No internet so I guess it's time to pull out this childhood gem to pass the time till its fixed

[full patrol]

Let's gooo

[wintry marlin]

The memories

[rigid sand]

emerald fr is unbeatable but i still prefer ruby since i got that game as a kid instead.

[full patrol]

Emerald isn't that hard. I beat it when I was like 7

[rigid sand]

i meant like unbeatable in quality comparativly

[wintry marlin]

I prefer sapphire cause I got it as a kid and it’s the most nostalgic one for me

[full patrol]

Ah ya emerald is 100% the best

[rigid sand]

thats my bad, i shoulda used more words lol

[full patrol]

I played fire red before emerald, but emerald is my favorite and most nostalgic

[wintry marlin]

Emerald is the best quality wise of course tho

[rigid sand]

i started with leaf green before ruby, still prefer ruby over that. love both tho

[wintry marlin]

Now we have whatever scarlet and violet was

[rigid sand]

i choose to ignore those

[wintry marlin]

They can be dumb fun but eh

[full patrol]

The story was fine the graphics and overall world design were below acceptable

[rigid sand]

when i think about pokemon i think about black 2 and white 2 instead. gotta cherish the good times

[wintry marlin]

I wish they went with a art style like octopath if anyone has played it

https://tenor.com/view/octopath-traveler-gaming-a-world-drawn-in-hd-gif-12187545

[rigid sand]

octopath style goes hard

[wintry marlin]

It does

[rigid sand]

i miss 2D pokemon

they used to have so much character

[wintry marlin]

I miss the sprites

The last 3d sprites I kinda really liked was in sun and moon, I liked the blue outlines

[rigid sand]

black 2 and white 2's sprite movement were insanly good. peak sprite designs.

[wintry marlin]

Yeah

[summer river]

[wintry marlin]

Hello

[strange marsh]

Ask away

[limber star]

@strange marsh i've only ever enjoyed floor hockey

[strange marsh]

its alright

I play basektball and I box

[limber star]

So... when it comes to Basketball, the distance from the hoop determines the like...

points you get. There's 3 point and 1 point i know of

[strange marsh]

1 points can happen

[limber star]

and like, dunking on someone... thats a thing?

extra points or is it just performative?

[strange marsh]

if you get hit in the act of shoting the ball you get to shoot foul shots, a normal basket is worth 2 but if you get fouled you get 2 free shots to earn it

[limber star]

idk what a foul is

[strange marsh]

only a 3 will give you extra points

[limpid sky]

dunking is a 2 pointer u dont get extra points

[limber star]

so shooting from farther away?

[strange marsh]

if someone makes contact with you to disrupt you're shot its a foul and you get free shots

[strange marsh]

Yeah its behind a certain line

[limber star]

man that sounds insane to govern

[limpid sky]

there is only 2 pointers which is inside the big arch and 3 pointers outside the arch and 1 pointers per free throw

[strange marsh]

it is

[limber star]

sports are so weird

[strange marsh]

both playing the game and watching it makes you wonder if the ref has eyes

[limpid sky]

wrd

[limber star]

I've never played sports outside of gym (the required class)

[strange marsh]

I've been hit so hard on some shots and never get a foul

[limber star]

aside from the one time I got tackled on accident
I don't think that counts lmao

[limpid sky]

i once got hit in the face and had a scar and the ref was just blind

[limber star]

I liked floor hockey

[limpid sky]

i get fouled alot since im a big man so im always in contact

[limber star]

sports seem like an interesting thing but it's so hard to understand. there's so many rules

[strange marsh]

if you want to watch basektball or start I would watch steph curry or kyrie iriving highlights they are both insane

[limber star]

i think i've seen a single basketball game irl and it was not intentional

[strange marsh]

That was like me at first

I didn't like it at all

[limber star]

I've seen a lot of hockey and it's pretty cool

mfs beating each other up

[strange marsh]

till one night I was watching the finals in 2016 and I a crazy game winner then it all started

[limber star]

i wish i could get into sports. doesnt seem like smth id be interested in

[strange marsh]

Hockey is fun but I never really got into it

[limber star]

yall seem really passionate about it

[strange marsh]

I mean if you don't get into playing them try watching it

gives you something to look forward to

basektball for me is just the best because its fast paced and full of action

[limber star]

either isn't my thing but it seems pretty interesting from an outsider perspective. people get insanely passionate about sports

[strange marsh]

yeah people go nuts

[limber star]

im trying to think of anything i like that's similar

[strange marsh]

being at a playoff game (do or die elimination game) has some insane energy

[limber star]

I don't think I could ever play a sport lol

if my team lost i'd blame myself and quit lol

who is in ur pfp

[strange marsh]

play house league, its just like casual not competative

[strange marsh]

Kobe Bryant

[limber star]

whats house league?

[strange marsh]

Its like a league for starters to just play and have fun

[limber star]

Ah.

[strange marsh]

I started with house league then got scouted to a competitive team

[limber star]

i remember hearing about him a few times, along with people at my school going "kobe" when they threw things away. He passed away, didnt he?

[strange marsh]

I get wacked all the time as a pg lol

[limber star]

Along with his daughter? or am I misremembering?

[strange marsh]

Yeah he died in a helicopter crash flying to his daughters game

[limber star]

ahh. screwed up stuff :(

[strange marsh]

people would say kobe because he would take stupidly difficult shots and make them

like he would just throw the ball up over 3 guys

[limber star]

yee i get that

[limber star]

thats crazy!!! actually

making shots like that is insane skill

[limpid sky]

https://tenor.com/view/kobe-bryant-genius-los-angeles-nba-basketball-gif-16154416

[strange marsh]

Yeah its nuts bruh

the guy was insane in his prime

[limber star]

man thats screwed up

[strange marsh]

he was most famous for his mentality

[limpid sky]

https://tenor.com/view/kobe-bryant-nba-national-basketball-association-dunk-basketball-gif-16943720

and he had hops

[strange marsh]

that also

[limber star]

yeah i cant jump that high lol

that's really impressive

[strange marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/kobe-bryant-three-pointer-clutch-basketball-sike-gif-16094285

[limber star]

THE AIM!!!!!!

[strange marsh]

the guy is all over him

and thats for 3 also

[limber star]

that's crazy

[strange marsh]

yeah

[limber star]

basketball seems cooler than football atm

[strange marsh]

I have always liked it more and I have played both a lot

[limber star]

I'm not a big fan of football bc of all the brain damage football causes

[limpid sky]

i love football

[strange marsh]

I use to play running back in football

[limpid sky]

i grew up on football and basketball my whole life

[strange marsh]

I grew up on basketball and MMA

[limber star]

I think it's okay for adults, maybe, but like, not teenagers. it's not good for your brain to get knocked around

[strange marsh]

it can get really bad

I never had a major injury though

[limber star]

It's recorded that brain damage is an effect of doing football. I don't think it should happen imo

[strange marsh]

I did destory my knee playing basektball though

[limpid sky]

tbh football for sure isn't the safest but u have to really play reckless to get a bad head injury most of the time

[limber star]

I just don't think people should be doing things that increase their risk for brain damage a lot

[limpid sky]

https://tenor.com/view/block-gif-18500748 like that hit is illegal

[strange marsh]

I would get rocked palying running back so much lol

[limber star]

I get the excitement of a sport like football, but it's dangerous.

And I don't think it's worth it, even for millions of dollars.

[strange marsh]

really depends on the position you play

[limpid sky]

so to seriously get hurt u most likely were doing something that was illegal. like blindside hits or helment to helment

[strange marsh]

Like I would play a position almost every time you touch the ball you're getting hit

[limber star]

I think adults should be free to play football, but not teenagers

[strange marsh]

the goal was the run through as many guys as possible before getting tackled

[limpid sky]

yea but u cant make it to the nfl without playin in school

[strange marsh]

yeah no chance

[limber star]

I think it's a violent sport tbh

[limpid sky]

ye running backs in the league dont last long

[strange marsh]

I stoped because of all the hits

[limber star]

The risk of injury is too high imo, but I'm not sure.

[limpid sky]

same for mma and boxing

[limber star]

I need to look into it more.

[limpid sky]

so u pick ya poison

[limber star]

I agree 100%. Beating the crap out of someone is... not a good sport.
Similar to bullfighting imo

[strange marsh]

Boxing and mma are brutal lol ( I do it every week 5 times a week)

[limpid sky]

also i done seen some gruesome nba injuries

[limber star]

The risk of injury is really high and I just can't get down with that

[limpid sky]

like some dude leg breaking after a bad landing and stuff

[limber star]

I can't support people hurting themselves or other people for money

[limpid sky]

feel that

[strange marsh]

I saw that

I saw one dude in a ncaa game with his bone poking out

[limber star]

Especially if they are doing it on purpose

just feels like bullfighting then

[limpid sky]

wont lie i aint ever seen someone seriously injured playin soccer or futbol

[strange marsh]

Its hard to expalin if you do it and like it

like I do boxing every week just fighting other people

[blazing wagon]

Except both parties want to fight, the bill is not there willingly. Not really the same thing at all

[limpid sky]

ye i seen that and his tm8s on the bench started running

[limber star]

that's a good point. I guess I just mean even if two people are there willingly, you shouldn't want to watch them beat the stuffing out of each other for money. That sounds dystopian

[strange marsh]

it was so nasty man

[limpid sky]

ye i remember seeing that and sent shives down my spine, it made my knee feel weird lmao

[strange marsh]

very good point, Like when I fight the other person is there knowing they want to fight me for a medal of some kind

we both chose and train for months to be there

[limpid sky]

also that dak prescott injury was bad, if u saw it

[strange marsh]

saw that one also

[limber star]

yeah but watching two people fight for money... is... kind of dystopian.

[strange marsh]

I love it

[limpid sky]

i enjoy it ngl

[limber star]

The long-term effects make me nervous

Like imagine you get that career but due to the injuries you suffered doing that, you don't even get to enjoy retirement cause u got memory loss

[limpid sky]

but thats cause both parties agreed, i wouldn't stand around and watch a fight where someone was getting bullied

[strange marsh]

and after you have experienced it being 1 on 1 with another man knowing he has one goal which is to hurt me is a wild adrenalin rush you really cant beat

and watching pros do it your just sitting there in awe

[limber star]

Nah that would just make me cry ngl
I'd rather not fight someone

[limpid sky]

like ali. sad cause he was arguably the greatest but had injuries to the brain

https://tenor.com/view/the-goat-muhammad-ali-boxing-champ-ko-gif-16414993

[limber star]

Yeah... I don't think people should profit off of giving people brain injuries. Even if both parties consent

[strange marsh]

that was me my first ever fight when I was like 10 years old

[limber star]

There's far less violent sports

[strange marsh]

you get used to it after a while

[limpid sky]

but we not taking advantage when the fighters choose to fight

[limber star]

tbh i don't think it matters? I don't think anyone should profit off of giving someone brain damage

[strange marsh]

while you can make that point

the other guy profits from getting brain damage

[limpid sky]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-tyson-uppercut-knock-out-gif-20404079 now he was givn people brain damage

[limber star]

There's less violent sports which are cooler

oh well.

[strange marsh]

To some yeah but both fighters are getting paid

regardless of who wins they walk away with millions

[limber star]

I don't know enough. I just don't think violence should be profitable

There's cooler sports

[strange marsh]

I can see where you're coming from

I have always done both but I switched to boxing after I had a bad knee injury playing basketball

[limber star]

I understand that both parties consent and they make loads of money, but it's normalizing violence imo

and there's way cooler things to do

[strange marsh]

I see where you're coming from

[limber star]

that's good

[strange marsh]

Like I have had moments in the sport after a fight where I have hurt someone and it kinda gets to you after the rush of winning

[limber star]

I don't get that, no.

I don't think I've ever hurt someone on purpose

or in a violent way. I don't get it.

When I get that angry I wanna kick the wall, not anyone

[strange marsh]

I’ve been in situations where it’s been organized or unorganized

[limber star]

I'm not sure what you mean

[strange marsh]

Like after a fight there is muted respect between me and my opponent

We always shake hands and walk off

[limber star]

ah, I've never been in a fight. Closest I've ever been is someone... much bigger than me telling me they'd kick my teeth in

[strange marsh]

But in a street fight that doesn’t happen

[limber star]

never happened, but I was so scared lol

[strange marsh]

In a fight with someone you genuinely don’t like is when you don’t feel bsd

Bad**

[limber star]

I think I'd still have felt bad fighting anyone who hated me in HS

except for maybe one kid cause he deserved to have his teeth kicked in

[strange marsh]

I finished not to long ago and I got into a brawl with this one guy

Disrespecting me behind my back to people he didn’t know were my friends

Unfortunately for him he had no idea I’m an amateur fighter

[limber star]

Yeah imo the only people I've met who needed to be beat up were like super bigoted

[strange marsh]

Yeah there just people like that in the world sadly

[limber star]

you can talk crap, but when u go the length of doing super messed up stuff you kinda deserve to get obliterated so you're terrified of expressing your ideas again

[strange marsh]

People will talk but when it comes down to face to face it’s a completely different story a lot of the time

[limber star]

They shouldn't feel safe to express them to begin with. Make them afraid again

it's insane how comfortable they've gotten protesting in public also maybe move this to fms

[strange marsh]

Some people just take stuff way to far and that’s normally when someone gets hurt

[limber star]

First Animal species of the day (186) :
Nine-banded armadillo / (Dasypus novemcinctus)

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), also known as the nine-banded long-nosed armadillo or common long-nosed armadillo, is a mammal found in North, Central, and South America, making it the most widespread of the armadillos.[2] Its ancestors originated in South America, and remained there until the formation of the Isthmus of Panama allowed them to enter North America as part of the Great American Interchange. The nine-banded armadillo is a solitary, mainly nocturnal[3][4] animal, found in many kinds of habitats, from mature and secondary rainforests to grassland and dry scrub. It is an insectivore, feeding chiefly on ants, termites, and other small invertebrates. The armadillo can jump 91–120 cm (3–4 ft) straight in the air if sufficiently frightened, making it a particular danger on roads.[5] It is the state small mammal of Texas.
Range :

Nine-banded armadillos generally weigh from 2.5–6.5 kg (5.5–14.3 lb), though the largest specimens can scale up to 10 kg (22 lb). They are one of the largest species of armadillos.[7] Head and body length is 38–58 cm (15–23 in), which combines with the 26–53 cm (10–21 in) tail, for a total length of 64–107 cm (25–42 in). They stand 15–25 cm (5.9–9.8 in) tall at the top of the shell.[7][8] The outer shell is composed of ossified dermal scutes covered by nonoverlapping, keratinized epidermal scales, which are connected by flexible bands of skin. This armor covers the back, sides, head, tail, and outside surfaces of the legs. The underside of the body and the inner surfaces of the legs have no armored protection. Instead, they are covered by tough skin and a layer of coarse hair. The vertebrae attach to the carapace.[6] The claws on the middle toes of the forefeet are elongated for digging, though not to the same degree as those of the much larger giant armadillo of South America.

The nine-banded armadillo evolved in a warm, rainy environment, and is still most commonly found in regions resembling its ancestral home. As a very adaptable animal, though, it can also be found in scrublands, open prairies, and tropical rainforests. It cannot thrive in particularly cold or dry environments, as its large surface area, which is not well insulated by fat, makes it especially susceptible to heat and water loss.[9] Recently, nine-banded armadillo have been found as far north as Virginia, with several studies suggesting this could get more common as temperatures rise

Nine-banded armadillos are generally insectivores. They forage for meals by thrusting their snouts into loose soil and leaf litter and frantically digging in erratic patterns, stopping occasionally to dig up grubs, beetles (perhaps the main portion of this species' prey selection), ants, termites, grasshoppers, other insects, millipedes, centipedes, arachnids, worms, and other terrestrial invertebrates, which their sensitive noses can detect through 8 in (20 cm) of soil.[17][18] They then lap up the insects with their sticky tongues. Nine-banded armadillos have been observed to roll about on ant hills to dislodge and consume the resident ants. They supplement their diets with amphibians and small reptiles, especially in more wintery months when such prey tends to be more sluggish, and occasionally bird eggs and baby mammals. Carrion is also eaten, although perhaps the species is most attracted to the maggots borne by carcasses rather than the meat itself. Less than 10% of the diet of this species is composed by nonanimal matter, though fungi, tubers, fruits, and seeds are occasionally eaten.

Mating takes place during a two-to-three month long mating season, which occurs from July–August in the Northern Hemisphere and November–January in the Southern Hemisphere. A single egg is fertilized, but implantation is delayed for three to four months to ensure the young will not be born during an unfavorable time. Once the zygote does implant in the uterus, a gestation period of four months occurs, during which the zygote splits into four identical embryos, attached by a common placenta.[24] They are born in March and weigh 85 g (3 oz).[25] After birth, the quadruplets remain in the burrow, living off the mother's milk for about three months. They then begin to forage with the mother, eventually leaving after six months to a year.

The foraging of nine-banded armadillo can cause mild damage to the root systems of certain plants. Skunks, cotton rats, burrowing owls, pine snakes, and rattlesnakes can be found living in abandoned armadillo burrows.[9] Occasionally, the armadillo may threaten the endangered gopher tortoise by aggressively displacing them from their burrows and claiming the burrows for themselves.[19] Studies have shown the fan-tailed warbler habitually follows armadillos to feed on insects and other invertebrates displaced by them

[native talon]

Definitive tierlists

[wintry marlin]

I have a soft spot for toy Bonnie, so seeing you ruin his life like that brought a tear to my eye

Also

[digital sleet]

poor man’s poison

absolutely bassed

[wintry marlin]

Chimp

[wintry marlin]

Also again sniffer is a cool guy

[native talon]

Tbh the rascal and tuff golem could have been better imo, tuff could have added a bit more life to bases and rascal might have been fun to chase around a cave

[wintry marlin]

I like sniffer

[native talon]

I do to, but it's mainly a pet and decorative item getter yknow

And compared to what could have been, it's not that good

Again, imo

[wintry marlin]

Minecraft mob votes are bad and they are getting worse

[native talon]

Yeah

[wintry marlin]

We want all 3

[cedar crescent]

Your tier lists make me angry

[wintry marlin]

Which one

Makes you the most angry

[cedar crescent]

I think the fast food tier list

And the Minecraft one

[wintry marlin]

I just realized Monty is at S tier

[cedar crescent]

Actually massive W

[native talon]

That one is mainly because my friend has had more fast food than myself, so it's mainly his for many of them

[wintry marlin]

The tier list is design wise for Fnaf right, or character and design

[cedar crescent]

Your friend needs to reorganize their taste buds

Personally I think Culver's and Arby's should go up but idk

And Subway

Subway's elite chicken and bacon ranch goes ridiculously hard

[wintry marlin]

Oh subway

[native talon]

Design, mechanic, personality, and a bit of lore

[wintry marlin]

Have you played ruin?

[cedar crescent]

HOW is DQ above Culver's HOW
Anyways

What do you guys order from chick fil a that makes it so good

[native talon]

No, that's why the "withered" versions aren't there

[wintry marlin]

I don’t have chick fil in Norway sorry

[native talon]

Idk he just likes it

[wintry marlin]

I can now see why Roxy is so low then

[cedar crescent]

What the hell

[wintry marlin]

Yea sorry

[cedar crescent]

Withered Monty is S tier

[native talon]

I mean yeah, not all fast foods are glob, yknow

[native talon]

Monty in general is S

[wintry marlin]

Roxy is way better in ruin (cause she has a personality besides thinking she is better)

[cedar crescent]

Oh Steak n Shake isn't on there

[cedar crescent]

Making me cry

[native talon]

It was in "never had" for us

[cedar crescent]

Ohhhhh

Yeah the "never had" was really big actually

I forgor as well

[wintry marlin]

Food

[cedar crescent]

Now I'm hungry for a burber

[wintry marlin]

Also McDonald is different from country to country

But yeah

[native talon]

Wdym?

[wintry marlin]

It has different foods and different meats

[cedar crescent]

McDonalds will always be F tier for me

[wintry marlin]

It’s ok ish here

Burger King tho…

It’s not so good to say the least, only burger I like there is bacon king

[cedar crescent]

I haven't had burgers from BK because those burgers just aren't the same...like I've had one from DQ and it was so underwhelming compared to Culver's

[north yacht]

[cedar crescent]

It was the worst feeling ever

[wintry marlin]

Spaghetti

[native talon]

Any bacon burger is probably the best burger that a place has on their menu ngl

[cedar crescent]

Bacon >>>>

[wintry marlin]

Can agree there

[native talon]

Fr fr ong

[wintry marlin]

Bacon burgers are so good

[cedar crescent]

I despise onions

[native talon]

Gotta make a breakfast food tierlist now

[native talon]

Yeah, pickles too tbh

[wintry marlin]

I like McDonald’s chicken salsa

[cedar crescent]

???

[native talon]

Huh?

[wintry marlin]

Ah, America doesn’t have that huh

[native talon]

The what

[cedar crescent]

I've never heard of chicken salsa from McD

[native talon]

Yeah no, not yet at least

[cedar crescent]

Have you guys tried the BK chicken wraps?

[native talon]

No, the chicken fries tho

[cedar crescent]

Chicken fries >>>>

[wintry marlin]

It’s a chicken burger with salsa dressing nacho chips and salad, there is sometimes more on them but yeah

[native talon]

Bacon > chicken fries

[cedar crescent]

That sounds interesting but tasty

[native talon]

They know their place

[native talon]

Yummers

[cedar crescent]

Chicken fries are good but they don't warrant a trip to BK when I could just get a bacon cheeseburber at Culver's

[native talon]

True true

[wintry marlin]

Here is chicken salsa

[cedar crescent]

Why doesn't America have this

[wintry marlin]

Idk

Norway has it, I think Japan has it too

[native talon]

Americans would eat it up, missed opportunity

[cedar crescent]

I'm anger

[frozen flare]

I just wanna say mcdonalds chicken nuggets with garlic sauce is

[cedar crescent]

Can you mail me one

[frozen flare]

At least here

[cedar crescent]

Chicken nuggs with sweet and sour are the only thing I'd eat from McDonalds

[wintry marlin]

If I can get it over the boarder maybe

[cedar crescent]

Impossible

[frozen flare]

oh god I cant take sweet and sour lol

[cedar crescent]

Sweet and sour sauce WOOOOOOOO

[wintry marlin]

Yeah, if I ever go to America again I can try to take some with me

[native talon]

[cedar crescent]

I've never had one before

[sullen merlin]

Eat one

First Animal species of the day (islecord) :
Wood frog

Lithobates sylvaticus[1][2] or Rana sylvatica,[3] commonly known as the wood frog, is a frog species that has a broad distribution over North America, extending from the boreal forest of the north to the southern Appalachians, with several notable disjunct populations including lowland eastern North Carolina. The wood frog has garnered attention from biologists because of its freeze tolerance, relatively great degree of terrestrialism (for a ranid), interesting habitat associations (peat bogs, vernal pools, uplands), and relatively long-range movements.

Range :

The ecology and conservation of the wood frog has attracted research attention in recent years because they are often considered "obligate" breeders in ephemeral wetlands (sometimes called "vernal pools"), which are themselves more imperiled than the species that breed in them. The wood frog has been proposed to be the official state amphibian of New York.

@full patrol this species of frog can survive being frozen is it ok to post frozen one ?

Good

Wood frogs range from 51 to 70 mm (2.0 to 2.8 in) in length. Females are larger than males.[5][6] Adult wood frogs are usually brown, tan, or rust-colored, and usually have a dark eye mask.[7] Individual frogs are capable of varying their color; Conant (1958) depicts one individual which was light brown and dark brown at different times. The underparts of wood frogs are pale with a yellow or green cast;[8] in northern populations, the belly may be faintly mottled. Their body colour may change seasonally; exposure to sunlight causes darkening.

Wood frogs are forest-dwelling organisms that breed primarily in ephemeral, freshwater wetlands: woodland vernal pools. Long-distance migration plays an important role in their life history. Individual wood frogs range widely (hundreds of metres) among their breeding pools and neighboring freshwater swamps, cool-moist ravines, and/or upland habitats. Genetic neighborhoods of individual pool breeding populations extend more than a kilometre away from the breeding site. Thus, conservation of this species requires a landscape (multiple habitats at appropriate spatial scales) perspective. They also can be camouflaged with their surroundings.

A study was done on wood frogs dispersal patterns in 5 ponds at the Appalachian Mountains where they reported adult wood frogs were 100% faithful to the pond of their first breeding but 18% of juveniles dispersed to breed in other ponds

Wood frogs eat a variety of small, forest-floor invertebrates. Omnivorous, the tadpoles feed on plant detritus and algae, and also attack and eat eggs and larvae of amphibians, including those of wood frogs.[12]

The feeding pattern of the wood frog is similar to that of other ranids. It is triggered by prey movement and consists of a bodily lunge that terminates with the mouth opening and an extension of the tongue onto the prey.[13] The ranid tongue is attached to the floor of the mouth near the tip of the jaw, and when the mouth is closed, the tongue lies flat, extended posteriorly from its point of attachment.

Cold tolerance ❄️❄️🥶❄️❄️

Similar to other northern frogs that enter dormancy close to the surface in soil and/or leaf litter, wood frogs can tolerate the freezing of their blood and other tissues.[15][16] Urea is accumulated in tissues in preparation for overwintering,[citation needed] and liver glycogen is converted in large quantities to glucose in response to internal ice formation. Both urea and glucose act as cryoprotectants to limit the amount of ice that forms and to reduce osmotic shrinkage of cells.[17][18] Frogs found in southern Canada and the American midwest can tolerate freezing temperatures of −3 to −6 °C (27 to 21 °F). The wood frogs have evolved various physiological adaptations that allow them to tolerate the freezing of 65–70% of their total body water. When water freezes, ice crystals form in cells and break up the structure, so that when the ice thaws the cells are damaged. Frozen frogs also need to endure the interruption of oxygen delivery to their tissues as well as strong dehydration and shrinkage of their cells when water is drawn out of cells to freeze. The wood frog has evolved traits that prevent their cells from being damaged when frozen and thawed out. The wood frog has developed various adaptations that allow it to effectively combat prolonged ischemia/anoxia and extreme cellular dehydration. One crucial mechanism utilized by the wood frog is the accumulation of high amounts of glucose that act as a cryoprotectant.

Frozen ❄️

This a super ability to make them survive being frozen

In winter

First Animal species of the day (islecord) :
Red panda

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also known as the lesser panda, is a small mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has dense reddish-brown fur with a black belly and legs, white-lined ears, a mostly white muzzle and a ringed tail. Its head-to-body length is 51–63.5 cm (20.1–25.0 in) with a 28–48.5 cm (11.0–19.1 in) tail, and it weighs between 3.2 and 15 kg (7.1 and 33.1 lb). It is well adapted to climbing due to its flexible joints and curved semi-retractile claws.

Range :

The red panda inhabits coniferous forests as well as temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, favouring steep slopes with dense bamboo cover close to water sources. It is solitary and largely arboreal. It feeds mainly on bamboo shoots and leaves, but also on fruits and blossoms. Red pandas mate in early spring, with the females giving birth to litters of up to four cubs in summer. It is threatened by poaching as well as destruction and fragmentation of habitat due to deforestation. The species has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2015. It is protected in all range countries.

The red panda's coat is mainly red or orange-brown with a black belly and legs. The muzzle, cheeks, brows and inner ear margins are mostly white while the bushy tail has red and buff ring patterns and a dark brown tip.[28][29][30] The colouration appears to serve as camouflage in habitat with red moss and white lichen-covered trees. The guard hairs are longer and rougher while the dense undercoat is fluffier with shorter hairs.[29] The guard hairs on the back have a circular cross-section and are 47–56 mm (1.9–2.2 in) long. It has moderately long whiskers around the mouth, lower jaw and chin. The hair on the soles of the paws allows the animal to walk in snow.

The red panda has a relatively small head, though proportionally larger than in similarly sized raccoons, with a reduced snout and triangular ears, and nearly evenly lengthed limbs.[28][29] It has a head-body length of 51–63.5 cm (20.1–25.0 in) with a 28–48.5 cm (11.0–19.1 in) tail. The Himalayan red panda is recorded to weigh 3.2–9.4 kg (7.1–20.7 lb), while the Chinese red panda weighs 4–15 kg (8.8–33.1 lb) for females and 4.2–13.4 kg (9.3–29.5 lb) for males.[28] It has five curved digits on each foot, each with curved semi-retractile claws that aid in climbing.[29] The pelvis and hindlimbs have flexible joints, adaptations for an arboreal quadrupedal lifestyle.[31] While not prehensile, the tail helps the animal balance while climbing.

The red panda inhabits Nepal, the states of Sikkim, West Bengal and Arunachal Pradesh in India, Bhutan, southern Tibet, northern Myanmar and China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.[1] The global potential habitat of the red panda has been estimated to comprise 47,100 km2 (18,200 sq mi) at most; this habitat is located in the temperate climate zone of the Himalayas with a mean annual temperature range of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F).[33] Throughout this range, it has been recorded at elevations of 2,000–4,300 m (6,600–14,100 ft).

The red panda is difficult to observe in the wild,[56] and most studies on its behaviour have taken place in captivity.[57] The red panda appears to be both nocturnal and crepuscular, sleeping in between periods of activity at night. It typically rests or sleeps in trees or other elevated spaces, stretched out prone on a branch with legs dangling when it is hot, and curled up with its hindlimb over the face when it is cold. It is adapted for climbing and descends to the ground head-first with the hindfeet holding on to the middle of the tree trunk. It moves quickly on the ground by trotting or bounding.

Adult pandas are generally solitary and territorial. Individuals mark their home range or territorial boundaries with urine, faeces and secretions from the anal and surrounding glands. Scent-marking is usually done on the ground, with males marking more often and for longer periods.[29] In China's Wolong National Nature Reserve, the home range of a radio-collared female was 0.94 km2 (0.36 sq mi), while that of a male was 1.11 km2 (0.43 sq mi).[58] A one-year-long monitoring study of ten red pandas in eastern Nepal showed that the four males had median home ranges of 1.73 km2 (0.67 sq mi) and the six females of 0.94 km2 (0.36 sq mi) within a forest cover of at least 19.2 ha (47 acres).

Red pandas are "long-day" breeders, reproducing after the winter solstice as daylight grows longer. Mating thus takes place from January to March, with births occurring from May to August. Reproduction is delayed by six months for captive pandas in the southern hemisphere. Oestrous lasts a day, and females can enter oestrous multiple times a season, but it is not known how long the intervals between each cycle last

First Animal species of the day (islecord) :
Vaquita

The vaquita (/vəˈkiːtə/ və-KEE-tə; Phocoena sinus) is a species of porpoise endemic to the northern end of the Gulf of California in Baja California, Mexico. Reaching a maximum body length of 150 cm (4.9 ft) (females) or 140 cm (4.6 ft) (males), it is the smallest of all living cetaceans.

Range :

Size :

The species is currently on the brink of extinction, and currently listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List; the steep decline in abundance is primarily due to bycatch in gillnets from the illegal totoaba fishery.

The smallest living species of cetacean, the vaquita can be easily distinguished from any other species in its range. It has a small body with an unusually tall, triangular dorsal fin, a rounded head, and no distinguished beak. The coloration is mostly grey with a darker back and a white ventral field. Prominent black patches surround its lips and eyes.[11] Sexual dimorphism is apparent in body size, with mature females being longer than males and having larger heads and wider flippers.

Females reach a maximum size of about 150 cm (4.9 ft), while males reach about 140 cm (4.6 ft).[13] Dorsal fin height is greater in males than in females.[8][failed verification][12] They are also known to weigh around 27 kg (60 lb) to 68 kg (150 lb). This makes them one of the smallest species in the porpoise family

Rescue 🛟

Vaquita habitat is restricted to a small portion of the upper Gulf of California (also called the Sea of Cortez), making this the smallest range of any marine mammal species. They live in shallow, turbid waters of less than 150 m (490 ft) depth

Vaquitas are generalists, foraging on a variety of demersal fish species, crustaceans, and squids, though benthic fish such as grunts and croakers make up most of the diet.

Population : 10
Imagine your whole species IS ONLY 10 INDIVIDUALS

First Animal species of the day (islecord) :
Kauaʻi ʻōʻō Bird

💀extinct💀

The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō (/kɑːˈwɑː.iː ˈoʊ.oʊ/) or ʻōʻōʻāʻā (Moho braccatus) was the last member of the ʻōʻō (Moho) genus within the Mohoidae family of birds from the islands of Hawaiʻi. The entire family is now extinct. It was previously regarded as a member of the Australo-Pacific honeyeaters (family Meliphagidae).

Range

The bird was endemic to the island of Kauaʻi. It was common in the subtropical forests of the island until the early twentieth century, when its decline began. It was last seen in 1985, and last heard in 1987. The causes of its extinction include the introduction of predators (such as the Polynesian rat, small Indian mongoose, and the domestic pig), mosquito-borne diseases, and habitat destruction.[8]

It was the last surviving member of the Mohoidae, which had originated over 15-20 million years previously during the Miocene, with the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō's extinction marking the only extinction of an entire avian family in modern times ("modern" meaning post-1500 AD).

This bird was among the smallest of the Hawaiian ʻōʻōs, if not the smallest species, at just over 20 centimetres (8 in) in length.[9] The head, wings, and tail were black. The rest of the upperparts were slaty brown, becoming rufous on the rump and flanks. The throat and breast was black with white barring, which was particularly prominent in females. The central tail feathers were long, and there was a small tuft of gray feathers under the base of the wing.

While the beak and legs were black, the leg feathers were a rich golden yellow. It was the only ʻōʻō known to have eyes with yellow irises. Like other honeyeaters it had a sharp, slightly curved bill for sampling nectar. Its favored nectar sources were Lobelia species and the ʻohiʻa lehua tree. This species was additionally observed foraging in lapalapa trees. It also ate small invertebrates and fruit. The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō was very vocal, making hollow, erratic, flute-like calls. Both the males and females were known to sing.

The bird was a cavity nester in the thickly forested canyons of Kauaʻi. All of its relatives have also become extinct, such as the Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō, Bishop's ʻōʻō, and Oʻahu ʻōʻō. Relatively little is known about these extinct birds. The species became extinct from a large range of problems, including mosquito-transmitted diseases (which caused the species to retreat to higher ground, ultimately retreating to high-altitude montane forests in the Alakaʻi Wilderness Preserve), introduction of mammalian predators, and deforestation.[10] Higher elevation forests lack tree cavities, so few, if any, nests could be made. As of the early 1960s, the bird had an estimated population of about 34 living individuals. In the 1970s, the only known footage of the bird was filmed by John L. Sincock on Super 8 film and several song recordings were made as well (with Harold Douglas Pratt, Jr. being one of the people involved in recording the songs).[11] In 1981, a pair was found.

WELL THESES 2 PAIRS ……

…..

Its gonna be a sad story

The final blows were two hurricanes, Iwa and Iniki, coming within ten years of each other. They destroyed many of the old trees with cavities, and prohibited tree growth when the second one arrived, causing the species to disappear. As a result, the last female bird disappeared (likely killed by Hurricane Iwa). The male bird was last sighted in 1985, and the last sound recording was made in 1987 by David Boynton.[12][13] After failed expeditions in 1989 and Hurricane Iniki in 1992, the species was declared extinct by the IUCN in 2000. It is still believed by some that the species may survive undetected, as the species had already been proclaimed extinct twice: once in the 1940s (later rediscovered in 1960) and again from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, being rediscovered by the wildlife biologist John Sincock.[14] However, it has a loud and distinctive call, and intensive surveys that occurred from 1989 to 2000 failed to find any.

Imagine your your female died in a storm

And you are the last male of your species

And trying to desperately call for anyone
Not realizing you are the last one of your species

[astral onyx]

Anyone here with computer knowledge, would this be a good computer for $650 USD?

[hazy gate]

That's a decent price for all that, but just remember that laptops will always be weaker to a desktop with same specs as laptop parts are downsized for compactness

The cpu is a gen 11 which aint bad

rtx 3050 should run the isle paired with that rather well

[astral onyx]

True, but my current PC is a laptop so as long as it's decently better than my current one, I'm fine

[hazy gate]

True

[astral onyx]

There was another one I got pic of that was around $1200, with better specs. Lemme get the image quick

[hazy gate]

This would be worth it as well, double the price but would be worth it for a long lasting laptop for years of gaming to come, that would run probably anything really without problem at 1080p

[astral onyx]

Hmmm good to know

[hazy gate]

prob could watch a 4k movie and run a 4k game lol

[astral onyx]

That's probably the one I'm gonna go for then. Thanks!

[hazy gate]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-Ti-vs-Nvidia-RTX-4060-Laptop/4149vsm2040979 this is what i refer to when it comes to laptop parts and desktop parts, very different, when you buy a laptop most of the money goes into making those powerful parts compact, so around half power but very small

[astral onyx]

Oh interesting. Yeah I was looking at desktops but the one I had in mind was a bit more expensive than the 4060 laptop I showed you and it only had a 3060

Plus with laptops I don't gotta worry about buying monitors and stuff

[hazy gate]

Yeah that makes sense, its only really because techincally a desktop 3060 is better then a laptop 4060 https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-Laptop-vs-Nvidia-RTX-3060-Ti/m2040979vs4090

and yeah true peripherals increase price a bit

[astral onyx]

Very interesting

Didn't realize there was that much of a difference

[hazy gate]

Its why I never got a gaming laptop but they are tempting and convenient

and way better nowadays then use to be

[astral onyx]

Yeah the ones I sent you were from Walmart So if they're still in stock when I have the money I think I'll get one of them lol

[hazy gate]

Sweeeeet, dont forget to try and find better deals for same stuff other places

[astral onyx]

Oh yeah good idea

Walmart laptop gaming?

[astral onyx]

You know it

To be fair tho I didn't go there looking for a laptop, i just decided to look while I was there lol

[flint wren]

I work at a Walmart and recognize the graphic design on the label

[astral onyx]

I had a feeling someone would

I even looked at the label before I took to the pic to see if it said Walmart anywhere lol

[modest isle]

Which species of shrike ?

Great grey shrike ?

[modest isle]

I will take that as yes

[modest isle]

First Animal species of the day (islecord) :
Loggerhead shrike

The loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) is a passerine bird in the family Laniidae. It is the only member of the shrike family endemic to North America; the related northern shrike (L. borealis) occurs north of its range, however it is also found in Siberia. It is nicknamed the butcherbird after its carnivorous tendencies, as it consumes prey such as insects, amphibians, lizards, small mammals and small birds, and some prey end up displayed and stored at a site, for example in a tree.[3] Due to its small size and weak talons, this predatory bird relies on impaling its prey upon thorns or barbed wire for facilitated consumption.[4] The numbers of loggerhead shrike have significantly decreased in recent years, especially in Midwestern, New England and Mid-Atlantic areas.

Range :

The loggerhead shrike is a medium-sized passerine.[15] "Loggerhead" refers to the relatively large size of the head as compared to the rest of the body. The wing and tail length are about 3.82 in (9.70 cm) and 3.87 in (9.83 cm) long, respectively.[15] It weighs on average 1.8 oz (50 g), with a range of 1.6–2.1 oz (45–60 g) for a healthy adult shrike

Measurement ranges[17]
Length: 7.9–9.1 in (20–23 cm)
Weight: 1.2–1.8 oz (34–51 g)
Wingspan: 11.0–12.6 in (27.9–32.0 cm)
The adult plumage of the loggerhead shrike is grey above with a white to pale grey breast and black tarsi and feet. The bird possesses a black mask that extends across the eyes to its bill. The wings are black with a distinct white patch on the primaries. The tail is black edged with white and the irises are brown.[13] The beak is short, black, and hooked, and contains a tomial tooth to help tear into prey.[12] It is difficult to sex an adult loggerhead shrike in the field as they are sexually monochromatic.[18] However, several studies have reported sexual dimorphism in plumage and size traits.[12][18][19] Juveniles possess a paler gray plumage that is subtly vermiculated.

Loggerhead shrikes were once widely distributed across southern Canada, the contiguous USA and Mexico.[12] However, their populations have heavily declined since the 1960s.[19] Four subspecies reside in southern coastal California: mearnsi, gambeli, grinnelli and anthonyi.[24] L. l. mearnsi is only found on San Clemente Island in California, whereas L. l. gambeli breeds on the mainland and L. l. anthonyi breeds on the Channel Islands.[14] L. l. excubitorides is found in central North America, whereas the non-migrating L. l. ludovicianus resides in southeastern North America.[19] The distribution of L. l. migrans ranges from north to eastern North America; however, its range has been diminishing since the 1940s.

Loggerhead shrikes have been repeatedly observed killing prey larger than themselves by spearing the neck or head of the animal and twisting. The speed at which this occurs causes a whiplash injury to the animal. The neck strength of the shrikes compensates, making their talon weakness inconsequential.

Although loggerhead shrikes are passerines, they are a predatory species that hunt during the day. They primarily eat insects, but also consume arachnids, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, bats and small birds.[30][31] They have even eaten venomous snakes such as the water adder. The size of prey ranges from 0.001 g (3.5×10−5 oz) insects to 25 g (0.88 oz) mice or reptiles.

After stabbing the prey they fly away until the dead body dries to eat it

[shell rapids]

People who play Minecraft! Mod suggestions for a harder, fantasy RPG esque modpack!

[hazy gate]

I use to use Mo' creatures for that vibe, for alot more mobs like trolls, wraiths and werewolves

old but gold

[shell rapids]

Idk if that's updated past 1.12?

[hazy gate]

Should be somewhere or maybe remade, it was so popular back then i cant see it being ded

It was one of the first big mods ever though, its gotta be somewhere updated or remade

[shell rapids]

Maybe
Alot of big mods back then are abandoned
But I can check

[hazy gate]

https://www.6minecraft.net/mo-creatures-mod-minecraft/ I dont know this site whatsoever but maybe this is actually it

[shell rapids]

Hmmm
I'm very iffy on any site that isn't curseforge or modrinth

[hazy gate]

same

[hazy gate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3MVSlHzFDw similar to mo creatures i imagine, 90+ new creatures added, can prob disable the ones you dont like, jus like mo creatures

these are only for the passive mobs it seems tho

[shell rapids]

Oh ive used Alexs mobs before

[hazy gate]

RL craft was a good mod ever used that?

[azure oar]

oh Alex‘s mobs?
there are also a lot of deadly mobs
and neutral ones
there is stuff like crocs(im pretty sure) and also fictional agressives

[shell rapids]

Modpack
Love it
1.12

I'm tryna make my own pack for mt server/servers on 1.19 or 1.20

[hazy gate]

Oh I see

[shell rapids]

(join my server, more people play I can open more servers, or maybe make it more than just Minecraft)

[azure oar]

I remember that one time where I got destroyed by a giant bone sailfish

[shell rapids]

I hate those things
They're So annoying

[azure oar]

it was the first time I actually got heavily jumpscared in minecraft

[shell rapids]

I find them more a nuisance

[azure oar]

I didn‘t know where they spawned

[hazy gate]

the other jumpscares were fallin in lava

[azure oar]

no

[shell rapids]

I was using origins as a merling and Made a house out of a shop
And once they started spawning

I died alot

[azure oar]

I dig down straight in a 2 block wide tunnel

[hazy gate]

I basically only died from lava, and was result of being in nether so much and ghasts, I never bring good gear there, only full iron and make sure ive done my enchanting with my levels before entering the nether lmao

[azure oar]

I‘m just paranoid till I get a piglin so I can trade fire resistance

[shell rapids]

Idk if theres any where (in vanilla) I struggle

I stroll into the nether with half broken iron like I live there

[azure oar]

tbh im surprised that I can play the Nether although I play 75% Creative

[hazy gate]

nether fortresses can get iffy if you accidentally let too many blazes spawn at once mixed with the wither skellies

like nether forts are more dangerous then any other area in mc imo that ive played and experienced

[azure oar]

I just bowspam and hope I can build a roof

[hazy gate]

maybe the wither and ender dragon are only worse

[azure oar]

I am the typical wood farmer and trader

[shell rapids]

I fight the wither underground so I can keep it from flying away as easy

[azure oar]

but as I said I like creative more than survival

[hazy gate]

yeah wither underground cant take the dps heat lol

[shell rapids]

Well moderately enchanted diamond gear

[west patio]

a

have u ever seen IRIS?

[acoustic dune]

Have you seen interstellars black hole scene?

What does it stand for?

[west patio]

yea

[acoustic dune]

I think the time warping abilities of the black hole in that movie is really cool but I have no idea if that is even possible or not

[west patio]

it's an analog horror based on an living planet that it's slowly consuming earth (it already consumed Neptune and uses it's storm like an eye)

[acoustic dune]

Oh very interesting

[west patio]

i like it too but there's another thing that is wrong on that film

[acoustic dune]

What’s wrong with it? I’m not very educated on space stuff

[west patio]

the double tsunami couldn't happen

it wouldn't make sense

[acoustic dune]

Oh it can’t? I’m sure there have been two rouge waves before

And tbh the gravity of the black hole is messing up that planet, maybe the two massive waves were caused by the black hole

[west patio]

because it's like the tide from earth, it's based on the moon

it "pulls the water up"

[acoustic dune]

The moons gravity makes the tides act right?

[west patio]

yea

i mean, it makes it happen

[acoustic dune]

So it’s not far fetched to say the black hole in interstellar was “pulling” on the ocean on the exoplanet in the movie causing the two big waves

(I am either very right or very wrong, someone correct me if I am)

[west patio]

so if we think the tide is like on earth we could imagine there couldn't be 2 giant waves at the same time because when one wave is happening in one side of the planet there couldn't be more waves because of the gravitational pull

[west patio]

yes

it could only have one wave

https://tenor.com/view/interstellar-edurance-black-hole-blackhole-gif-19755562

[acoustic dune]

If the black hole is on one side of the planet, it would pull all matter into it from the planet and the planet itself, causing the oceans to almost “wrap around” and split almost right?

[west patio]

black holes are cool af

[west patio]

i think so, probably

[acoustic dune]

Dude I sound so stupid I barely have any idea what I’m talking about, I passed astronomy with a low B

[west patio]

damn u had astronomy classes?

that's cool

[acoustic dune]

I’m just sticking with earth science, history, and paleontology

[acoustic dune]

Senior year in my high school offered it

[west patio]

damnit i hate living in south america, we don't have those things i actually love it

[acoustic dune]

Ik most collages offer some astronomy or meteorology classes

[acoustic dune]

You don’t have astronomy class?

[west patio]

i don't even have paleontology, earth science or any of those things

[acoustic dune]

Is there an astronomy club or museum you could volunteer at? Getting involved with things relating to the subject can help you out immensely

[acoustic dune]

What classes do you take?

[west patio]

i got Portuguese, English, Math, History, Geography, Philosophy, Art, PE, Text Writing

[west patio]

nah i live in a small ass city, there's not even a mcdonalds nearby

[acoustic dune]

Well if you want to get into earth science and/or paleontology, geography would be a good start to focus in early

It can open up paths later down the road

[west patio]

the closest museum is like 1 hour and a half on car

[acoustic dune]

Hmmmm I see

So no school clubs or anything for you?

[west patio]

i don't even want to work with those actually

[acoustic dune]

Could you possibly make one?

[west patio]

no

my school is really boring, a lot of things that i study are not related to it

[acoustic dune]

That’s the unfortunate reality of high school (assuming you are in HS)

Collage is where you really get to pick your future

Assuming you want to go to collage in the first place

[west patio]

I want to be a farmer and make an healthy fertilizer that is cheap and not dangerous to the environment

[acoustic dune]

Oh that’s great to hear!

Agriculture is great dude

[west patio]

i got everything that i need, my family already got a farm i just need to study and take notes with my grandpa and other people

[west patio]

i now right! And the place that i live there's not a lot of people that work with it

[acoustic dune]

That’s always great to have

[acoustic dune]

You wouldn’t have much competition that’s also very good

[west patio]

yes! So all i need to do is be smart and study a lot ( and have money )

[acoustic dune]

Heck yeah!
