  Don’t you mean group A? Group B seems kinda lame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Want to lose weight? Poverty can help!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a fair point, being obese and poor can definitely be a a horrific feedback loop to get out of. In developed countries anyways, you don’t really see it in places where food is scarce, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sea cucumbers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it can get any more graphic than eviscerating yourself and covering your oponent with your own guts! (Some sea cucumbers do this, others produce a sticky substance specifically for this purpose.)

  Oh god, that reminded me of this statue. It has a LOT going on. So many questions. Perhaps they’re better left unanswered.

  Horseshoe crabs are not crusteceans, they are early chelicerates.

  They have an open circulatory system, where the blood (heamolymph) freely spills out of the arteries into surrounding tissues, so a small clot probably wouldn’t cause issues. Think of it like a cyst, sometimes if an infection can’t be removed by the immune system, your body will just enclose it in a capsule, so it can’t spread.

  Sadly a lot of the companies harvesting them will just kill and sell them for bait anyways.

  Of those that are released, about a third die. Not to say about the decrease in overall fitness, which can lead to them falling prey more easily.

  It’s obviously a traumatic experience for the animal in the best case scenario and that is going to reflect on their ability to survive in the wild.

  It is not an anticoagulant, quite the opposite actually. The blood (limulus amoebocyte lysate) will coagulate at the slightest hint of gram-negative bacteria and their endotoxins.

  It’s most likely a defense mechanism against bacterial infections.

  It’s widely used in medicine to check for bacterial contamination of injectable pharmaceuticals.

  Thank you! He lived to a pretty ripe old age for a dwarf hamster :) He was a rescue, so hard to say how old he was exactly, but we had him for over 16 months, which is nothing to sneeze at as is. One part of being a rescue was his bloodthirstiness, went right for the fingers. Hence a spicy Dumpling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll never not want to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently there’s just these three, as we have lost a very spicy dumpling last week.

  Don’t forget the goslings and moslings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do we make this happen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you want more people to visit their public library, aren’t fentanyl overdoses high enough as is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So I'm thinking about starting a new project⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do it. We need repetition and peer review, otherwise it’s just a case study.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A luxurious treat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to believe these are pickled body parts found at a serial killer’s pantry, because the idea someone pickled innocent veggies in this nightmare is somehow more disturbing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this is so real⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in therapy for so long, I basically understand it well enough intellectually to be able to help others.

  I know exactly how it’s supposed to help me, but deriving actual benefit or being able to apply the techniques to myself has never been the slightest possibility.

  Lol, rose-scented shea butter, starch and baking soda deodorant all the way baby. You apply it once a day, twice at most, it moisturizes and nourishes your skin, lasts all day, there’s no plastic and you get to laugh in the face of fragile masculinity.

  I’ve always thought oranges were supposed to be red.

  Lol, I’ve had IBS since I was a kid.

  Ben and Jerry’s has amazing stuff. They use soy lecithin sadly, so I’m still getting a mild allergic reaction, but definitely better than dairy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anyone else? i made this to represent my struggle.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m allergic to milk and soy protein. Ain’t no lactase pills are gonna save me.

  Chicken do not have periods. Most mammals don’t either for that matter.
