i mean it rather implies living in an urban area, where the local bird and mouse population is not particularly important or just outright unwanted anyways.

afaik the notable thing is actually that the purrs help heal bone fractures, which is presumably something to do with vibrations helping the process along mechanically somehow.
But of course there’s also just the psychological effect of having a purring cat near you, same thing as how people heal faster from stuff like acupuncture despite the process itself not doing anything, we just benefit from feeling happy and cared for.

toxoplasmosis saw all the microbes in our gut living in harmony and wondered why the fuck everything else isn’t doing that, hell yeah let’s just make the humans feel happy and they’ll ensure our survival FOREVER

i mean it seems to me that aliens are likely to either be completely different from us or remarkably similar, depending on their environment.
Like look at how things on earth look: stuff in the ocean is either a fish or something completely unique and fucked up, and on land we have a series of ecological niches that reappear across time and location to the point that it’s kinda hard to tell the different incarnations apart.
I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to expect the odd humanoid alien, we should just also expect a bunch of them to be crabs and slime molds and fish.

but you can just try and try and try again until you get a good crystal, that’s what makes bismuth so good!
you can’t fail at making bismuth crystals, you can only fail at persevering.

- Comment on Driver caught doing 122mph on 30mph road as UK’s shocking speed records revealed 2 days ago:
how do you even manage that? was it just a particularly poorly designed road where they slapped a lower speed limit on it? because i cannot imagine being physically able to reach that speed on most low-speed roads.

everything is toxic, just depends on the dose
i’d certainly prefer to fill up on bread rather than dried peppers… - Comment on "Jokes on you, I'm into that shit" 4 days ago:
i’d more say it’s just that there’s always some other guy who goes “yeah well they twisted the tiger’s tail but… i haven’t twisted the tiger’s tail so maybe it’ll be different for me?”
then fucking somehow the tiger only smacks him on the head while making a funny face, he finds this fucking hilarious and does it again, gets his friends to do it, and now you have a group of dudes ooking like chimps while getting progressively more concussed.

i equal parts love and hate this kinda thing, seeing the fucked up shit evolution can turn animals into is so morbidly fascinating.
like how barnacles are horrifyingly twisted crabs, if you cut one in half you can see how there’s a compressed crustacean inside the shell. They are their own mech pilots, rooted in place, they have no mouth and they must scream.

for the same reason that blue cheese is only partially moldy, if it’s all mold then there’s no cheese left and it all becomes rather unappealing.
- Comment on i'm your god now. 1 week ago:
honestly i have to wonder if at some point spiders will evolve to actively avoid spooking us, i wanna live in a world where orbweaver spiders have the instinct to wait in specific places (like middle of the windows) where we pick them up and move them to a spot where they can set up a web and catch flies for us.

i mean, they reflect too, everything reflects, though we generally mean specular reflection but diamons have that too when they’re polished nicely.
