Earth warms up from ice age. Big sloth too fuzzy. Loses fuzz and tries to climb tree. Big sloth too big. Small big sloth gets smaller, climbs tree.

Violence is never the answer. Violence is the question. And the answer is yes.

Hmm I wonder why a lot of us kill ourselves. Maybe everyone telling us we’re sinful freaks that ought to burn in hell or be locked in an insane asylum for the unnatural absurdity of wanting to look cute? Naw, couldn’t be that, tRaNS AgeNDa MAkEs PpL kIlL tHeMSeLveS uga buga…

I must politely request that you fuck off.

Edit: If this is satire please mark it as such, as many would post this unironically.

He didn’t have a proper sniper with a good scope, it was just, reportedly, an “AR-15 style rifle.” In which case, good shot. Very good shot. That’s a long ways, and proper sniper equipment is hard to get and harder to conceal.

Edit: I had no clue how close this actually was, at the time of writing the details hadn’t been released. 150 yards… yeah even I could make that shot. How do you miss that…

I introduce another option, as I’m much more detailed than even “1.” I can visualise entire scenes with the background and all, along with other sensory experiences such as touch, taste, and smell with complete realism. Very useful being in engineering. I do watch the referenced content, but it’s more to “enrich the dataset” so to speak, just for inspiration and to provide more details to imagine later. Sometimes I’ll just turn it off and go with the fantasy instead.

Idk about the mucous, but a fever is definitely an attempt at killing whatever foreign pathogen is there. Hopefully a pathologist or doctor can help us here.

So many good names to reuse. I say we pull out some victorian names, we’ve gotten past the “that’s my grandma” part of the cycle so it’s about due pretty soon.

Pretty much. And for etymology searches like this Wiktionary is a life saver. Just type in hippocampus and follow the link rabbit holes, and it gives you the etymology: hippocampus < hippocamp (mythical sea monster) < hippos (horse) + kampos (shark).

Campus might be from the Latin “campus, ī, 2m” for field or plain… maybe something to do with the “horse” part of it?

EDIT: nope. Kampos is also from Greek, it means sea monster or shark in this context… and hippos of course is horse. They had a “hippocamp” in mythology with the front end of a horse and rear of a dolphin, hence the “sea monster” etymology. Real sea horses are thus named because they resemble a miniature hippocamp.

Interesting. We have jars of smucker’s jellies here in America too, but it’s the homogenous seedless kind as described above, same stuff that’s in the squeeze bottle. We don’t really call it “seedless preserves” here though, that’s just implied with jelly. I might call the heterogeneous kind you described “jam” or “preserves” instead of jelly, but that distinction might be a local thing.

Agreed, I think a lot of conservationism can even go too far in removing or preventing natural adaptation to the human presence. I was mostly referring to cases where humans can transport species between local ecosystems in a way that wouldn’t occur otherwise, which can result in an environmental imbalance that doesn’t always fix itself since such changes in range don’t usually occur naturally on a scale as large as with, say, the introduction of the brown marmorated stinkbug into North America from Asia.

Were they introduced to the west by humans? If this migration is occurring without human intervention this is just evolution doing its thing.

Am a cancer, can confirm the cicada miso sounds like the best of that list.

No, we use more subtle methods…

Cyanoacrylate. Unless you’re literally soaking it in your food I’m not too concerned about food safety with where the joint is - but of course I’ve been exposed to so many carcinogens that a little super glue won’t matter
