  tbf a good amount of smaller general issues can be in your digestive system, though then again that’s basically just an extension of your head what with the amount of nerves down there…

  take the job and ignore how they tell you to act, when the company lets someone go you just walk up to them with a basket of goodies (paid for with the company card) and shake their hand and share some complaints about higher ups

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf is ur problem⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  you do realize these are

  1. in a very specific artstyle, people back then were perfectly capable of drawing realistic stuff if they wanted
  2. drawn based on like, maybe fourth-hand accounts, they obviously managed to draw things they saw in day to day life without issue
     right?

  like, how would you manage if i gave someone a vague description of an animal that sounds made up, and then they told you what to draw?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf is ur problem⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  i’d imagine ostrich is the closest comparison, maybe alligator for the slow moving ones

  i’m so confused, who is jay and why does tetris11 not seem confused by you bringing them up?

  if you answer a phonecall while driving, get distracted, and kill a child in the process, would you just be fine with that? act like you drove over a beetle and just go on with your day?

  “so to confirm you have crippling social anxiety we’re gonna need you to sit in the waiting room for half an hour before you get to meet the doctor, who will have 13 students with them to observe the meeting”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it, and it prints you a free bus ticket.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  which is why public transport should be free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it, and it prints you a free bus ticket.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  if you actually want to save money on healthcare you make public transport free and good, and limit driving as much as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  counterpoint: a girly boy making out with a girl is even hotter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  even that is too strict IMO, gender and even sex are social constructs and it’s not like people are specifically attracted to the genitals.

  if someone says they’re a 100% turbostraight man that still doesn’t mean jack shit, genitals and appearance are independent and almost everyone cares about both to some degree.

  i just assumed i was straight until like 5 years ago, when i started realizing that actually i just like femininity A LOT and i don’t care what’s in the pants (i equally enjoy dick and puss and would quite enjoy both at once in ample amounts), and as of late i figured out that i even enjoy androgynity and some masculinity as long as there’s no fat or body hair.

  i would boldly claim that sexual orientation as a concept is completely useless, it’s like summarizing people’s food preferences into categories, it makes no sense on a fundamental level.

  i’m impressed “breaking bad” is separate from vegas, have you been memorizing the map?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can any scientists confirm this important fact?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  this is, of course, excepting orange cats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can any scientists confirm this important fact?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  i mean chimps just kinda generally suck, i’d wager if you look at bonobos instead they’ll beat the dog in empathy.

  It’s like chimps and bonobos are prototype humans, chimps are too violent and bonobos are too busy fucking each other at all times, and god finally got something more balanced when nudging humans into existence

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can any scientists confirm this important fact?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  dogs look where you’re pointing, cats look at your finger.
  you can direct a cat but you have to place your finger where you want them to look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can any scientists confirm this important fact?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  cats are just basically asexual outside of mating season afaik, whereas either wolves already don’t have a specific mating seasons or dogs just inherited our lack of one…

  it’s one of my favourite things about cats, you almost never have to worry about petting them in the wrong place (you know, provided the cat trusts you) nor do you have to worry about a red rocket sighting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can any scientists confirm this important fact?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  afaik it’s not that cats have evolved to meow at us, it’s much more simply that they notice that meowing is really effective at getting our attention, and if they happen to make other noises that catch our attention and help them get what they want, they’ll also use those noises.

  like, go watch the channel “lucy and stitch”, Stitch consistently and almost exclusively makes little “eh” noises, it doesn’t have to be meows.

  “observational maybe”

  what’re you on about? how precisely would i find communities on other instances without browsing ALL? i’m not gonna manually search for things…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not about shame, it’s about people going “Oh so that company sucks, let’s not work there”, resulting in the shitty company not having any fucking workers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Habit tracker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  to be clear, the nordics are all still extremely good places to live, it’s just getting worse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  as a person on a smaller instance, yes i like actually seeing things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  what if the duck eats the velociraptor?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This generally works for teeth as well, the shape of teeth shows what kind of food an animal eats. Carnivores have sharp pointy teeth and generally big canines, herbivores have big flat molars and flat incisors, and where something falls between these extremes indicates what their diet probably is.

  For example bears and humans are both omnivores, but bears have muuuuch larger canines while ours are… maybe useful for gnawing off a small tendon i guess?
  And lo and behold bears are carnivores that eat a lot of non-meat things, while humans are primarily foragers who’ll eat meat when we make prosthetic canines to hold in our hands :^)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the birds, obviously. primates exist to drop food for birds to eat
