What do we think about the Great Shark Coverup theory?www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9q6jVAY_EATL;DW shark fatalities per year are vastly underestimated and the total is closer to 100-400 deaths per year. A mix of tourism boards and shark apologists fudge the numbers for profit-seeking and misguided ideological reasons (Jaws guilt). Perhaps not a true conspiracy but a convenient convergence of interests. The ocean is a jungle infested with gigantic predators and the risks, while small, are still much larger than what people will tell you, especially the 'sea puppies" crowd that insists they are just misunderstood.What is the verdict on this theory?
>>5072008There are no statistics on how many people are reported as "lost at sea"It's tens of thousands a year, people who just vanished when out diving, fishing, swimming, surfing, paddling etc. There are no answers as to what caused them to go missing, but when you have video of a guy being dragged under next to a boat at sea, and the official cause of death is "lost at sea" then that should be all you need to know.A significant percentage of people "lost at sea" were likely taken by sharks. Especially out at sea. If an oceanic whitetip spots you, then you're likely the first possible meal it has seen in days, you are going to be attacked.
>>5072180But there are statistics on how many people drown and are recovered each year, which are in the hundreds of thousands. If 300,000 people drown and 15 people get killed by sharks why would you assume a major proportion of the 10,000 who go missing would also be shark victims?
Why don't sharks ever attack deepwater jews despite sharing the same habitat? Yet sharks attack normal land-dwelling humans. Something doesn't add up here. I think I have a lead on who is behind the shark attacks and their coverups...
>>5072617>deepwater jews

>>5072251You could so easily get slapped off your mount by that tail it's not even worth trying.
>>5072251probably Austroraptorit was piscivorous, so humans wouldn't really be on the menu

My dog is 20 years old. I walk him twice a day, and I put on him a Tailwinds brand hip brace. That device really works. He doesn't exhibit hip shaking anymore.This image isn't him, but it looks like him. I don't have a smartphone, and I don't take pictures. I give him Ivermectin once a month. I'm hoping that maybe some anons can give me some tips from experience on how to take good care of an old dog.
You should walk your cat.
>>5072478>I don't have a smartphone, and I don't take pictures.Unfathomably based. Sounds like you're a good owner. Keep it up.
>>5072523Thank you anon. Smokey is such a blessing to my life. I hope he's got a few years left in him.

You did something that killed them. I have some I bought 5 years ago that are still fine. I just leave them outdoors in a dish of distilled water. I don't do anything else ever except refill the water.
>>5071567Ok. Several things. One? Make sure the plant is being watered with distilled water. Two? These are a temperate species. They’re NOT tropical. They’re just fine going below freezing and kind of need that to be healthy. They also do better with fairly bright sunlight. I’m a pitcher plant autist, but I keep some flytraps too.
>>5071596that sounded cool so i wanted to read more about it but instead i just learned that you were lying
>>5071596There is a Carnivorous plant who does something similar but in the case of the Fly Trap they absorb the nutrient of the liquified interior of the insect via specialized part on the leaf.
Alright /co/ I need your help.Me and my brother were both cesarean births and as a result we never endured intial immune system shock. This has led to me and my brother from suffering with lifelong allergies with the likes of hayfever, and most importantly, animals. To be more specific we are both allergic to the saliva of animals which means conventional animals like horses and donkeys are completely fine but as soon as we come across animals that groom themselves via licking we react. It sucks ass because I love cats and dogs and I worry that if I get girlfriend who has a dog or cat that it will stop my chances as I won't be able to live with them both. I can fuss cats or dogs but I need to immediately wash my hands or else I will react if I touch my face and if I enter a space that isn't cleaned enough I can react to the dust or hair which still has residule saliva. Cats are particulary bad for me in that regard due to how fine their coats are and while larger dogs are more heavy or dense their slobber being left or dried onto surfaces are just as bad.Is there anyway to stop these allergic reactions? Money isn't concern and I already take medicine like cetrizine on account of my hayfever which helps lessen but not fully eliminate my allergic reactions to cats or dogs. Funnily enough other self-grooming animals like birds or parrots don't make me react at all even with the amount of dust they kick out.
>>5072449Fasting helps reset your immune system and has helped people with autoimmune disorders before.

I know animals that get use to being fed often times interact with and bite humans.My area has recently been infested by yuppies and suburbanites with people encroaching.I've always lived rurally and I throw my trimmings from processing into the woods. I know racoons, possum, fox, and coyote all eat from there.How can I encourage more animals to vote more suburbanites? since their going to genocide the wild life population anyway I'd like them to get their licks in.How can I make this a bigger problem?In return, my best picture of my most colorful bug.Fresh content.

>>5072068It’s mostly chinese tourists kicking deer. That’s why they’re mad at an apparent blame shifting. The latest major incident was also a chinese man. Japan is the kind of society that has a negative reaction to "others also do…" rhetorical tactics
>>5072431Why didn't the PM say chinese then? Why did she have to warn English speakers?
>>5072433She’s trying to distract from the real issue. >wave of chinese fuckery>uhm, an english speaker did it once
>>5072440Nope. Tourism operators and Nara police also confirmed that English speakers are kicking deer. Read the article.And in your imagination, Japanese are mad at her remarks, but that isn't true at all.The opposition party is mad at her because they are afraid tourism will fall.
>>5072431no, its fucking drongos...again, they already had this problem with a drongo defiling graves
>There is an idea of a mammal. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real mammal. Only a pinniped. Something of blubber. And though we can hide our cold gaze, and you can shake our flippers and feel flesh gripping your hands, and maybe you can even sense our love of seafood is probably comparable, we simply are not there.

Zoos are unethical and are morally evil.We should have protected sanctuaries instead.
>>5067338Much like humans with too much convenience, they become depressed when out of their natural order
>>5067139The Colombus zoo is mostly rescue animals that can't exist in the wild anymore, and their descendants.

>>5067139While your argument is solid, the animals don't live that great in the wild and are exposed to all kinds of dangers

Monkey hate, snake hate, and even insect/spider hate is a sign of low IQ because it shows that you are unable to override your base instincts with rational thought.
>>5070763Yeah, she's using the second one improperly but the point she's trying to make is still comprehensible. The irony that she's referencing IQ while making such a simple error means that she's destined to get a verbal cunt punt over it, though. >>5070546I'm not scared of centipedes but I don't fuck with them. Nah, bruh. Nah.
>>5070784>sheCompulsive misgendering schizo has arrivedAdherence to formalities has little to do with IQ especially now that people can get through college while dodging all the traditional and useless liberal arts trash like "english". >>5070763You are an asperger. You lack abstract thought and parse grammar rather than meaning.
>>5070786>talks shit on liberal arts>uses the term "misgendering"The only Miss getting upset over gendering seems to be you, princess. Haven't you some cookies to bake or dollies to play with sweetheart? Rather than being a liberal little snowflake getting upset at being called what she is, I mean?
