not to keep sounding like a Killmonger apologist but like… if T’Challa hadn’t killed him?? this would be such a great time to have a conveniently murderous cousin in the palace basement. “look alive and suit up, asshole. you’ve got anger issues and we’ve got approximately 7000 aliens in the backyard. get to work.” [Okoye yeets Killmonger out a window into the middle of the fight]
Not to critique evolution, but I would think orange and black stripes wouldn’t be as good for camouflage in a forest as, say, green and black would.
It turns out a lot of animals can’t see the difference between orange and green! Elephants, for instance, have dichromatic vision (two types of cones, rather than three like most humans.)
Check out this diagram from ResearchGate. It deals with the color vision of horses, who are also generally dichromatic. (I think, though I’m not sure, that zebras would have the same color vision as horses.) See how orange and green look to them?
Not to critique evolution but I think prey animals should be better at telling when their predator is dressed like a traffic cone.
It doesn’t matter what zebras see, because tigers are not native to Africa and do not naturally hunt zebra. Tigers are Asian and mostly hunt animals like deer, elk, and buffalo. These aren’t animals with great color vision. They don’t need to have it because they don’t eat fruit and so don’t need to know when the berry is ripe vs when it’s not. Good color vision is too expensive to have if you don’t need it. Deer put their vision stats in a wide field of vision that is sensitive to motion, low light capabilities, and possibly seeing UV light. They don’t have great color and lack a lot of acuity, but have a great sense of smell and good hearing. That’s way more useful if you’re prey. Deer see well in the blue end of the color spectrum and less well in the red. This makes sense because deer are most active in the dawn and dusk periods, when there is more blue in the light. Tigers are taking advantage of deer eyesight by being orange.
We see tigers are being obviously colored because tigers are fruit colored to our tree ape brains.
I don’t know what the best part of this is: implying that deer chose their attributes on a character sheet, or the fact that we get to see tiger colors because they look like a snack.
Me: *picks up “dead” bat in my yard so my dog doesn’t eat it*
“Dead” bat: O_O
Me: O_O
Me upon realizing I am holding a very not dead bat and not dead bat realizing it has been picked up by a large creature at the exact same second: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
He scream
You want rabies? That’s how you get rabies
1.I picked it up with a towel and gardening gloves and never once touched it with my bare hands.
2.
3.The bat was at the bottom of my porch where I have to take my dog out but I guess I should have just left it there for her to eat right?
4.It was in a position that made it clear that it was most likely hurt from hitting my house and not just sick. It’s warming up in my area and they are just coming out from the winter and it was most likely confused because I live right next to the highway and there’s a lot of noise.
5.You can only get rabies from a bat by being bitten or otherwise getting its saliva in your bloodstream. And it was two inches long and I’m a grown ass adult with a towel and gardening gloves and a thick ass sweater.
Good thing you tagged it as “stupid people” because you obviously don’t know enough about the situation
I’m sorry I tagged it that way. That was incredibly childish of me. I’ve just had it pounded into my head that you don’t mess with sick or injured wildlife because of the risk of exposure.
I’m a registered Veterinary technician and I’ve worked with a rabid cat and it was terrifying
I’m sorry I got so defensive. I’ve seen a lot of bats killed in my area because people are misinformed about the rabies situation. I used to play with them as a kid by throwing sticks in the air and watching them swoop to get them and each year they were noticably fewer until they were just gone.
That was the most adult way I’ve ever seen an argument addressed on the internet.
Change ur mistress into a cow so your wife doesn’t catch you cheating
Appoint a guy with eyes all over his body to guard the cow so your husband can’t have sex with her anyways
If the url didn’t have the word greek in it to cue me in on the ridiculousness of Greek mythology I would just assume I had encountered the best shitposter on this whole website
Haphaestus is disabled and has some mental illness(es)
Gaia is black/has dark skin
Hades is disabled
Zeus is a rapist [ on multiple occasions ]
Eros is pansexual
Athena is most likely asexual
Dionysus is bisexual
all of the nymphs are nonbinary
Persephone is the goddess of spring growth
Thanatos is the god of death, not Hades
A few more:
Artemis is most likely asexual and aromantic (some interpretations lend themselves to demisexual)
Poseidon is also a serial rapist
In fact, the only one of the Big Three who isn’t is Hades
Hades is not a terrible person (certainly not when compared to his family)
Persephone is scarier/more widely feared than Hades ever was
Apollo is not straight
Zeus is not straight
Heracles is not straight
Eros has a twin brother named Anteros, and he is the god of requited love
Since Persephone is woc it follows that at least one of her parents (Zeus and/or Demeter) is also poc
Hera is not a “nagging wife” she is one of many of Zeus’ victims, and she takes her (justified) anger out on the wrong person
Thanatos is the god of peaceful death
Hestia exists. And is important.
Persephone was so widely feared that people wouldn’t write her name. They referred to her as Kore (shitty English typing sorry) which translates to queen. She struck more fear into people’s hearts than any other goddess. And she is the reason we have mint. She discovered that Hades had a lover before her and turned her into a leafy plant.
