Here is a higher resolution, non-horizontally squished, version of this image. It also doesn't have the fake tornado's added. It was posted by Daniel Loretto to Facebookon August 16, 2010 with the following caption:

> Lightning over Graz (14.8.2010)

Per here:

> The lightning bolts were captured in what was likely a composite image by Daniel Loretto on Aug. 14, 2010, according to Reddit user "/u/MrDorkESQ." The storm occurred in Graz, Austria, and there were no tornadoes accompanying those lightning bolts.

It's a bloodwood tree. There's a ton of images of them about. They have a vivid red sap and they look like they're bleeding when you cut into them.

Yup! Though every pinworm species specialises on infecting a particular host, rarely jumping the species gap - the only evidence we have, for example, of the human pinworm infecting another animal is from finding egg cases in Bonnet macaque guts; the monkeys live, of course, very close to humans in Southern India, living off our waste etc.

Frog parasites are no threat to us. Could rub yo' face in it and be fine.

Big skull belongs to an Ussuriland boar the smaller one is from Sardinia. Both boars were both male and had similar levels of tooth wear so the difference in size can't be attributed to sex or age.

That isn't how this works. Those tusks won't grow long enough to pierce its skull until well after it has reproduced. Since long tusks actually attract mates (as they good for defense) there's no real evidence to suggest nature is selecting against these. Not to mention they often curve away and pass by the ears. This specific case was covered in this book.

What some people need to realize is the standard isn't perfection and self-killing tusks aren't going to be selected for or against if they have no bearing on reproduction. These "flawed" genes can healthily propagate when they don't influence their own passing on.

I'm reading a book by Martin Doyle that had a chapter describing the American Southwest's water politics. In it Doyle referenced an old growth (500 years old+) tree ring study that showed that the years of American west expansion into these states were uncharacteristically WET period for the region. This implies that the local climate is regressing to it's typical hydrology. Basically these droughts are going nowhere.

This gif comes from the BBC series "The Hunt". It's in episode 4, titles "Hunger at Sea". This is the link to the episode on Netflix. It may also link to the exact time code the sequence starts at, but if it doesn't, it begins just before 5:00 in.

I seriously suggest you watch the entire series. It's one of the most gorgeous nature docs I've seen, and the intros are just something else entirely. And it's narrated by Sir David Attenborough!

Fish will regularly avoid painful/stressful environments or actions, just keep a home aquarium and you can see these behaviors pretty readily in most of the species people keep except the incredibly small. Theres an excellent book of fish and pain also called “do fish feel pain?” .

The author has published a few scientific articles on the subject and her conclusion is that fish DO feel pain, and they might have the capacity to suffer.

You should give Gus Mills's book Hyena Nights and Kalahari Days a whirl then, it's chock-full of fascinating insight into brown hyenas as Mills studied their lives and habits.

That's an awesome pic! Unfortunately it's a composite. It's from Nick Brandt's "This Empty World" collection.

The Amazon description is below.

>Moving into color photography for the first time, this monograph of new work from photographer Nick Brandt is both a technical tour de force of contemporary image making and an ambitiously scaled project that uses constructed sets of a scale typically seen in major film productions.
>
>Each image is a combination of two photographs taken weeks apart, almost all from the exact same camera position. The starting point of each composition is always the animal photographed in its native savannah landscape. Brandt then designs and builds sets in the precise location of the original photograph depicting the human developments, such as gas stations, highway and bridge construction sites, and bus stations, that are invading the East African landscape. A second sequence is then photographed with the completed set, populated by a large cast of people drawn from local communities and beyond.
>
>The final images are powerful composites of the two source photographs, which presents the wild animals and the people as equal victims of the environmental―both now aliens in their once-natural, once-native habitat

​

This article is outdated, within the last few years our understanding of brains and nerves has advanced quite alot and theres quite a bit of evidence to suggest fish DO feel pain even if its not in the way me and you do. Suggesting they may even suffer.

The prime evidence for this is a book written by professor victoria braithwaite called “Do Fish Feel Pain?” .

And a few other scientific articles.

While this is certainly true and people react to bites differently, there are people that certainly don't get bitten or harassed nearly as often. (Me being one of 'em)

It's still a topic under research, but there's a lot of articles that illustrate the more common theories. I think a lot of it has to do with genetics, what odors you omit, skin composition and what compounds your skin produces, and how naturally sweaty you are.

Thank you for this post. The whole, "dying in your sleep" myth is a toxic one that needs to go away. Reading the book "How We Die" forever changed my perspective on this.

Dying is not fun. It is not peaceful. It is often agonizing and terrifying. Our bodies are not built for dying. Evolution only gets us as far as creating and caring for children - what happens to us when we're old and when we die is besides the point from an evolutionary perspective. It is not an optimized experience.

I'm all for hospices and the movement towards voluntary euthanasia, but the idea that a "natural" death is in any way desirable is hogwash.

That's the thing, unless you happen to have an MRI beforehand, there'll be no warning, and even then, there's no guarantee. I came very close to losing my wife to something called an AVM. Basically, simultaneous aneurysm and stroke. As the above article says:

>Some people with brain AVMs experience signs and symptoms, such as headache or seizures. AVMs are commonly found after a brain scan for another health issue or after the blood vessels rupture and cause bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage). > >Once diagnosed, a brain AVM can often be treated successfully to prevent complications, such as brain damage or stroke.

Well, we weren't so lucky, and it was never diagnosed before it ruptured and stroked. She just called me one day (she happened to have taken the day off of work) and simply said. "Something isn't right. My head feels like it's trying to explode and implode at the same time. Please come home, I think I need to go to the hospital." This all happened within a matter of seconds - ZERO warning signs. When we got her to the hospital, they took her blood pressure, and if you recall that BP has two numbers (x/y, for instance), I can't remember what y was, but x for her was over 210. This is not good. Long story short, they rushed her to KU Med (our local hospital thought KU Med would have better&new equipment, being a med school), and after God knows how many MRIs, CT scans, and God knows whatever other tests, they cracked her skull, went in, and cut out the tiny tangle of blood vessels that had ruptured. She survived, and unbelievably, no lasting effects - no memory loss, has all motor movement, no vision problems, no vocal problems.

That was 5 years ago. I haven't bought a lottery ticket since then. Why bother? We already won.

Move somewhere remote. Build a really protected house, like a concrete dome. Have a store room with enough food & supplies to get you, your family and maybe a few friends/neighbors alive for several years.

Stock up on some valuable essentials such as salt, sugar and sodium-chloride. You'll want the bleach in it's dry form because once it's mixed with water it has a shelf life of roughly 6 months. Stock up on dry goods that have a very long shelf life. Examples would be rice, beans, flour, grains etc. Store them in air tight containers and don't store them all in the same container. Grain beetles/moths will ruin your day. Don't just buy them and never use them either. Actually eat them regularly but eat the oldest stuff first and don't let your stocks run low. It's a cheap way to eat.

There's about 1700 calories in 1lb of dry white rice. So one 50lb bag could keep a single adult reasonably well fed for about 2 months. About 1400 calories/day. Obviously supplement that with other stuff ideally.

Have a way to cook it too. A camp stove along with a couple 20lb propane tanks (like for grills) will keep you going for a good while.

You might want to consider one of those insulated thermal cookers to reduce energy needs for cooking. It's a pot that you get heated up then you stuff it into an insulated case and it'll stay hot enough to keep cooking for an easy 20 hours. Cuts your energy usage down to like 10-20minutes.

A decent air filtration system with some washable reusable filters isn't a bad idea either.

I could go on but you get the idea.

Reddit Sync, which is easily the best Reddit app on Android. The developer is amazing, and is very active on his sub /r/Redditsync to take bug reports, and is always updating it with new features. I recommend it highly, without hesitation.

Edit: The free version is exactly the same as the paid version, except it contains ads, but it's definitely worth the upgrade to support such a great developer.

i meant the only case where a person stepping into such a situation would make a difference for the future of the species (and therefore would have any meaningful effect on the world and would warrant somebody getting pissed off about something like that) would be if it was one of the last white rhinos alive or a similar situation (actually happening right now btw: https://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/16/africa/kenya-northern-white-rhino/index.html)

I'm not making any rules whatsoever, I am questioning your logic that implies that humans are somehow NOT a part of nature or that our behavior is somehow unnatural, simply because we have built cities and air conditioning. i mean beavers build stuff too, so if they hang out in their dam, fairly safe from predators, would they also not be a part of nature at that moment? do they need to leave their house and be in danger of being eaten to count as part of nature? are only people living in areas with wild animals capable of killing you part of nature then by your logic?

Isn't that a Death's Head Hawkmoth?

They make a little chirping noise if you touch them. They do something else too: they brazenly fly right into bee hives, zero fucks given, and just start munching on honey. The bees leave them alone because the moths use their abilities to chirp/hum to mimic the sound of the queen bee.

If you have Netflix, I highly recommend watching David Attenborough's Natural Curiosities. In that episode he does a segment on this moth. Watch the whole series because it's awesome and Sir David Attenborough is an ultimate badass.

Not to get too dark here, but asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen could be euphoric, but drowning is pretty painful and terrifying. Your body will trigger two survival instincts which are sort of at odds with one another. On one hand you will involuntarily start trying to gasp for air underwater. At the same time, your body will trigger your gag reflex to try and expel and prevent water from entering your lungs. This will go on and on until you finally pass out due to lack of oxygen. ‘Stuff You Should Know’ has a good podcast episode on this exact subject. How Drowning Works

There's not an agreed upon cause, but all of the main theories have to do with sunlight and water particles. Plant matter doesn't make any logical sense. The air wouldn't be capable of sucking the chlorophyll out of the plants, or interacting with the chlorophyll properly to produce the effect that people see.

Im using Sync, seemed to have best fitting UI for me. But as this thread already proves, there's a lot to choose from - almost any unofficial app is better than the official one anyway.

The thing that many newer reddit users don't realize is that the unofficial reddit apps existed many years before reddit launched their own app. It basically just lead to this situation where the official app is by far the worst one on the market, since the unofficial apps have been polished over the years.

The official app could literally just copy the features from the unofficial ones to get started faster lol.

You're talking like 'black = from dog' is a fact, when it's really not.

https://www.academia.edu/8278227/FIRST_RECORD_OF_MELANISTIC_INDIAN_WOLF_CANIS_LUPUS_PALLIPES_FROM_THE_INDIAN_SUBCONTINENT

> Anderson et al. (2009) have discussed in greater detail the evolution and adaptive significance of melanism in the North American Grey Wolf. They have revealed that the mutation in K locus in dogs gave rise to dominant K^B allele,leading to inheritance of black coat colour. They also postulated that this mutation might have arisen in Old World wolves before domestication, and then was lost from that gene pool and was again introduced in North American gray wolves through native American dogs. However, the occurrence of melanistic wolves in the Indian subcontinent,which is the oldest lineage of wolves (Sharma et al. 2004),challenges the hypothesis of complete disappearance of the gene responsible for the black coat colour from the gene pool of the Old World wolves. It may indicate the recent re-introduction of the gene from dogs to Indian wolves through hybridisation, or recurrence of an independent mutation in Indian wolves.

Thus it may be naturally occurring and not the result of selective breeding, and even if inherited from domestic dogs it may have come from wild wolves in the first place.

It's also rather silly to say that traits on a wild wolf that has a couple little rafts of domestic dog DNA aren't 'naturally occurring'. They're occurring over and over and don't seem to be selected against.

To answer your question, it were the local Indonesian people working on the coffee plantions of the VOC owners which at that time ruled Indonesia. The people found out while working during the day that there were animal droppings of the Palm Civet laying around in the coffee plantation with digested coffee beans inside of them. They secretely took these home, washed, dried and roasted them as any regular coffee to be able to enjoy the coffee beverage as they were not allowed to by the VOC. They thought they were drinking terrible coffee but found out it was the best they could ever have. After a while the plantation owners found out about it and made sure these were collected and exported to Europe for the aristocrats and rich people to enjoy.

Random cool related fact in exchange for that neat essay: the word "sleuth", like a detective, actually comes from the Scottish interjection for the sound a bloodhound makes when he poops.

The Scottish bloodhounds used by the police for tracking criminals on the lam were colloquially known as "sleuth-hounds", because accorring to the Scots when they poop it sounds like slooth. Scottish bloodhounds w so admired by the police that that's where the English and American word "sleuth" comes from, in reference to a detective.

So when Humphrey Bogart is breeding about being "the best sleuth in LA", he's also bragging about being the best dog shit in LA in archaic Scottish.

>While the phrase "survival of the fittest" is often used to mean "natural selection", it is avoided by modern biologists, because the phrase can be misleading. For example, survival is only one aspect of selection, and not always the most important. Another problem is that the word "fit" is frequently confused with a state of physical fitness. In the evolutionary meaning "fitness" is the rate of reproductive output among a class of genetic variants.

A study actually showed how decreases in vulture populations in India likely led to increases in rabies incidents in humans. This happened because with higher vulture numbers, livestock that died got eaten/disposed of largely by vultures, but without them, feral dogs essentially took their place. This new food source was likely the primary cause of an increase in the feral dog population, and a increase in the number of humans getting bitten/infected by rabid dogs.

>I do see both animals struggling, but one is attempting to kill the other.

Yes, it's almost like that's how things in nature survive.

&#x200B;

>It’s not hypocrisy to help the animal that is being killed, it’s empathy.

No, it's definitionally hypocrisy. You have selective empathy. You are saying "there is no evidence the shark is starving". Tell me, what are the signs a shark is starving? You have literally no information except, and you cannot deny this, you *feel bad* for the turtle.

If the shark is hunting, that means, wait for it - it needs to eat.

Again your entire foundation for your decision is *your feelings*. That's an *awful* way to make a decision about what lives and what dies. You are saying that I am elevating humans to some sort of divine status, meanwhile here you are choosing who lives and who dies, like some emperor giving the thumbs up or down based on the noise of the crowd.

You need to read Paul Bloom's Against Empathy. And no, it's not about being an unfeeling robot. It's about not letting your emotions get in the way of doing the right thing. It's about having the courage to feel bad, knowing that you did the right thing.

I look at this turtle, and all I want to do is scoop it up into the boat. But I wouldn't. And I would feel like an asshole. But it is not my place to deny a living creature of the wild a meal that is hard won. I am not a god and I am not making the decision of who wins a natural contest between wild animals.

Do you have a copy ofDonner Dinner Party

I just read a book about this. They believe It got into the wild because they ate feed that was tainted with the prion. Prions are protiens that are not folded correctly. Thing is, they dont die. So the area gets infected with these prions and spreads.

Not sure what it's called in USA /your area Mine is similar to this Beastron Bug Zapper Electric Fly 3000V USB Rechargeable, Mosquito Racquet Killer Racket with LED Light & 2 Layer Mesh (Large Size), yellow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073BX345P/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_1K49Z2Q78GRMBXH7WB6H

story

It's a true story he tried asking people in his village for help. But they were scared and left him to it. So in 12-48 hours he was getting hunted desperate for help. He hid in his cabin and the tiger waited behind a matress outside. Stalking him, and him knowing he was next. Everyone in village knew about it too. And had warned him not to take the tigers kill/food.

Book on it 350 pages

I don't get your point here. Ok, suppose that there is a God creator of everything, etc. I can't see why he would create a world where things like this happens just because. So either there is a God and he is evil or there is no God at all. And just to add a reference to my point, there is a large literature in philosophy of religion arguing exactly that animal suffering is evidence of the inexistence of a God (as "God" is usually defined, at least). Example.

>the neat thing about science is you can analyze for yourself what he's saying. he's right. we're not in the middle of a climate cataclysm ......

I thought we were going to do this thing, but instead, you go to this:

>I'd prefer you find your own sources, if I post anything you'll attack the source not the actual research.

Why are you suddenly on the defensive? Why do you suddenly think that I will attack the source? This makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Interesting. I looked up some articles and comments on this scientist and his book. The link below to a reddit thread has a very well thought out comment from u/DocHarford. I hadn't considered the importance of the the accuracy of the models because I assumed they were generated in good faith, and that the peer review process would drive out bad models. Perhaps I am wrong.

>What story? the earth heating up? it has been for thousands of years man, where did the Wooly Mammoths go!? are we exiting an ice age?!

I assumed that if the earth is heating up, we would understand the reasons why, and they would be documented. It would be interesting to compare the "natural" reasons for the earth warming to the reasons put forth by those who accept that climate change is real.

> Interesting. Can you post a link to that story and evidence?

What story? the earth heating up? I'd prefer you find your own sources, if I post anything you'll attack the source not the actual research.

> And can you tell me: what causes the earth to heat up?

an insane amount of things we can barely begin to scratch the surface of??! For example, how do we account for clouds over the pacific ocean? how do you model that? at what resolution? 16x16 miles? 1x1 mile? what does actual research use? you may be shocked at how... "low resolution" these models are, and how much data is fudged

There's a japanese climate scientist who wrote a whole book going over his disillusionment with climate research, and how much data is fudged/played with when we know it's not going to be accurate..

They do...seriously: 2011 article.Man-Eating Lions Attack by the Dark of the Moon:

>Throughout Africa, people have killed most lions straying outside of nature reserves. Not so in Tanzania, where the big cats still roam freely in many areas. In a huge southern swath of the country, they have been attacking people with regularity. Between 1988 and 2009, lions ambushed more than 1000 people, killing and devouring two-thirds of them.

>Ecologist Craig Packer, a lion expert based at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, began studying the situation several years ago, motivated, he says, to help protect Tanzanians from truly horrific deaths at the paws of a conservation icon. "No one ever forgets one of these lion attacks," he says. "They're indelibly etched in the memories of the survivors and the family members of the victims."

Packer also wrote Lions in the Balance

Taint indeed feels good but the prostate is still covered by, well, the taint - a pretty thick layer of flesh and muscle. It's the same reason why your general practitioner goes through the anal to check your prostate.

Finding your prostate with your own fingers can actually be challenging and I agree it can be uncomfortable with your own finger; the way your hand and finger needs to curl up to reach your own is limiting. Feeling someone else's prostate is easier.

It seems advanced, but I actually think a small toy, like a prostate wand (looks like an extension of your finger with a bulb on the end), is infinitely easier to feel your own prostate. I recommend the sinclair wand plastic version. Do not be intimidated by the size; you only need to insert the first or second "knuckle" to immediately access the prostate. The sensation is electrifyingly intense the first time. Do not worry about using the vibration function. I personally actually find vibrations distracting and can get a much more natural and powerful-feeling stimulation with the vibrator off. Good luck.

Aight, fun fact:

Reference 1: The Sexual Teachings of the Jade Dragon: Taoist Methods for Male Sexual Revitalization

Reference 2: The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress: Secrets of the Female Taoist Masters

The Dragon is the male. The Tiger (Tigress) is the female.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a clever reference to a blowjob.

I'll copy and paste something I wrote a while ago :):

He's trained specifically for antlers, but being that he spends so much time tracking deer we kind of side trained him to track blood as well as the deer. That way, if I lose a deer while hunting, I can go grab this little dude and he can help me find the deer I shot.

As for training, my wife did a lot of the work.

We essentially played fetch with a plastic antler with scent on it. It's this kit, you can get it on amazon at that link or bass pro shop if you're in the states. ->

Then, we hid it easily around the house ->

Then, we hid it kinda hard around the house ->

Then, we hid it easy around our yard ->

Then, we kept practicing, making them harder to find as we went on.

I hope that helps!
