene radish]

That rabbit is NOT human bro..

[obsidian bay]

which game?

[woven hamlet]

sea of thieves

apex

[obsidian bay]

lul

[woven hamlet]

fortnite

roblox

im not kidding

im scared

someone save me

its mainly SOT and Roblox

[crisp whale]

That’s what you get for playing Roblox as a grown ass man

[woven hamlet]

bro that has to be bullying or discrimination or something

[rare veldt]

Are you the rabbit?

[hoary wharf]

A lot of grown ppl play it lol

[woven hamlet]

THANK YOU

its normal

[sick briar]

pov booting up elite dangerous after not playing for 5 years and having 0 clue wtf I'm doing and my save state is just in the middle of no where looking at some random star

[amber wigeon]

Vengence do you have acces to reptile studies

Because i have a question 😭

[woven hamlet]

son back me up here

[amber wigeon]

On playing games?

[crisp whale]

Certain ones yeah

[woven hamlet]

yes

shes bullying me

im getting harrassed in chat and shes victim blaming

[amber wigeon]

Roblox is a platform so there’s some adult games

[crisp whale]

Son just get off the game then😭

[amber wigeon]

And fortnite is just a funny cartoony shooter

[amber wigeon]

I doubt you’ll have one about this

There’s a population of green lizards in germany, in a area called spitzberg, and i can not find what species it is 😭

Sightings only started in the 1900s

So they think it’s introduced

But i couldn’t find any research that actually found out if it was the western or eastern green lizard

[hoary wharf]

It's pretty average for some grown ppl to play it-

[amber wigeon]

So i’m quite curious now

Found a study that did dna research but it didn’t get the results in 😭

[crisp whale]

Is it the Lacerta viridis

[amber wigeon]

It’s either bilineata or viridis

Bilineata is found closest to the area just across the french bordsr

But if it’s introduced it might be viridis

It really matters toward the species hunt but i can’t find it for the life of me

[woven hamlet]

thank you twin

shes just unreasonable

[amber wigeon]

It’s all opinions

Some young people hate games in general

[crisp whale]

All due respect happie you will likely have no clue when you catch it

[amber wigeon]

Some don’t

[crisp whale]

The eastern and western are almost identical

[amber wigeon]

I’ll just have to stripe off western, best possibility is that they cross over from france

[tropic thunder]

Heya guys

[amber wigeon]

Ello

[tropic thunder]

Saw a fox on the road today

Might go for a bike ride

[amber wigeon]

Alive?

[tropic thunder]

Yea

[amber wigeon]

Nice nice

[obsidian bay]

inb4 Thargoids get you

[tropic thunder]

Ets2 pmo so much

[amber wigeon]

It really is quite a gamble to take, but however the lizards got there they were introduced

[woven hamlet]

i saw a gator this morning and now im staying in my closet till it goes away

[amber wigeon]

Because no way a 40cm lizard crossed one of the greatest rivers in europe

I’ll probably take a macrolens and a zoom lens, doubt i can get very close the the greens before they dart in between the rocks

[crisp whale]

If I was you happie I would count them as one species

[tropic thunder]

Hopefully there'll be some trucks out today

[crisp whale]

Since you literally need genetic analysis to tell them apart

[amber wigeon]

Yeah i’ll probably just count it as lacerta bilineata/viridis

But i do have a location for every new reptile

[crisp whale]

Lizards are like my least worked with family of reptilia

[amber wigeon]

Most for me

[crisp whale]

Unless we’re being cladistic

Then it’s Aves

[amber wigeon]

Snakes are just the thing i have ran into the least

[manic inlet]

i have a future goal to obtain some form of pet reptile

[amber wigeon]

Or turtles

Actually crocodillians

[woven hamlet]

you can have all of ours

[amber wigeon]

I have seen a few dozen gators

[manic inlet]

I am not licensed to house rattlesnakes

[woven hamlet]

thats fine we have others

[manic inlet]

in fact im not sure you can legally own them if youre not a rehab program, reptile house, or zoo in colorado

[woven hamlet]

take them please 😭

[manic inlet]

but i can own things like tiger salamanders

[tropic thunder]

Fav spot near my house since my mum won't let me go spot on the bigger highway five minutes away🙄

[crisp whale]

Honse

Brother

Salamanders?

[amber wigeon]

I have seen a grand total of 7 snake species in the wild

[crisp whale]

Rookie numbers

[amber wigeon]

Gonna hopefully add 3 or 4 this summer

5*

[crisp whale]

Good luck

[amber wigeon]

I haven’t even found 2 of the 3 native snakes here

Bc they are very fragmented

[crisp whale]

It’s important to me to share that this is an amphibian

[manic inlet]

im aware

[tropic thunder]

Ive seen a total of 0 because of my homie Saint Patrick 🕊

[manic inlet]

im allowed to take them from the wild in my state actually

no more than 4

and not for commercial sale

just to keep apparently

can do the same with hognose snakes and bullsnakes

[amber wigeon]

Ya’ll have one native reptiles and it’s literaly called the common lizard 😭

[tropic thunder]

LMAOO

Didnt know that😭

[woven hamlet]

son

where do you live

im trying to move in

[amber wigeon]

Ireland

[manic inlet]

happie i have moar elk news

[woven hamlet]

im otw son

[manic inlet]

I shared it with hyrax last night

[tropic thunder]

me?

[amber wigeon]

The population growth?

[manic inlet]

yus

[amber wigeon]

I saw

[woven hamlet]

yur

[manic inlet]

a few specific herds kinda like, exploded

[tropic thunder]

Up tipperary

[amber wigeon]

Now you guys have just enough to feed jerry

[manic inlet]

the San Juan Herd increased by 50% in one year

from 21,000 to 31,000 animals

[woven hamlet]

is that like a lot for elk?

[manic inlet]

population growth is usually single to low double digit percentages due to high calf mortality and yearling death

around 9 to 14%

[crisp whale]

I’m ashamed to share a last name with you

[manic inlet]

a "high" jump in a year is usually considered 20 to 35%

[crisp whale]

That’s such a stupid question 😭

[manic inlet]

35+, let alone 50%, is insane

[manic inlet]

damn bro whatd he do

that aint a dumb question, he aint the elkmaster

[crisp whale]

He should know

[manic inlet]

but y tho

[woven hamlet]

wow

what kinda elk are they

[manic inlet]

rocky mountain elk

meanwhile the White River Herd went from 36,000 to 42,000 animals

[woven hamlet]

appreciate your patience 🙏

[manic inlet]

[manic inlet]

good pronghorn hunting

increasingly endangered by drought conditions from FARMING RICE IN THE DESERT

[woven hamlet]

i dont know about farming but i do know rice needs water

[manic inlet]

about a foot of standing water and a total of like 34 inches of precipitation during the growing season

in an area of the country that has little to no persistent standing water

and annual precipitation less than 12 inches

[woven hamlet]

damn

[manic inlet]

meaning it gets a third the rain in a one year period that rice needs in 3.5 months

[manic inlet]

it gets worse, as with all crops, modern farms use that lazy ass overhead irrigation

which, since theyre ran in the middle of the day

waste 45 to 75% of the water to evaporation before it can even reach the plant

depending on heat and humidity

of the portion that reaches the plant usually half to two thirds can be absorbed before it evaporates off the plant itself or out of the dirt

[woven hamlet]

wow that seems kinda dumb

[manic inlet]

basically the depending on those systems has likely doubled to tripled our agricultural water use compared to ground level irrigation

[woven hamlet]

wow

[manic inlet]

and on top of that we use 9.5 billion gallons of water annually to water green turf grass on lawns, golf courses, and other land tracts

[woven hamlet]

😭

so we're cooked

thats fantastic

[main trail]

Yup

[craggy plaza]

Ik its a focking waste..

Takes up a shite ton of land aswell

[manic inlet]

a horrific waste

[craggy plaza]

Imagine if it was used for food or revitalized into forests

Also

Avocados are horrid aswell

[manic inlet]

imagine if watering corn and soybeans didnt take 3 times as much water as it should because of inefficient irrigation systems

[craggy plaza]

Avocados take 80 gallons of water per tree for a single harvest..

[manic inlet]

not terrible considering the make about 400 to 450lbs per tree per harvest

at maturity at least

soybeans I think are 240 gallons of water per pound

and corn's close to 500

[craggy plaza]

Yeah but the foods ass and isn't great nutrition wise

[manic inlet]

it has pretty good fats and its better dietarily than the abhorrent amounts of sugar in corn

also has good actually digestible fiber content

[craggy plaza]

Corn is used wayy too much

[tropic thunder]

Hello guys im back

[amber wigeon]

Guys help there is 4 random army guys downstairs

[craggy plaza]

Its in almost everything

[tropic thunder]

Wait what country are you in again

[manic inlet]

its because the biofuel market and corn syrup market was just kinda made up to protect corn farming instead of just

letting the market be the market

and push excess production out business

[amber wigeon]

The netherlands my sister is in the army

[manic inlet]

but no we let grain farming become a cartel

[amber wigeon]

Not warfare dw

[amber wigeon]

I mostly see scania

[craggy plaza]

Also the apple situation is so sad😞

[amber wigeon]

And mercedes

[manic inlet]

which one

[manic inlet]

i respect scania but I cant trust cabovers

[craggy plaza]

100s of apple varieties were trashed

[manic inlet]

any low barrier collision and the cab can just fly tf off the chassis

[tropic thunder]

Yeah scania is like basically the most popular truck brand ever

In Europe atleast

I love them

[tropic thunder]

Yea but the emergency stop system on the Volvos will probably make that almost impossible

Have you seen the vidoes

[craggy plaza]

Most were cool and unique, and tasted good, but they only kept ones that shipped well

[manic inlet]

as long as the sensors don't fail yes

and as with any and every safety assume by some wierd improbably metric it can randomly fail

[tropic thunder]

I doubt anything would fail on a Volvo😆

[amber wigeon]

I ain’t tryna flex now…. But i am taller then every army guys downstairs rn

[obsidian bay]

copycat movie

[tropic thunder]

Yea but thats like 100,000 times in 8,000,000,000+

[manic inlet]

Murphy's Law says wild and bad stuff happens cause it can and random tech failure do be out here causing problems

[tropic thunder]

Yeaaaaaah but I wouldnt worry about it

I dunno who Murphy is anyways, he can't hurt me.

[manic inlet]

i never said the concern was rational lmao

[tropic thunder]

This conversation reminds me of this Aero edition I saw one morning.

[amber wigeon]

I do NOT want to be social rn

[manic inlet]

wild thing is most of those would probably be better adjusted to climate change than modern ones

[tropic thunder]

Overcome your fears

Might hop on vc idk

[amber wigeon]

Not even fear just genuine inability to talk with them

Let’s just say they are fit for war not for university

[tropic thunder]

Just dont say anything and grab a drink

[amber wigeon]

Wish me luck….

[tropic thunder]

I hope they start a conversation with you

[amber wigeon]

Might have to wait till they leave there is genuinely a dozen people rn

[tropic thunder]

A bakers dozen or just a dozen

[amber wigeon]

Kyrgyzstan

[white quail]

Is that a country?

[craggy plaza]

Ye

[amber wigeon]

Yes…

[white quail]

Didn't even know that was a real place

Crazy name for a country

[woven hamlet]

happie son there is a large lizard in my house

[amber wigeon]

Wild?

Or a pet

[woven hamlet]

its the crocdile thing or wtv

[amber wigeon]

CAIMAN

[woven hamlet]

she put it in my room 😭

[woven hamlet]

is that not a crocodile

[amber wigeon]

Crocodilian but not a crocodile

More closely related to alligators

[obsidian bay]

flash'em the peace sign when you walk by to get a drink

✌️

[amber wigeon]

I think i might just go invisible

Wish i had flat stanley powers like seamus

[woven hamlet]

ok ok

[woven hamlet]

flat stanley is wicked

poor seamus

[amber wigeon]

Gonna be taking the big tent for the roadtrip

This is looking like a fun time

[woven hamlet]

funn

[amber wigeon]

First time camping outside of the backyard lol

[woven hamlet]

also apparently its very expensive to keep this thing

[amber wigeon]

Yes several factors

Feeding

Basking lamp (this isn’t too bad)

Probably just upkeeping the enclosure

And health checkups

[tropic thunder]

Hello again chat

[tropic thunder]

Moths

[woven hamlet]

gotta build the enclosure first

[amber wigeon]

Do you know if it’s going to be like a nice realistic enclosure or is vengence going for simplicity?

Wait i already know this

Gonna be amazon basin based

[woven hamlet]

for the sake of my wallet and my sanity i would hope simplicity

knowing her as well as i do

its gonna be very realistic

and require a lot of work

[amber wigeon]

Upside of realistic is that it will minimalise stress

[woven hamlet]

she also wants to expand upon the pre exisiting building since its a "semi social animal"

[amber wigeon]

Minimal stress= minimal health complications

[amber wigeon]

I got a stupid sounding tip for you

[manic inlet]

yeah, speckies need some company to be truly happy

[woven hamlet]

hit me

[woven hamlet]

😭

[tropic thunder]

Guys if you do anything in your life PLEASE buy ice cream sauce 😭

Its so good omg

Just put it in a tub

Yes i ate that all by myself and no im not ashamed

[amber wigeon]

You don’t gotta learn to love the reptiles

But just learn not to mind them

I don’t even react when a crocodile takes my arm anymore

[woven hamlet]

son

[craggy plaza]

Not sweet nor sour or anything to devour

[tropic thunder]

I didnt catch that reference im sorry

[woven hamlet]

rip to my wallet ig

arent crocodilians mean??

[amber wigeon]

They never say no to a meal

[craggy plaza]

Says the cat

[craggy plaza]

Blud sneezed on his iced creme and called it delish

[amber wigeon]

Only reason that they are considered mean is because the big species are big enough to a point where they see humans as prey

[woven hamlet]

are they gonna eat me

[craggy plaza]

Prety💔

[amber wigeon]

Hopefully otherwise it’ll starve

[woven hamlet]

son

[woven hamlet]

is it gonna eat me

[amber wigeon]

Probably not

Even at max size you are good

[amber wigeon]

How much do you weigh again

[woven hamlet]

260 ish

[amber wigeon]

Yeah even at max size that is not eating you

Black caiman would

But they can get up to 20 feet

[woven hamlet]

ehhhh

that sounds bad

[amber wigeon]

True but spectacled get up to 8

Half of which is tail

[crisp whale]

If it are you it likely wouldn’t eat again for multiple years

[craggy plaza]

https://youtube.com/shorts/9Z4hSSnyPkw?si=4GtdMvQ-MbZM9RSs this gonna be fire

[crisp whale]

Even the saltwater crocs usually only eat about 220 lbs of food

A YEAR

[dusty socket]

yeah, it's nuts how crocodiles can go about 2 years without food.. imagine not having your next meal until spring of 2028

[crisp whale]

Yeah it’s crazy

Saltwater crocs are dangerous but tbh I’d rather be in a room with a saltie then a angry German shepherd

[white quail]

I would be sad ngl 😭

[past bison]

New weightloss diet just dropped:

[obsidian bay]

[amber wigeon]

Tyk i’m going looking for diva amphibians in germany

Look how sassy they look 😭

They are always striking some epic pose

[serene radish]

The sass is everywhere

Its universal across all lizards

[amber wigeon]

Lizards are just mean

You’ll see them sticking out of walls and burrows and they are always giving side eyes

[serene radish]

You can't convince me that arent doing it on purpose

They know..

[amber wigeon]

Only lizard that would never judge is the goat ❤️‍🩹

This guy is very judgmental tho

[lavish marsh]

Worm boi

[amber wigeon]

Yes worm boy

He was surprisingly strong

[serene radish]

Blanus our beloved

[lavish marsh]

[amber wigeon]

I can’t go downstairs to eat breakfast

[lavish marsh]

Why

[amber wigeon]

There is 6 random dudes my sister invited

https://tenor.com/view/lowtiercat-ptsdcat-gif-2094566730569540919

[lavish marsh]

Workout then go down there with the most aura looking super buff

I'm starting to look a little buff

[amber wigeon]

I’m built like a stickman

[amber wigeon]

Pls do not punch me into the sun

[lavish marsh]

I'll think about it

[amber wigeon]

Ok thank you

I am much taller then them all tho

Already gained a bit of aura with that

[lavish marsh]

Can't relate

Would you be scared of a 1.5m security guard

[amber wigeon]

A little but that’s bc he can punch me straight in the vitals

[lavish marsh]

What if he's a she

[amber wigeon]

Women can still punch me in the vitals 😭

[amber wigeon]

Or they’ll pull a cartoon move and keep going in between my legs

[serene radish]

I leave for a bit and just see happie talking about getting punched

[amber wigeon]

Yes lots of people want to harm you when you’re as cool as me

[serene radish]

I love this sticker

[amber wigeon]

Bald cat vs that guy in a staring contest

The blankest of stares

[serene radish]

Blanus would win

[amber wigeon]

Billy jay is threatening me 😔

In pet pics

[serene radish]

When isnt Jay threatening you

[amber wigeon]

Sometimes when she is not out to harm somebody

[serene radish]

True

[long ember]

I put the blanket my grandma made on the floor for cleo to check out and she seems very unimpressed

In fact she seems to hate it

[tropic thunder]

Hi guys

Drifting today

Eating breakfast rn

[sick briar]

so I'm playing subnautica 2 and I uh found the big boy

I'm at a destroyed base at the edge of a giant drop off into nothingness and then you get a new beacon 600m into the open water and I was bust debating whether I should just go for it or try dive to the ocean floor wherever it was and then from the fog in the distance bro emerges and tells me "yeah nah that's a bad idea lil bro"

[long ember]

The void leviathan?

[sick briar]

nah the big boy that isn't the void leviathan

Mr on the cover big boy

you can't see him in these photos he's a secret 🤫

[hoary wharf]

Subnautica 2?

[obsidian bay]

I need photos of EVERYTHING you see

What part of Germany are you gonna be in

[obsidian bay]

FLEX ON'EM

[lavish marsh]

YEAHHH 💪💪💪

[hoary wharf]

Tuff

[lavish marsh]

Pink or purple

[obsidian bay]

Hmm

Purple

The ratatouille pillow sends me

Every time

[lavish marsh]

He makes the vibe

[sick briar]

yuh

[hoary wharf]

Dang I want it on ps5 lol

[lavish marsh]

I got it for my pc but it could NOT run it

Graphics card gave up

Got it on xbox instead since W devs made it cross platform 🫶

[hoary wharf]

😭

Idek when subnautica 2 is coming to ps

[lavish marsh]

When the full release is done

[amber wigeon]

End destination is Schwarzwald region, but along the way we’ll make a few stops in the rhein valley

Gonna look for dice snakes, aesculapian snakes, smooth snakes, western green lizard, green toad, fire salamander and yellow fire bellied toad

[past bison]

I have so much to do for today and I’ve already done a bunch of my to do list 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I’m being productive af todayy

[sick briar]

does it not have early access on Ps yet?

[hoary wharf]

Nope

[sick briar]

damn I checked yeah it's only Xbox and pc

abyss maxxing

the map design in this game is WEIRD compared to the last 2

[lavish marsh]

Well yeah it's unfinished

[sick briar]

no I mean like the actual design like how subnautca 1 was just a giant circle

this map has a very distinct shape

[obsidian bay]

did you get your shiny deino?

[lavish marsh]

Wha

Is it CD

[obsidian bay]

yes

[lavish marsh]

I already have a bunch from last deino cd

And a hundo

[obsidian bay]

ohh ok

no hundos here :C

just a litwick I rescued from TR

[lavish marsh]

Got one

[obsidian bay]

😤

[hoary wharf]

Is it basically just subnautica the first 1

[sick briar]

no it's not like subnautica 1 shape at all

[hoary wharf]

Kk

[lyric furnace]

Wait is the early access out?

[sick briar]

yes (on PC and Xbox)

[lyric furnace]

Dang I need to check it out then

[sick briar]

I think you might need to buy the game first idk if it's free cos I just have gamepass so I've "got the game"

[lyric furnace]

I’ve got game pass as well

[crisp whale]

@obsidian bay he’s not listed on the internet so had to track down a pic. this is what he looks like

But he’s a baby

[obsidian bay]

oh my GOODNESS that is a gorgeous pattern

[amber wigeon]

Almost looks like a russel’s viper

[crisp whale]

Unfortunately my dad is an old ass man and prolly shouldn’t have a Burmese python

[loud panther]

We got another pokemon go mod 🤩

[crisp whale]

But it’s GORGEOUS

I want it😭

[loud panther]

I want to get a kingrat snake but my bank account says no

[obsidian bay]

damn.. Yeaahhh for safety's sake probably not :C

[loud panther]

Both of the common species in the pet trade are stunning

[crisp whale]

Burmese are sweet babies but sometimes they forget they’re 200 lbs and 20 feet long

[obsidian bay]

LOOK AT THIS GRUMPY FACE

I LOVE

[loud panther]

They get insane side eye potential

[obsidian bay]

Yes precisely 😂
Sweet... but chungus.

[amber wigeon]

They are almost built like a viper because they are so girthy

They are actually not called kings bc of their size but because the pattern between the scales is the same as the symbol for king in mandarin i think

[loud panther]

They look completely different from baby to adult also

Here's one slightly older

[amber wigeon]

Leopard snakes from europe are my favorite ratsnake

[loud panther]

Id been more keen on working towards one if they didn't have a nickname

[crisp whale]

I should be ashamed but I lwk don’t know either of those snakes off the top of my head

[loud panther]

Some people refer to them as stinking beauties or stinking goddess snakes

[amber wigeon]

Fired

[obsidian bay]

pfffahaha

[loud panther]

Their musk apparently is worse than skunk spray

[amber wigeon]

Leopard snakes are a pretty small but really pretty one from southern europe, they almost look like a corn with a different color scheme and kings are from east asia, china and taiwan iirc

[crisp whale]

Son why did I think it was a false water at first 😭

[amber wigeon]

Have you ever seen how similar several aquatic snakes are from different places

[crisp whale]

Yeah

[crisp whale]

Btw I was talking about these 😭

[amber wigeon]

Eastern water snakes and some other keelbacks from taiwan and mainland asia, dice snakes from europe and north american water snakes all look alike 😭

[crisp whale]

Neither of those are a leopard snake unless they’ve been painted 😭

[obsidian bay]

the ones posted are king rat's

[crisp whale]

Take my education away😭

It’s amazing to me how dumb I become when I lose a little sleep😭

[amber wigeon]

I can barely name every snake of europe on good sleep dw

I’m hoping i’m gonna find a 6 foot aesculapian snake in germany

[crisp whale]

Lwk I should move home and get that Burmese

[amber wigeon]

You’re gonna leave baddog behind with the caiman and basement snakes? 😭

[woven hamlet]

nah bro i wanna move home so badly but she refuses so i will be tagging along

[amber wigeon]

What’s home tho? Don’t you guys have your own house

[woven hamlet]

yeah we have our own place but i mean like our home town

[amber wigeon]

Ohhh

[woven hamlet]

im trying to live on her parents ranch 😭

[amber wigeon]

Whatever makes ya’ll happy

[craggy plaza]

@obsidian bay my hands cooked😭😭

The double pecking😭

[woven hamlet]

i started saying this to a girl and now i live with a mini crocodile and a ginger snake

[amber wigeon]

It might seem bad

But eventually you’ll be happy you did it

I hope that this will become reality bc my lawyer has limited me to 1 inspirational quote per month

[obsidian bay]

https://tenor.com/view/pour-drink-pouring-alcohol-respect-gif-5359107

[amber wigeon]

Now we have to eat chicken nuggets in remembrance of veloci’s fingers 😔

We used to have those little mini Indonesian chicken but they were really mean 😭 so they would peck at my hands all the time

[woven hamlet]

we have chickens and when they peck me i eat them

[amber wigeon]

Valid

[craggy plaza]

The females are nice unless they are broody

The males are just assholes

Then again they do no dmg lol

[woven hamlet]

damn reptiles have it out for me

[craggy plaza]

They are like 8 inches tall lmao

If even

[crisp whale]

Technically goats are fish and they don’t like you either

[amber wigeon]

I’m gonna eat dinner

[woven hamlet]

i need to eat lunch

[mossy badge]

I should eat breakfast

[craggy plaza]

Absolutely jumbo radish

[white quail]

Caught some water snakes today

A couple almost bit me lol

[craggy plaza]

So counts as a snack

[pulsar oak]

Bite it back ✌️

[white quail]

Shoulda ngl

[lavish marsh]

Taco

[obsidian bay]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-redford-jeremiah-johnson-nodding-yes-nod-of-approval-gif-21066931

[jovial flare]

That’s a burrito

[lavish marsh]

No

[jovial flare]

Yes

[lavish marsh]

It's swedish taco

[dusty socket]

sweden don't know what a taco is

[jovial flare]

You folded the bottom thus making it a burrito

[lavish marsh]

I will block you now

[woven hamlet]

yall gotta learn to celebrate culture 😭

let sweden make their tacos however they want

[jovial flare]

Don’t be offended just accept it’s a burrito

[jovial flare]

No

[lavish marsh]

It's not a correct taco It's a swedish taco and we love that

[jovial flare]

Its a burrito

[dusty socket]

they can wrap anything they want in a flatbread.. ain't a taco though

[lavish marsh]

In Sweden it's a taco

[dusty socket]

that's like me ordering a ribeye and a side of mashed potatoes and calling it a pizza

[jovial flare]

What you showed me are tacos

What you made is a burrito

[amber wigeon]

Luckily it’s not norway….

filled lefse….

[lavish marsh]

If someone says "we are serving tacos" this is what you get

[dusty socket]

someone really should go to europe and teach them how to do mexican food properly

[lavish marsh]

😭

[lavish marsh]

Definitely

[white quail]

They ain't ever seen a Mexican 😭

[dusty socket]

heck, part of my family is mexican.. my aunt is who i learned a lot of it from

[amber wigeon]

Tacos in mexico are closer to that then hard shelled tacos

[jovial flare]

I-

No

[white quail]

Dang so Sweden do know tacos?

[amber wigeon]

No

[lavish marsh]

I bet real tacos are real good but I haven't tried em

[jovial flare]

Okay guys as a Texan and someone who grew up Hispanic we are getting so far away from what a taco is😭😭

[dusty socket]

they are, but they're messy

[woven hamlet]

have you like been to mexico?

[amber wigeon]

Yes

[jovial flare]

That’s because you don’t eat em right

[lavish marsh]

But this is a Swedish taco not a real taco

[dusty socket]

real tacos are generally folded and hardened shells, like a chip.. they have a tendency to shatter once you bite them

[amber wigeon]

They called me el gato baldo

[lavish marsh]

El taco baldo

[woven hamlet]

same but like just let the swedish people live

[amber wigeon]

I’m like a anticlimactic cat in boots

[dusty socket]

if i want crunch to my mexican food, I'll put a handfull of corn chips inside a burrito

[woven hamlet]

in exchange they give us their glorious red fish

[amber wigeon]

Think the og name is censored here

[lavish marsh]

Yum

I can't have em rn cause of braces

[jovial flare]

Zircom eating a taco in another country does not instantly make it a taco by that countries name it is universally a taco. You made a burrito because you folded the bottoms inwards to hold one side together to comfortably eat the rest. Hard shell tacos are Tex Mex and I somewhat despise them and don’t find them to be as comfortable nor appealing to eat.

[dusty socket]

this weekend I'm making fajitas with lamb meat

[amber wigeon]

I’m surprised

[lavish marsh]

Dude it's not a big deal

[jovial flare]

It is

[lavish marsh]

Here it's called taco

[jovial flare]

YOU MADE A BURRITO

[woven hamlet]

i lwk ate wtv i wanted with my braces 😭

[jovial flare]

YOU SHOWED ME TACOS

[woven hamlet]

son its not that serious 😭

[lavish marsh]

I didn't make up the name pff

[jovial flare]

you can’t fold in the bottom of a taco and then call it a taco

[lavish marsh]

I just wanted to show off my yummy dinner

[jovial flare]

You made a burrito

[amber wigeon]

It’s a lefse guys it’s all a lefse

[dusty socket]

a mexican friend of mine keeps giving me new ideas of stuff to try.. she had me make pozole, and carnitas

[lavish marsh]

Coke zero tortilla

[lavish marsh]

Sure

[woven hamlet]

i think you dinner looks great zir and if you wanna call it a taco i give you permission with my hispanic card

[jovial flare]

Why is sex a word

[lavish marsh]

6

[woven hamlet]

i change my mind

[dusty socket]

this is pozole.. sort of a mexican stew/soup made with hominy and pork

[lavish marsh]

LMAO

[woven hamlet]

this is wicked work

[lavish marsh]

Yummm

[dusty socket]

problem is, you probably couldn't get these ingredients in europe to make that

[jovial flare]

Why are we now posting soups

[woven hamlet]

that looks gas

[loud panther]

About 2 hours until this gug finally gets evolved

[lavish marsh]

Why not

[jovial flare]

You can make pozole or tacos in Europe

😭

[lavish marsh]

Tacos and soups can all be posted here

[dusty socket]

true tacos and burritos, you probably can get the ingredents for.. you may need to make the seasoning from scratch.. but it's mostly chili powder and cuman

[lavish marsh]

Niceee

[loud panther]

And then I continue work on my tyranitar army

[jovial flare]

You can Google taco recipes

[dusty socket]

i'm not sure hominy is going to be easily found in Europe

[lavish marsh]

Probably in some small markets

[loud panther]

Traded some of the weaker ones, I had over 50 at one point

[dusty socket]

it's usually canned so perhaps

but if i was going to describe hominy.. it's like the texture of a bean, but the flavor of a corn tortilla

[lavish marsh]

There are small stores with imported stuff

We had an Asia market here but it closed :(

[jovial flare]

Not all pozoles need hominy but I would say it’s the traditional way to make it you can substitute it though for chickpeas

[dusty socket]

i wouldn't... completely different flavor

if you can't get hominy, don't bother, make carnitas instead

[loud panther]

Correction I've had 96 of them

[lavish marsh]

Jeez

[jovial flare]

Hot take carnitas are mid

[dusty socket]

well, that's your opinion

[loud panther]

They are my children

[jovial flare]

90% of the time you likely order them from a restaurant the meat will be dry

You have to make that shi at home lmao
