Horses are very gentle animals. They prefer to spend their days mucking about in nature, eating off plots of grass and drinking cool river water whilst sharing time and space with their fellow animals, even going to so far as to help facilitate humans to go fast. However, if you startle a horse, he may accidentally trample you to death and go back to idling about his domain mindlessly and without a care in the world for the previous day. Also they have huge penises.

What does /an/ think about horses?

Humans bred horses to have thin spindly legs and run faster. Donkeys or Tapirs are more similar to the original horse before human selective breeding.

It’s even funnier because there are actually snakes that will mock charge you which is easy enough to mistake for chasing, but cottonmouths don’t even do that. They just sit there and soiface at you

Possible with increased global warming leading to a Hycean Earth, people have this belief Earth would become like Venus or a dry desert baking in the Sun. In truth the atmosphere will increase by several atmospheres killing most terrestrial life and allowing sea-borne life to take advantage of abundant gases in the atmosphere.

Why can't we just domesticate possums? I'm a europoor so I've never seen one in person but watching videos of ones that were raised by humans, they seem so docile and eager to be domesticated, probably more fit for the role than any other "exotic pet" species.

I remember reading up a theory years ago about how they might have been quasi domesticated by natives befire colonization and that's why they act somewhat oddly. No clue if there's anything to that though.

Is it just me or are goldens getting bigger? I was going for a walk in the woods near where I live and saw something moving nearby to the right of me in the bushes and the closer I got the more I realized it was something big and I turned my back for a few seconds and then turned around and this enormous golden was following me, for a split second I thought it was a bear and it startled me. Obviously he just wanted to say hi and was just looking for his owner but he was huge, dark orange fur like pic related.

I just go on solo walks a lot. Doesnt matter the breed, male or female owner, time of day. If i am walking down a street and an owner and their dog is walking in the opposite direction, 7/10 times the dog will lunge at me. The only explanation i can see is that all of these dogs are not properly trained or socialized and see any man as a threat. Its made me hate dogs. Im thinking about buying a gun over this, seriously

Some religions say that you can be reincarnated as an insect as punishment for the things you did in your past life.
Would life as a bug really be all that awful? I used to think that being reborn as a fly wouldn't be so bad, since they only live for like a year, so you really don't have to wait all that long until you die. But then I learned that insects have a slower perception of time than we do. So one human year could feel like a lot more for a fly. Thoughts?

>be bug
>fungal spore lands on you
>life (3 days) over

Considering what life some people have to endure for DECADES, a life as a fly that ends with a quick swift swat with a newspaper would be preferable to them.

Counter-point.
Carnivorous plants. Digested alive able to breathe but unable to move.
I would argue that is one of the worst ways to die other than being eaten alive from the inside by maggots, which also happens to bugs.

>>5162938
>Digested alive able to breathe but unable to move.
Wouldn't that be the same as being swallowed whole by a bigger animal?
>>
>>5162923
>>5162938
if youre able to fly as an insect, youve already gone through 80% of your life, its like saying dying at 60 is worse than dying at 80
>>5162912
that doesnt change the fact that one second is one second, and you have it backwards, they perceive time faster than we do, because they react faster, ergo 1 second for us is 5 seconds to them, not 5 seconds to us is 1 second to them, this would be a tortoise or a starfish
