Batman cat 👆🏼

Then became a father

Look what happened next

…

Lol I sounded like a cringe YouTuber intro 💀

[gray adder]

My cat since we are posting cats again

Old lady

[tepid knot]

If Dondi doesn’t personally give me a Dilo chia pet, I’m sending my friend Mark

I’m waiting

[modest isle]

And here is Miyuki
Behind her is her Daughter Brownie (the cat in my PFP)

[gray adder]

Pretty

[modest isle]

Your cat is pretty too

[gray adder]

My cats a walking corpse

[modest isle]

[modest isle]

How old are they

Miyuki is the oldest cat we have she is 3 years old

[elder veldt]

I have cat too!

[gray adder]

almost 20 years whatever that is in cat years

[modest isle]

That’s impressive

Let me see in google

For cat years

[elder veldt]

160 year old cat

eldritch cat

[modest isle]

💀

[elder veldt]

Oh I see it’s 96 years in cat years

[modest isle]

Oh

[modest isle]

@gray adder
Your 20 year old cat is basically like a 96 year old human

[flint wren]

We talking CATS

[modest isle]

So cute

[flint wren]

The orange one is Captain and the cream one is Perl

Perl is OLD

like 16-17

[sullen wind]

Is this true or nahhh?

[flint wren]

Its brain is very small

I don't know about a second brain tho

[sullen wind]

Yeah I dont know what It means by 'brain'. I might look into it

[flint wren]

I'd assume they mean something similar to the extra 8 brains an octopus has

[storm oak]

I don't think this would be the case. Lots of animals today like sheep have quite small brains but do just fine because they don't need that much brainpower for their lifestyles. Most prey dinos that were herbivores probably didn't need much brain for what they did day to day. Especially since Stego has a tail weapon, it would have had to be coordinated enough to be somewhat effective with it at least, meaning there was likely some thinky thinky parts working.

[flint wren]

They can control movements but apart from that they can't do much

[storm oak]

Also no birds or reptiles we know of have multiple brains normally, I think it's just cephalopods and insects and whatnot

[sullen wind]

Thats what I was assuming aswell

[flint wren]

Yeah would be a weird thing

[storm oak]

I mean look at a giant anteater head, that thing gives me stego vibes but i feel like they do ok enough

[spice gyro]

This is from 1881, and has been outdated for a looooong time. Don’t know who believed a singular paper from the time of the Wild West

[sullen wind]

I mean, the T-rex is shown to be pretty stupid compared to small raptors when their skulls are sized up to scale. I don't know a lot about stegosaurus, it never really interested me, but I would assume its like the same thing. Of course some people today still believe stegosaurus does have a very tiny brain

[flint wren]

T-Rex is actually one of the smartest dinosaurs

At least a study that was done suggests that

It being as smart as a modern primate like a baboon

[sullen wind]

Do you know which study?

[flint wren]

Gimme a sec

[sullen wind]

I wanna see 🥺

[flint wren]

It was a study authored by Suzana Herculano-Houzel

Here is a news article about it

https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/what-a-tyrannosaurus-rex-skull-tells-us-about-its-intelligence#

obviously, there are a lot of “Ifs” and “buts” in the study but that's pretty much paleontology

[sullen wind]

Yeah I just read another study from Suzana Herculano-Houzel

I feel like the brain is obviously much bigger, compared to utah-raptors, but scaled to the same size obviously utah raptor would be smarter

[flint wren]

Brain size does affect stuff but not everything

[sullen wind]

Yup, that being said, I feel like problem-solving, memory, and high emotional intelligence could be debated between the two

I would assume creatures that work in packs with a social structure would have a overall good amount of traits such as those

[flint wren]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we have any actual evidence that Utahs hunted in packs

I'm pretty sure that's just an assumption

[sullen wind]

Uhh erm troodon then

Its assumption that utah raptors did live in packs, yes, but its highly believed. I, too, believe this, because im pretty sure other dinosaurs also lived in packs, so its likely smaller dinosaurs did too

[spice gyro]

Stego did have a small brain for it’s body size, but the idea of a second brain is very old and extremely outdated. Was based on a random opening in the vertebral area iirc

[sullen wind]

Thanks for clearing that up, do you know any studies done of the amount of neurons in a stegosaurus?

[spice gyro]

I don’t, but I’m sure someone in #paleotalk would know

[sullen wind]

thanks, I'll check it out later

[flint wren]

Troodon isn't a valid genus anymore

[sullen wind]

real

[flint wren]

The only bone that didn't get confirmed to be part of a different dinosaur was a single tooth

what is this supposed to be?

[tame python]

basically a Jurassic World cross over with Magic The Gathering TCG

pretty excited. also looks like it will get a Secret Lair set as well. Secret Lair sets are basically a small handful of cards with special edition art/design work. They usually look pretty neat

[barren bear]

interesting

[still stag]

Is battlefield 2042 good now? I'm really craving battlefield right now and I'm thinking about buying it if its improved enough. I don't expect No Mans Sky levels of redemption but still

[young gale]

I love that game

[rough hollow]

Compared to what it was at release, yeah its decent now

[modest isle]

Classic old car

posting here since I dunno if its allowed in isle fan art lol

[drowsy egret]

troodon doesnt exist

[drowsy egret]

that single tooth is now stenonychosaurs tooth iirc

and troodon is known from a single tooth
and troodon is now stenonychosaurus as all of its fossils (single tooth) was assigned to stenon

[fallen tartan]

Nah, Opera GX is the most best and cursed browser wtf🤣

[azure oar]

Wat
It wasn’t even officially released yet
and appears to have been taken down

[smoky mauve]

this meme doesnt work for the isle

[prime crow]

Oh damn guess it was a leak my bad

[azure oar]

Yea release is 10.

[prime crow]

Oh that's not too far off

[azure oar]

But archelon thingy was officially released

[prime crow]

I'm super excited I love aquatics and I'm tired of them getting no attention

Oooo link?

[azure oar]

Shows eat and social https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mlxT9LKLM4U&pp=ygUaanVyYXNzaWMgd29ybGQgZXZvbHV0aW9uIDI%3D

[prime crow]

Hell yeab

[azure oar]

I can’t wait too
The last two DLC‘s and updates were STRONG

If we now got a flyer pack and update with the same quality then it would be great

[prime crow]

Legit

The flyer and swimming guys have just been so flat for so long

I got a park I whipped up quick to watch socials in the bay map

[azure oar]

At least better than JWE1

[prime crow]

Jwe1 hurts my soul

I love these recons I wish we got this level of quality in the whole game

[azure oar]

Never thought of that, great idea!

[prime crow]

But also I do love some of the foul looking guys too

[prime crow]

I'm just worried about some of the new stuff not working cause the bay map is weird

[azure oar]

I mostly delete my sandbox parks after a new update+dlc Drops but I can’t wait for this one because it coincides with me wanting to make sandbox parks on Mediterranean maps

[prime crow]

I wish we got more bay maps like the med one

Like one with several natural pools

[azure oar]

Oh yea it sometimes is really wonky but as long as they don’t snap to like the middle of a Lagune I would dare to say everything will work

[prime crow]

I hope they alter the map so u can take monorail tracks over it too

Some vertical stuff to the large area would really bring it together

[azure oar]

Never tried it but yea that could make for some great shots

Also maybe they could make a maps pack for more variety because for the old maps there obviously never was the potential to us old features

Do hyperloops and tunnels work under the natural lagoon? Have you ever tried that?

[prime crow]

I'd a lot like a option to play fences the same way u place lagoons and then u can edit them in more detail too

[prime crow]

I'm not sure but it'd be cool if u could see the tunnel underwater

Doubt that's a thing but yeab

[azure oar]

Maybe something like that will happen for the underwater viewing gallery
Although I don’t know how easy that is to code considering it’s a solid object

[prime crow]

I wonder if they are gonna use the bug feeder and water platform for more animals

[prime crow]

Yeah idk. I hope more depth comes to the water guys

[azure oar]

Water platform? You mean the thingy on wich archelon and notho can rest?

[prime crow]

Yeah

[azure oar]

I could very well see them expand on that considering they did that with things like bioluminescence

[prime crow]

Oooh true

[azure oar]

Sad that old things don’t get updated to never standards tho

[prime crow]

It'd be cool if frontier made a dino park game independently from universal

But one thing I like about jwe is that it's also easy to get into

Pz and pk both have an issue of being too much like an art program

[azure oar]

Also the most underrated thing in the free update is that you can now make buildings look destroyed without waiting 5000 hours for a tornado

[prime crow]

I didn't know that

[azure oar]

Yea it’s sometimes hard to use for people who like simpler builders (like me)

[prime crow]

That's huge

[prime crow]

Yeah like it's rough if I wanna do that much detail I'd just draw it lol

I mostly like to watch the animals

[azure oar]

I like them but most days I only have like 2 hours time and If I don’t want to put an entire week into the entrance area them I have some problems

Anyways let me look at the brief overview of the free update again

[prime crow]

Very excited for the social anims

[azure oar]

-Custom Challenge mode
-Underwater viewing
-Favoriting dinosaurs and skins
-placeable Jurassic park san diego center thingy
-turning on and of if guest get killed by and attacked by dinosaurs
-and below the section of other sandbox changes (freely translated from german) „you will find out that you can give your buildings cosmetic damage without affecting gameplay. you can select in the demolishing menu if you want your building to look destroyed“

[azure oar]

Hope they are for everyone and it just wasn’t in the free update overview
Although, because I will buy it, I won’t be absolutely destroyed if it is DLC only

[prime crow]

This is so cool

Wish they were more open to mods it's a pain to mod jwe

[azure oar]

Yea I really hope that they give more modding capability before they stop developing and I hope that is in a really really far away time

[honest dune]

best part of the movie

[acoustic dune]

[limpid surge]

That’s literally me right there (Ryan Gosling)

[acoustic dune]

Woah no way

[limpid surge]

Yes way

[soft lily]

Is that rice and bread

[prime crow]

looks like rice and meat probably a dry rub i think

[mortal matrix]

Gonna eat it all before you

[agile gorge]

It’s pork chops

[agile gorge]

Close

[agile gorge]

Bet

[mortal matrix]

Already ate and took one of your kidneys

[soft lily]

Omg I thought it was seeded bread haha

[shell rapids]

Ok Cheeto I gotta ask. Is this food u make? And is it just to show off? Or is it u learning to cook? Not to be rude I just been wondering

[mortal matrix]

@limber star

Fear my unit

[limber star]

i do not

[shell rapids]

What breed?

[mortal matrix]

German Shepperd

[mortal matrix]

It has anti tank weaponry

[shell rapids]

Really? Doesnt look like most gsheps I've seen. Still pretty tho

[limber star]

i am all powerful

[mortal matrix]

You are stinky

[limber star]

yeah

[mortal matrix]

Stinky means weaker

[limber star]

nuh uh

[mortal matrix]

Yes

[limber star]

not true

[mortal matrix]

And you plan to give me the black plague?

[limber star]

yes

prepare to die

[mortal matrix]

Im gonna call black doctor

[limber star]

ok

im going to give you rabies

[mortal matrix]

Im gonna give you 200 bullets per second

[limber star]

not if i give you rabies first

[acoustic dune]

We will put you in a sock again >:)

[limber star]

you will have to avoid getting rabies

it permiates from my skin

[drowsy egret]

rabies is the easiest thing to treat

[limber star]

treat?

[drowsy egret]

go to the doctor fast
Easy u are cured

[limber star]

It is incurable, you will die.

[acoustic dune]

Bold of you to assume I don’t already have rabies (I have three seconds left to live)

[drowsy egret]

it is not

[limber star]

rip zergling

[drowsy egret]

if u go to the doctor fast it is easily curable

[limber star]

well i make it instantly established

[mortal matrix]

We put you die

[drowsy egret]

nuclear strike inbound

[mortal matrix]

You get inserted into a sock and then dumped in a river

[limber star]

i am too large for sock

[limber star]

i am too large

there is not a sock large enough to contain me

[mortal matrix]

Large sock

Yo momma sock is

Unless you bigger than yo momma

[dreamy geode]

yes. it's true! 100% (kill) cure rate!

[drowsy egret]

Brotha

when u get bit by a rabbid dog u can cure it

if its not too late

its easily treatable if u go there fast

[dreamy geode]

you are not curing the rabies you are treating that bite before you're infected, once you're infected by rabies it's over

[drowsy egret]

technically curing it

[dreamy geode]

that is not curing it. you don't have rabies yet, there is no cure for rabies

[limber star]

only 29 people have ever survived a rabies infection

[elder veldt]

Usually have some sort of long lasting life afflicting side affects too

Rabies also makes you scared of water

[full patrol]

Hydrophobic

[elder veldt]

Yes

[void zinc]

There's two things; 1, a group of people are actually able to survive rabies but you're not one of them. 2, once you show symptoms, you're too late, but there is a regiment of shots to take so you won't get returned to the character select menu - they hurt like hell and you need to get them IMMEDIATELY if you even think you don't know where animal that bit you came from.

If you're from a specific village in Peru, you have a chance of survival. Everyone else is turbo-doomed.

[gray adder]

It doesn't make you scared of water lol

[valid turret]

I'm not disappointed.

best killer we've gotten in years

jesus the amount of detail put into this thing.

[tepid jay]

yea i saw the ptb today

pleasantly surprised

the tunnel system is what demo wish it had

[void zinc]

I completely missed that guy saying that and thought you were having a stroke or something.

[young gale]

Ive been playing the ptb

Alien is actually so much fun

Tbh this might be like the best chapter DBD has ever had

[digital sleet]

2 kinds of rabies

dumb rabies and anger rabies

humans have only been recorded suffering from dumb rabies

[young gale]

🤨

[digital sleet]

dumb rabies is the actual term for it too

cos it makes you “dumb”

[dreamy geode]

i got cool awesome rabies because im like cool and awesome liek that

and handsome rabies too'

[modest isle]

WHAT ????

https://tenor.com/view/looking-around-what-confused-gif-21065154

Just stay away from animals that are infected with Rabies

Dont make me repeat that again or else

[hybrid obsidian]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1072993346370416741/1138649241275875338/giphy.gif

[still stag]

they dont show symptoms immediatly, any wild animal could be infected

[modest isle]

[shell rapids]

Use prehistoric nature
It's much larger. Has a lot of effort put in. Focused on accuracy and more than just dinos or animals (I think it started as a tree mod)

[limber star]

oh does it just make em spawn tho

[shell rapids]

As I understand they're still work ing on filling out the Jurassic creatures

[limber star]

Fossils and Archeology relies on you finding fossils to make the dinosaurs exist

[shell rapids]

Fossil revival system
But there is a dimension for each era up to the Triassic (this far)

[limber star]

oh nice

[shell rapids]

In which. Yesm everything spawns

[limber star]

we should collab on a modpack (i am so lazy im sorry)

[shell rapids]

I can get some screenshots in a minute

[limber star]

I like modpacks that make the game difficult asf

[shell rapids]

Mine don't reallllyy make the game difficult
Put there plenty of mods that can get difficult

[limber star]

i love RLcraft

[shell rapids]

Mainly via abyssal craft and ice and fire

Maybe
MAYBE
I'll add nuclear craft and Trinity

[dreamy geode]

we talking minecraft mods?

[shell rapids]

Trinity adds nuclear warheads

Yee

[dreamy geode]

all the mods i use are stuck on 1.12.2 still

i use jurassic craft as i like the models and fossil system

[shell rapids]

I've been going back to 1.12 for prehistoric nature mainly

[dreamy geode]

but haven't heard of this one

[shell rapids]

But I have a nice 1.19.2 pack I like

[limber star]

i like bettermc to build stuff in creative

[shell rapids]

Dino mod
If u want accuracy and more than just dinos
Get it

[young gale]

did someone say Minecraft

[limber star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2odqVOR6lGM

[shell rapids]

It started as a tree mod. And dinos and other extinct fans came after iirc

[limber star]

made this a year ago

[shell rapids]

I can put up a Google drive link to send u if u wanna see the pack I've made and been using

[limber star]

watch pls its good

[shell rapids]

It mostly runs bar some freezing

[limber star]

i even added an outhouse

the audio is funky lmao

also the house sucks now that im looking at it

[shell rapids]

Not bad

Haven't made a proper build in a while

[limber star]

neither have i

[shell rapids]

Usually the world's I do build in get corrupted or something

The mc gods hate me idk

[limber star]

this is my most recent build

[shell rapids]

This is why I need to start a server that'll actually be played on

That gets me the motivation to actually do stuff

[limber star]

id play a server fr

esp a dino one

[shell rapids]

Mayhaps I'll try

3rd time's the charm u-u

[limber star]

hopefully!

[dreamy geode]

pretty! lemme see if i got screenshots of my recent one

[shell rapids]

Blegh

I gotta see if it runs well
Edit to make it server side compatible
Fun stuff

[dreamy geode]

ive hosted 2 servers before with shockbyte, it works well and ran well with all my mods

[shell rapids]

Just wish there were better mod compatible world gen mods for old versions

I've been using exaraton
I'm just lazy and don't really have anyone to play test beyond myself

[elder veldt]

My bad rabies makes it so you can’t drink water because of throat spasms

[shell rapids]

So it's a lot of "start server"
"See if it runs well"
"Shut off server"
"Remove incompatible mod"
And rinse and repeat

[shell rapids]

alright gamers, i need opinions and change suggestions, this is baldurs gate 3

[elder veldt]

Left

But with eye scar

[smoky mauve]

Farm needs some work but the house looks very nice 👍

[shell rapids]

also seeing if i wanna do a dragonborn, sticking to the metallic subraces for roleplay reasons

its, , , really hard to get most of the metallics too look good u-u

[digital sleet]

i thinkl you should make a dragonborn brawler that beats everything to death with his fists

[shell rapids]

i thought about doing a monk

its either that or a cleric

since ive already messed with fighter and wizard

[fireball is everything ive ever hoped it to be]

this is the best i could do, brass and silver

also, one of the dragonborn tails is straight up just a xenomorph tail, its not even subtle

lictherally

[shell rapids]

might do oath of vengeance paladin

[lean vale]

ooh looks cool

insanely cool and well made

[shell rapids]

Word of advice if u have the game. Look at a dragonborn as a draconic ancestry sorcerer
It looks so cool

[azure oar]

I thought that was an ARK arthroploeura for a second

[sullen bay]

Why did my spino just walk out his enclousre through the fence like it was invisable in jwe1

[void musk]

Do you guys remember the good times?

The times where it wasn’t all Chinese servers the times where you could scroll and see a ther things the times where you could scroll and understand the names the times where the servers like dry reef and others where active

[honest dune]

Wait what
They’re not supposed to have tails

Was that changed recently?

[shell rapids]

Iirc they can
But don't have to have tails

No wait I am wrong
The 5e player handbook says theg don't have tails
Tho I don't think it's a big deal that In the baldurs gate canon they can

[void zinc]

Dragonborn don’t get tails, sometimes they get wings.
Lizardfolk get tails, no wings.

[steep hornet]

Good morning, fellow dino nerds.

[white cloak]

does anyone know any websites that sell rust keys for less than £30

First Animal species of the day (108) :
Lone Star Tick / (Amblyomma americanum)

Amblyomma americanum, also known as the lone star tick, the northeastern water tick, or the turkey tick, is a type of tick indigenous to much of the eastern United States and Mexico, that bites painlessly and commonly goes unnoticed, remaining attached to its host for as long as seven days until it is fully engorged with blood. It is a member of the phylum Arthropoda, class Arachnida.[2] The adult lone star tick is sexually dimorphic, named for a silvery-white, star-shaped spot or "lone star" present near the center of the posterior portion of the adult female shield (scutum); adult males conversely have varied white streaks or spots around the margins of their shields.

Range :

A. americanum is also referred to as the turkey tick in some Midwestern U.S. states, where wild turkeys are a common host for immature ticks.[4] It is the primary vector of Ehrlichia chaffeensis, which causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis, and Ehrlichia ewingii, which causes human and canine granulocytic ehrlichiosis.[5] Other disease-causing bacterial agents isolated from lone star ticks include Francisella tularensis, Rickettsia amblyommii, and Coxiella burnetti.

The tick follows the normal developmental stages of egg, larva, nymph, and adult, however is not known very well to transmit Lyme Disease. It is known as a three-host tick, meaning that it feeds from a different host during each of the larval, nymphal, and adult stages. The lone star tick attaches itself to a host by way of questing.[11] The eggs are laid on the ground, hatch, and the larvae wait for or actively seek a host (questing behavior). A larva feeds, detaches from its host, molts into a nymph when on the ground, and quests by crawling on the ground or waiting on vegetation. The nymph feeds and repeats the same process as the larva, but emerges having developed the anatomy of either an adult female or male. Adults quest similarly to nymphs. The female attaches only to a species of host for reproduction. The female engorges on much blood, expanding greatly, then detaches and converts the blood meal into eggs, which are laid on the ground. Females of large species of Amblyomma engorge to a weight of 5 g and lay 20,000 eggs. The female dies after this single egg-laying. The male takes repeated small meals of blood and attempts to mate repeatedly whilst on the same host.

Feeding times for larvae last 4–7 days, nymphs for 5–10 days, and adults for 8 to 20 days. The time spent molting and questing off the host can occupy the remainder of 6 to 18 months for a single tick to complete its lifecycle. The lifecycle timing is often expanded by diapause (delayed or inactivated development or activity) in adaptation to seasonal variation of moisture and heat. Ticks are highly adapted for long-term survival off the host without feeding and can extract moisture directly from humid air. However, survival is greatly reduced by excess heat, dryness, and lack of suitable hosts to which to attach. Survival on the host is also greatly reduced by grooming and by hypersensitive immune reactions in the skin against the feeding of the ticks.

Some bugs do and others we don’t know
But im not sure if they experience it in a human or mammal eay because it’s only mentioned of an acknowledgment of damage to the body if I read the stuff correctly although I only glanced over it

[modest isle]

🛑🛑Meanwhile ALL ANIMALS 🐈🦆🐍
Including humans feel pain 🛑🛑

[modest isle]

Yep probably

[elder veldt]

pit bulls ignore pain to an extreme level

[modest isle]

[elder veldt]

casually

[azure oar]

Nah we have no evidence of humans feeling pain

[modest isle]

Probably because of adrenaline rush
They will feel it later once they calm down

[modest isle]

[azure oar]

Till not to long ago we thought babies couldn’t feel pain and never used amnestics on them

[modest isle]

Oh my god

I mean they won’t remember it anyway

JK

[azure oar]

Yea

[shell rapids]

Fun fact
We're semi reliant on parasites as a way to get out immune response to calm tf down

First Animal species of the day (109) :
Common house mosquito / (Culex pipiens)

Culex is a genus of mosquitoes, several species of which serve as vectors of one or more important diseases of birds, humans, and other animals. The diseases they vector include arbovirus infections such as West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis, or St. Louis encephalitis, but also filariasis and avian malaria. They occur worldwide except for the extreme northern parts of the temperate zone, and are the most common form of mosquito encountered in some major U.S. cities, such as Los Angeles.

Range

Depending on the species, the adult Culex mosquito may measure from 4–10 mm (0.2–0.4 in). The adult morphology is typical of flies in the suborder Nematocera with the head, thorax, and abdomen clearly defined and the two forewings held horizontally over the abdomen when at rest. As in all Diptera capable of flight, the second pair of wings is reduced and modified into tiny, inconspicuous halteres

Formal identification is important in mosquito control, but it is demanding and requires careful measurements of bodily proportions and noting the presence or absence of various bristles or other bodily features.

The developmental cycle of most species takes about two weeks in warm weather. The metamorphosis is typical of holometabolism in an insect: the female lays eggs in rafts of as many as 300 on the water's surface. Suitable habitats for egg-laying are small bodies of standing fresh water: puddles, pools, ditches, tin cans, buckets, bottles, and water storage tanks (tree boles are suitable for only a few species). The tiny, cigar-shaped, dark brown eggs adhere to each other through adhesion forces, not any kind of cement, and are easily separated. Eggs hatch only in the presence of water, and the larvae are obligately aquatic, linear in form, and maintain their position and mostly vertical attitude in water by movements of their bristly mouthparts. To swim, they lash their bodies back and forth through the water.

[tired sentinel]

Houston actually isn’t that bad

It’s mostly Southern, Central and Western Texas that have it bad

[elder veldt]

It’s gonna be 103 today in Houston with 80% humidity which makes it feel hotter

[tired sentinel]

103 and 80% humidity aint nothin compared to what I have to experience today

[elder veldt]

oof

What exactly are you experiencing

[tired sentinel]

106, which doesn’t sound like much of a difference til you remember Houston actually got wind(somewhat) while currently Central Texas does not lol

(Humidity is 90% for my area)

[rough hollow]

80% humidity bruh, thats like taking a sauna

[elder veldt]

it’s gonna feel like 112 at it’s hottest today

First Animal species of the day (110) :
Beautiful demoiselle / (Calopteryx virgo)

The beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) is a species of damselfly in the family Calopterygidae. It is found in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia.[1] It is often found along fast-flowing waters where it is most at home.

Females lay up to 300 eggs at a time on emergent or floating plants, often on water-crowfoot. Like the banded demoiselle, they often submerge to do so. The eggs hatch after around 14 days. Again, like the banded demoiselle, the larvae are stick-like with long legs and develop over a period of two years in submerged vegetation, plant debris or roots. They usually overwinter in mud or slime.

The larvae of the beautiful demoiselle develop over 10 to 12 stages, each of which takes place between a moult. The body length is variable and highly dependent on environmental conditions. The final stage (F-0-stage) larvae are 3.5 to 4.6 millimetres and weigh about 4 milligrams, slightly below the banded demoiselle. Apart from the larvae of the demoiselles being difficult to distinguish from each other, the apparent differences lie mainly in the bristles and the severity of the tracheal gills on their abdomen. Compared to other damselflies demoiselles larvae fall immediately on the other hand, due to their much shorter mean gill lamella.

The distribution of the beautiful demoiselle covers all of Europe with the exception of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands and Iceland.[8][1] In the north it extends to the Arctic polar sea, and thus much further north than that of the banded demoiselle. On the North African Mediterranean coast, its southern populations in Morocco and Algeria can be found.[9] The northern boundary in Asia following the 13-°C July isotherm, it is therefore not in the areas where the average temperature in summer below 13 °C falls, otherwise they are met with in temperate and cool regions in the entire continent with the exception of deserts and the mountains of. The eastern subspecies of C. v. japonica found on the Japanese islands is under debate as to whether it is a separate species. The beautiful demoiselle is mostly found in lowland locations. Regular findings come from areas up to a maximum height of 980 m above sea level. Occasionally they may be found up to 1,200 meters in altitude, such as in the Alps.

The blue-winged demoiselle lives mainly near small to medium-sized streams and creeks.[7] They prefer a relatively low water temperature and a moderate to fast flow. The water must not be nutrient rich (eutrophic). In the northern part of their range, such as in Norway and Finland, it is also found near medium-sized rivers or even larger streams. The waters are usually in the immediate vicinity of forests.

[honest dune]

oh I figured you had watched everything alright

carry on then 🫡

[limpid surge]

I watch like 4 episodes a week

[sullen merlin]

Ye maybe its better to have these convos here lol

[limpid surge]

I rushed on part 1 and 2 so i kinda disliked them a lil

[sullen merlin]

Btw are yall manga readers?

[limpid surge]

Although the|| last 5 episodes|| of part 3 ||were painful||

[sullen merlin]

Have u watched bleach yet?

[honest dune]

I'm reading OPM and read jojo part6 before the anime came out but nah not a big fan

[limpid surge]

I have watched
-Aot
-Db series
-one piece
-jojo
In that order

[honest dune]

part 2 is very fun I'm a big fan

[limpid surge]

Only manga i could find myself reading is berserk

[sullen merlin]

I havent read anything cuz idk it feels like spoils for the anime. Like i wont feel the same things reading a book than watching the actual thing

Ye beserk manga is insane i heard

[limpid surge]

I sometimes read new chapters of one piece here and there

[frosty geyser]

my ranking of jojo parts is
8 . PHantom Blood
7 . Stardust Crusaders
6 . Battle Tendency
5 . Golden Wind
4 . Stone Ocean
3 . DIU
2 . Jojolion
1 . SBR

[limpid surge]

Starting from 8?

[sullen merlin]

If u like something more casual, dr stone is really nice

[frosty geyser]

8 is worst,1 is best

[honest dune]

looking good

[frosty geyser]

ye
PB is really overrated and boring

[limpid surge]

Golden wind is part 5 rught?

[honest dune]

I find it hard to compare phantom blood to the other ones honestly

[frosty geyser]

yeah, i honestly enjoyed it but not as much as the later parts

[honest dune]

feels more like an epilogue to the whole series honestly

[limpid surge]

Idk i heard it was like the worst

[honest dune]

not the best but I respect it

[frosty geyser]

its good

i love golden wind

[sullen merlin]

If u think something is bad just remeber boruto exists

[limpid surge]

I liked db series the most idk if i will like a casual

[frosty geyser]

or MHA
or Bleach
or any main stream anime thats not Death Note

[honest dune]

also you dont really get wacky panels like this in the other parts

like look at this

[sullen merlin]

I tried bleach 3 times and dropped it every time, couldnt get to ep 5 idk about MHA.

[honest dune]

hilarious

[frosty geyser]

this is like,one of arakis earliest mangas so

[honest dune]

yes

[frosty geyser]

bleach is hot garbage

the only good thing abt it is the power system

[sullen merlin]

Btw High school dxd new season when

[limpid surge]

Tbh I don’t find myself ever watching it cause of the art style i just don’t like it

[frosty geyser]

dont even bother with MHA too btw

you know those old gacha life videos? with basic ass stories and shi?
thats MHA

[sullen merlin]

I havent really gotten to the power system so idk. All i know is that it cant be worse than One piece

[limpid surge]

Only season am waiting for is Dragon ball super season 2

Moro arc 🥳🥳🥳

[honest dune]

also since we're on this topic
if you haven't already please watch Full Metal Alchemist (original or brotherhood is fine I've only watched brotherhood but I've heard the original is also very good)

[frosty geyser]

one pis isnt really THAT bad but im not watching 1k episodes

[gray adder]

You see my new dragonball drawing?

[limpid surge]

Haki and devil fruits is a good power system

[sullen merlin]

I wanted to start it but i heard mixes stuff from my friends

[limpid surge]

No

[frosty geyser]

isnt that power system based on luck?

[sullen merlin]

but then again one of the ppl i asked this says everyting is bad even though he hasnt watched it

[frosty geyser]

any power system based on luck sucks,thats why i hate mha's power system

[limpid surge]

It’s usually plot armor saving luffy then he gains a power up and wins

[limpid surge]

Thanks sick dude

[frosty geyser]

anyways
the best anime ever is cowboy bebop and you cant change my mind

[limpid surge]

Ur just making stuff up now

[frosty geyser]

"gear 5 will break the internet" the only thing it broke is the record of being boring af

[frosty geyser]

cowboy bebop is so good bro

[gray adder]

Dragonball will always be my favorite I grew up with it

[sullen merlin]

Nah idk, like when i compare it to naruto or black clover like. In naruto and stuff the power system is well explained and makes somewhat sense. In one piece devil fruits are extremely random, not explained etc. Same with haki, They never say how why or for what reason it is strong against logia specifically etc.

[limpid surge]

It crashed sites for like 20-30 minutes but nothing on ultra instinct level

[limpid surge]

Same

[frosty geyser]

who cares bro,OMG LUFFY GOT WHITE HAIR

[honest dune]

meanwhile stand arrows straight up just killing you

[frosty geyser]

OMG NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE OMG OGMGPSOSFASDA

[limpid surge]

He has the power of imagination not just white hair

[sullen merlin]

Gear 5 was nice but ngl, i know its meant to look goofy and im fine with it but the eyeballs falling out was too much for me

[frosty geyser]

power of friendship

[limpid surge]

The real question is are you mentally strong to become a stand user

[frosty geyser]

stands isnt a good power system
meanwhile spin is actually pretty neat

hamon sucks garbage tho

[limpid surge]

Spin is the sbr part thing?

[frosty geyser]

yeah

[honest dune]

this guy makes me question wether or not that's a real thing lol

[frosty geyser]

sbr also has stands but its kinda merged with spin

[limpid surge]

I liked the hamon part until it got repetitive

[sullen merlin]

Btw is the last season of AOT good?

[frosty geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/gyro-zeppeli-gyro-zeppeli-jojo-gif-21383940

[limpid surge]

It’s good they just keep on stalling for money

[limpid surge]

We kinda didn’t read the manga all i know is gyro is nasty and ate a horse poo

[sullen merlin]

Ngl for AOT till season 2 it was peak, but then they came with the boring ah backstory u thought u clicked on the wrong season and it got downhill from there

[frosty geyser]

lol thats not how it goes
gyros the one that tells someone to eat horse shi

[honest dune]

people also think he's hot

[limpid surge]

I saw the panel mate

[limpid surge]

I mean hey

[frosty geyser]

bro gyro is a 10/10 would bang

[sullen merlin]

Cant relate

But i guess im used to one piece bodies now so this aint shi compared to that

[frosty geyser]

i wish that shi was me

[honest dune]

here you can have johnny's first appearence

[frosty geyser]

araki artstyle is so goofy

[sullen merlin]

What the f is even that.

He looks like caillou

[limpid surge]

Disabled man 😔

[frosty geyser]

that and this came from the same mangaka

LOOK AT THIS
THIS IS SO PRETTY

[honest dune]

what happens when you're making a small drawing that's supposed to be seen from not so close

[limpid surge]

But where can i find a chef like Tonio Trussardi

[sullen merlin]

I find the jojos art style to be weird tbh

[limpid surge]

I like it

[frosty geyser]

its not weird its incostistent

[honest dune]

obligatory johnny and gyro pose post

[limpid surge]

It’s probably my favorite out of the 4 animes i watched

[sullen merlin]

Whats the deal with these botox lips bruv

[frosty geyser]

love this pose

[sullen merlin]

i guess the art style is the main reason ppl call it gae

[limpid surge]

The lipstick i think started on the sbr part

[frosty geyser]

dio had lipstick

[limpid surge]

Actually jotaros daughter

[sullen merlin]

Its not even the lipstick alone its just the shape etc

[limpid surge]

Oh yeah

[honest dune]

jojo art style changes a lot but I kinda like it
its charming in a way

[sullen merlin]

This kinda makes me not wanna watch it lol

it looks rather cursed

And i alreadt watched 3 episodes, it wasnt that bad

[honest dune]

jojo looking bizarre is just part of the experience

[limpid surge]

Part 3 my favorite style they all had massive shoulders

[frosty geyser]

im gonna say something contreversial
skip part 1

[limpid surge]

Don’t

[sullen merlin]

I feel like watching jojos is the same as watching anything else while being high

[frosty geyser]

its not worth your time trust me

[limpid surge]

Bro he watched one piece

[sullen merlin]

XD

[frosty geyser]

Im sorry for his condition, i didnt know.

[limpid surge]

Just don’t get attached to any character

[honest dune]

its funny

[limpid surge]

Cause like 90% of the time they die a very tragic death

[sullen merlin]

Ye in one piece there are a lot of things i thought damn this couldve gonna way faster. ( entire dressrosa arc)

[frosty geyser]

jotaro destroys deku if they fought btw

if they are at close range
jotaro can TS and bash dekus skull

ngl i want to see that
i hate deku

[sullen merlin]

For the ppl who watched OP, u have to tell, what u thought about dressrosa cuz i easily put it very low

[honest dune]

I think someone really doesnt like MHA

[limpid surge]

One piece has the worst pacing you could ever have in a show i almost dropped it at punk hazard i like the first 3 arcs cause they barely lasted 10 eps at most

[frosty geyser]

i wonder who

its not my fault that it sucks shgit

[limpid surge]

Dress rosa started off weak but then redeemed it self with doffy vs luffy

[sullen merlin]

Ye true, but tbh i didnt mind at water seven etc but dressrosa nd thriller bark god damn that was bad

[limpid surge]

Water 7 was one of the best arcs wdym

The mystery of robin legit made me so interested

[sullen merlin]

Ye but pacing in the beginning was also kinda meh but indeed it was an insane arc

[sullen merlin]

Thats enies lobbiies mostly tho

[limpid surge]

The beginning was better than now like we now have an average of almost 100 eps per arc

I cannot imagine how long it will take to animate the egg head island arc

[sullen merlin]

but dressrosa even the final fight wasnt that great if im being honest. It was fine but idk

[limpid surge]

I hate that series and all of its fans

[limpid surge]

I just liked doflamingo alot just like crocodile

[sullen merlin]

Gear 4 was cool but the fight itself couldve been, better

Ye doffy is one of the best written characters in game

[limpid surge]

Gear 4 redeemed it self against katakuri

[sullen merlin]

game wtf

[frosty geyser]

dont even mention the MHA fandom......

[sullen merlin]

i mean one piece

[limpid surge]

I hate them

[sullen merlin]

Katakuri also insane guy

Katakuri > big mom easily

[frosty geyser]

bro theres nothing to like abt them

[limpid surge]

I feel like katakuri and luffy will end up like roger and whitebeard one just wants to be free while the other is protecting his family

[frosty geyser]

big mom was so goofy

[limpid surge]

Low quality but you get the point

[frosty geyser]

most of the OP designs suck anyway

[sullen merlin]

BRO WTH thats ashura gone bad

[frosty geyser]

like im supposed to take this guy seriously?

he looks like a gay guy that goes to clubs 24/7

[limpid surge]

The actual kaido design looks cold

[sullen merlin]

Ye kaido looks really good, and i like his df

[frosty geyser]

gay isnt the insult here btw dont cancel me

[limpid surge]

Btw it’s not a dragon it’s some mythical fish

[sullen merlin]

Ye, its called the fish fish fruit, kinda weird ngl

ut df names are messed up ngl

like an actual dragon is fish fish but the dinos are called dragon dragon

[limpid surge]

It’s the name i guess

Luffy’s fruit is literally called human human

[sullen merlin]

so is choppers but for choppers fruit it makes sense

for luffys fruit they ran out of names

[limpid surge]

No it’s model nika the sun god

[sullen merlin]

Ye i know, but the power doesnt really like get along with the abilities if u know whaty i mean

i mean with the name

like he has rubber and imaginary abiliteis but its called human human

[limpid surge]

It’s the power of imagination but since the fake name of the fruit is gumo luffy the user is using his imagination as if he is using a rubber awakened paramecia fruit

Even tho it’s a zoan type

[sullen merlin]

I already thought it was zoan since he constantly changes his body structure anad form

[limpid surge]

He mentioned in dress rosa to momo that he “isn’t a zoan user”

Basically the world government changed the name of the fruit to rubber to hide its true identity

I kinda like the gear 5 transformation

It’s one of the first forms that the user doesn’t just gets mad and becomes faster stronger and more durable

[twin valley]

i wish dino games had a more interative environment like being able to knock trees down or summ or like breaking bushes n digging burrows (which erode over time n sh so u need to give in maintenance n whatnot) like that would make it feel not so unalive n the map more entertaining if ykwim

n like the trees would grow back n stuff so everytime a giant sauropod walks thru the forest its like trees cracking n they can like eat the trees n smaller herbis that eat tree leaves or summ can eat the leftovers from the sauropods so u get these big trails thru forests n sh where big dinos have just walked thru, kinda making like a custom highway or summ

wouldnt that be cool

sort of like a ever transforming map

First Animal species of the day (111) :
Common Hippo / (Hippopotamus amphibius)

The hippopotamus or hippo (/ˌhɪpəˈpɒtəməs/ HIP-ə-POT-ə-məs;[3] pl: hippos, hippopotamuses, or hippopotami; Hippopotamus amphibius), further qualified as the common hippopotamus, Nile hippopotamus, or river hippopotamus, is a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). Its name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος).

Range :

After elephants and rhinos, the hippopotamus is the next largest land mammal. It is also the largest extant land artiodactyl. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, the closest living relatives of the hippopotamids are cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.), from which they diverged about 55 million years ago. Hippos are recognisable for their barrel-shaped torsos, wide-opening mouths with large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies, pillar-like legs, and large size: adults average 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) for bulls (males) and 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) for cows (females). Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances.

Hippos inhabit rivers, lakes, and mangrove swamps. Territorial bulls each preside over a stretch of water and a group of five to thirty cows and calves. Mating and birth both occur in the water. During the day, hippos remain cool by staying in water or mud, emerging at dusk to graze on grasses. While hippos rest near each other in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos typically do not display territorial behaviour on land. Hippos are among the most dangerous animals in the world due to their aggressive and unpredictable nature. They are threatened by habitat loss and poaching for their meat and ivory (canine teeth).

The hippopotamus is a megaherbivore and is exceeded in size among land animals only by elephants and some rhinoceros species. The mean adult weight is around 1,480 kg (3,260 lb) for bulls and 1,365 kg (3,009 lb) for cows. Exceptionally large males have been recorded reaching 2,660 kg (5,860 lb).[28] Male hippos appear to continue growing throughout their lives, while females reach maximum weight at around age 25.[29] Hippos measure 2.90 to 5.05 m (9.5 to 16.6 ft) long,[30] including a tail of about 35 to 56 cm (1.15 to 1.84 ft) in length and 1.30 to 1.65 m (4.3 to 5.4 ft) tall at the shoulder,[31][32] with males and females ranging 1.40 to 1.65 m (4.6 to 5.4 ft) and 1.30 to 1.45 m (4.3 to 4.8 ft) tall at the shoulder respectively.[32] The species has a typical head-body length of 3.3–3.45 m (10.8–11.3 ft) and an average standing height of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) at the shoulder.

Hippos spend most the day in water to stay cool and hydrated. Just before night begins, they leave the water to forage on land.[34] Like most herbivores, hippos will consume a variety of plants if presented with them in captivity, but their diet in nature consists almost entirely of grass, with only minimal consumption of aquatic plants.[63] A hippo will travel 3–5 km (1.9–3.1 mi) per night, eating around 40 kg (88 lb) of grass. By dawn, they are back in the water.[34] On occasion, hippos have been filmed eating carrion, usually near the water. There are other reports of meat-eating and even cannibalism and predation.[64] Hippos' stomach anatomy lacks adaptions to carnivory and meat-eating is likely caused by lack of nutrients or just an abnormal behaviour.

First Animal species of the day (112) :
Snow Leopard / (Panthera uncia)

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), commonly known as the ounce, is a species of large cat in the genus Panthera of the family Felidae. The species is native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040. It is mainly threatened by poaching and habitat destruction following infrastructural developments. It inhabits alpine and subalpine zones at elevations of 3,000–4,500 m (9,800–14,800 ft), ranging from eastern Afghanistan, the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to southern Siberia, Mongolia and western China. In the northern part of its range, it also lives at lower elevations.

Range :

The snow leopard's fur is whitish to grey with black spots on the head and neck, with larger rosettes on the back, flanks and bushy tail. Its muzzle is short, its forehead domed, and its nasal cavities are large. The fur is thick with hairs measuring 5 to 12 cm (2.0 to 4.7 in) in length, and its underbelly is whitish. They are stocky, short-legged, and slightly smaller than other cats of the genus Panthera, reaching a shoulder height of 56 cm (22 in), and ranging in head to body size from 75 to 150 cm (30 to 59 in). Its tail is 80 to 105 cm (31 to 41 in) long.[25] Males average 45 to 55 kg (99 to 121 lb), and females 35 to 40 kg (77 to 88 lb).[26] Occasionally, large males reaching 75 kg (165 lb) have been recorded, and small females under 25 kg (55 lb).[27] Its canine teeth are 28.6 mm (1.13 in) long and are more slender than those of the other Panthera species.[28] In relation to the length of their skull and width of their palate, they have large nasal openings, which allow for increasing the volume of air inhaled with each breath, and at the same time for warming and humidifying cold dry air.[29] They are not especially adapted to high-altitude hypoxia.

The snow leopard shows several adaptations for living in a cold, mountainous environments. Its small rounded ears help to minimize heat loss. Their broad paws well distribute the body weight for walking on snow, and have fur on their undersides to enhance the grip on steep and unstable surfaces; they also help to minimize heat loss. Its long and flexible tail helps to balance the cat in the rocky terrain. The tail is very thick due to fat storage, and is covered in a thick layer of fur, which allows the cat to use it like a blanket to protect its face when asleep.

In summer, the snow leopard usually lives above the tree line on alpine meadows and in rocky regions at elevations of 2,700 to 6,000 m (8,900 to 19,700 ft). In winter, they descend to elevations around 1,200 to 2,000 m (3,900 to 6,600 ft). They prefer rocky, broken terrain, and can move in 85 cm (33 in) deep snow, but prefers to use existing trails made by other animals.[27]

Snow leopards were recorded by camera traps at 16 locations in northeastern Afghanistan's isolated Wakhan Corridor.

It is solitary and mostly active at dawn till early morning, and again in afternoons and early evenings. They mostly rest near cliffs and ridges that provide vantage points and shade. In Nepal's Shey Phoksundo National Park, the home ranges of five adult radio-collared snow leopards largely overlapped, though they rarely met. Their individual home ranges ranged from 12 to 39 km2 (4.6 to 15.1 sq mi). Males moved between 0.5 and 5.45 km (0.31 and 3.39 mi) per day, and females between 0.2 and 2.25 km (0.12 and 1.40 mi), measured in straight lines between survey points. Since they often zigzagged in the precipitous terrain, they actually moved up to 7 km (4.3 mi) in a single night.[39] Up to 10 individuals inhabit an area of 100 km2 (40 sq mi); in habitats with sparse prey, an area of 1,000 km2 (400 sq mi) usually supports only five individuals.
