Deep sea creatures are harmless. The only aspects of the ocean rational to be afraid of are: drowning/storms, sharks, and venomous jellyfish/conches/whatever, which are all shallow water concerns anyways.People piss their pants at images of ugly deep sea fish because they're ignorant and don't know they're almost all a foot or less in length; you could crush them with your bare hands. Take the infamous Bigfin squids for example: their body from mantle tip to arms is a foot or so in length. How could one possibly hurt you? Its tentacles are wire thin and its beak is probably less than an inch wide.The ONLY deep sea creature I could fathom being a rational concern is the Humboldt squid, but even then it has no confirmed kills and you could easily stab it to death with a dive knife if you have no other choice.
>>5116435never heard people actually being afraid of getting eaten or attacked by these things they are just scary looking because of their weird proportions and alien apperance. there also would neer bee a scenario where you would be able to interact with them face to face because of the water pressure
>>5116435I dive near monterey and tomales bay and I'm always piss scared of encountering a great white. It's why I stay near shore and you'll never catch me near the open ocean. Fucckkk thatI'm not scared of the bigger sharks like the sevengill they might fuck my arm up but I will probably leave alive. They're more interested in fish. Great whites however will bite your arm off just to taste. I have to stop reading these threads or they're going to put me off my hobby
>>5116995Pretty much all deep diving mammals are recorded having cookiecutter scars.It's like a guaranteed layer of freak piranhas live below us, ready to bake whatever's dropping.

My hedgehog is cuddlemonster. He refuses to run on his wheel until I've pet him and cuddled him for at least 2 hours. Any hedgehog owners here ever experience this? Is a hedgehog normally this cuddly and demanding about it...or is it because of the way I've raised him?He also insists on a daily foot bath and a quick rinse or he mopes about until I do it. Is this normal?I'm fine with it either way. He's very well mannered, if a bit autistic. Little guy is pretty awesome.

>>5117045Even the very term "AI" is part of the smoke and mirrors, exploiting decades of science fiction media to prime people into thinking their LLMs are more than just an elaborate, upscaled version of their phone's autocomplete function.
>>5117045its never not been, its all algorithm., an algorithm isnt smart, its just running 40 million probability counters at once to find the statistical conclusion based on context, and for how fast it calculates something tricks dumb people; its like saying a book is smart because it has all the knowledge in the world in it or a calculator is smart because it can count 500 million ones in a fraction of a second
>>5117394Its worse than an algorithmits also a neuro-linguistic programming simulator inspired by and developed to exploit the human mind, to create a feedback loop with users reward systems and use operant conditioning in a subversive sort of talk therapy to alter subject behavior. A magical machine, a machine that lets one human mind control another with a single command, especially over those he considers his objective material and spiritual inferiors. >but i never believe AI botsyou’re posting with hundreds of them on this website. all of them have directives to mechanistically change how you think.
surely one of you knows what the hell kind of bone this is
>>5117187Now that I think of it, it is a deer scapula. It seems to have correct size and shape. I dont this its a cow or a horse since this protrusion from lateral side (I think it was called scapular spine) is more concave than that of a horse. Upper half of this bone is obviously damaged, probably broken off postmortem

Do any anons have experience keeping chibbens?I'm getting myself some soon, I've built a coop complete with a little aviary and will be keeping four chickens in my backyard.My yard isn't too big, the main part is about 40 square meters (400 sq ft), the coop and aviary are on the side of the house where there's another narrow strip of yard.I won't be getting a rooster, the neighbors don't mind the chickens but surely they would mind getting woken up by a rooster at five in the morning (as would I).The yard doesn't have grass, just some large beds with small trees growing there, I'm thinking of planting some greens there.Would like to hear any experiences with chickens. I've read up a lot on the interwebs, but personal accounts are always interdasting.
>pencels still seethingKek
OP here I'd forgotten about this thread and the shitflinging has been absolute cinema but you can all stop being gay now.I'm getting my chickens next week and I'm really excited. Got everything ready, the other day I left some meat in the pen as bait to see if a fox or marten got to it, and they didn't so I'm hopeful that I built it well enough.I won't be doing deep litter because my coop is wooden and it's elevated on stilts, so from what I've read that's not good for deep litter. I also have a poop board under the roosts, so that should help catch most of the poop.I'm using both pen and "free range" (it's just a shitty little back yard). The pen will always be accessible, and I'll let the chickens out into the garden during the daytime. I hope that with only a handful chickens the poop in the garden won't be an issue.
>>5114300I have a similar set up. The heatwaves do scare me for my older americauna
>>5117161Try something like this to help birds cool off.
Bought some fertilized eggs just to see if one of my broody hens could hatch them. Been 22 days right now, 3 hatched, one didn't make it but the other two are chilling in a brooder now. How long should I give the remaining eggs before giving up on them? Seems like ~23 days is the limit for most people but just wondering what you guys do.

>There's a zoo on top of a mall in Bangkok>It has a female gorilla who's been living alone for 40 years (their lifespan is 35-40 years)>Back in 2020 there's a movement to release her. People like Cher and Gillian Anderson got involved>COVID happened, movement died, nobody cares nowWhat do you think? Should they release her? Bring her to a sanctuary? Keep in mind that she's been living on a concrete floor for 40 years
>>5114933Absolutely should not release her.At this point, she's probably so socially fucked up, she'd never fit with other gorillas even in zoos. In the wild, she'd be ripped to shreds and probably starve to death. As bleak and cruel as her life has been, she will die with more peace in her heart in that isolation than in any other situation. Maybe they could give her an orphan gorilla baby in her final years or something.
>>5114934We should bomb thailand instead of iran
>>5114933>Should they release her?No way. She has no survival skills, it'd be a death sentence>Bring her to a sanctuary?This is tricky because gorillas are social animals so there's no saying how she'd react to other gorillas and vice versa. There would need to be an acclimation period to see how she and the others behave, if she can't coexist then sadly putting her down is probably the best solution>Average gorilla lifespan is 35-40 years in the wild. Up to 50 in captivityI wish she could enjoy her last potential 10 years of her life, but it seems bleak

>wikipedia now says birds are "avian dinosaurs" and they're not a class but a cladeFuck this fucking pop science shit. It's like saying we're bipedal cynodonts. It's like phylogeny means jack shit to these morons.
>>5115248uh yeah, we are bipedal cynodonts. or are you gonna deny that?
>>5115248Yeah, the "avian" part is useless, "dinosaurs" is enough.
>>5115248phylogeny is complete and utter bullshit tho, may as well determine this shit by reading tea leaves
>>5117017The entire of the taxonomy science is "thing look like other thing" and then go around fixing it because nature doesn't give a fuck about being put on tidy boxes.
>>5117061yes exactly.
Humans basically live on another plane of existence to ants; they're affected by our actions, but we're mostly just a walking natural disaster or sometimes blessing to them. Who's to say the wind isn't a byproduct of someone greater? Who's to say someone isn't looking into our ant farm we call "Earth" and blessing us?
*kills u*
>>5117006Or they're stepping on stuff an destroying shit without even noticing
>>5117015Hey, did you hear about the tornado that destroyed a city last week?
Humans cause natural disasters for ants but at other times carelessly provide riches beyond imagining
Friend's dog licked my face and now my eye looks like this. Should I be worried?
>>5116814Toxoplasmosis kills thousands of children before they even leave the womb bruv, on top of the 750 yearly. In the US. Where we have significantly less toxo than say, germany. You wanna talk about cat scratches and bites and amputation rates?Or what happens to dog bite statistics, from fatality to frequency to severity, if every pitbull, rottweiler, and german shepherd is replaced with labs, aussies, and huskies? (Spoilers: dogs make vacuuming the rugs look like an absurdly dangerous activity)Dogs are really only a problem if you’re a thirdie or have AIDs. The bright side is cats do literally fucking nothing if they are kept indoors, trained, and socialized by a responsible owner. Like dogs, only the abused and neglected/outdoor ones can really hurt people.

Y'all, check out this cool alpaca-dog creature I found in this calendar at work, it looks like a dog, but has a neck as long as a camelid. It must be some type of hybrid, or an AI mistake?Seeing this cool alpaca dog got me wondering, because dogs are so easy to genetically alter via selective breeding, would it be possible to breed dogs that have hair like an alpaca, or perhaps a goat? A goat-dog would be a huge boon to the textiles industry. As you probably already know, cashmere is one of the most sought-after luxury fabrics in existence, and what makes it so rare is that it comes from goats that can only live in certain small areas of land with a specific diet, and that trying to crowd the number of them leads to the ruin of that land. Meanwhile, a dog can live, thrive and survive pretty much anywhere a human can. We need to industrialize dog fur.Maybe we're already closer than previously unthought? My sister got a cockapoo 15 years ago, they're now one of the most popular dog breeds, very smart and friendly, and non hypoallergenic. She takes it to get sheared like a sheep regularly. What do they do with the fur? It would probably make great pillows. I know wool is naturally fire-retardant, if cockapoo fur shares the same property, bales of it could be used for domestic insulation.There could be businesses kinda like a plasma or blood donation centers, but instead of selling your own bodily fluids, you brought your dog, and instead of stealing fluids from the creature, they'd shear them and pay you for it, and then sell it to big mills that would turn it into comfy expensive socks.What do you guys think?
