Horses love OBSERVING things. I wonder sometimes why they like looming and looking at things so much.
>>
>>5101548
It's always fun back home, you look out the kitchen windows at the horses in the stables and they are just curiously looking back at us, following as you move from window to window. Feels a little closer to the family, rather than having them put away in another closed building by themselves.

I caught 3 mice but there's one holdout that's too clever or cautious for the ethical trap. Tiny bits of droppings near the trap vent tells me it's definitely checking out the peanut butter bait, but unlike its friends this one doesn't enter the trap. How do I catch this one without killing it, or should I just put a glue trap outside the no-kill trap vents?
>>
>>5101430
Use a roller trap lot less messy than glue traps.

>>5101430
Use chocolate with your peanut butter.
I tried peanut butter, cheese, and a couple other things to get mine, but chocolate ultimately got him. Rodents can handle a bit of chocolate, so it won't make him sick.

If you have an obligate live food eater like a pea puffer or some loaches, you have two options:
>devote literally just as much space to growing live food as the fish itself
>buy it

I do the former. Many people opt for the latter. One pea puffer can eat 20 bladder snails a week.

>>5101410
My red root floater and azollas are my food source for my bladder snails. I just throw it on a tray to dry and crumble it into the buckets. I pull almost a half gallon off my goldfish tank every week.

so there is this mutt dog behind a fence in a village in the middle of nowhere and he likes to play with me when i pass by but i never see the owner, like never ever
is it ok for me to give it a beef stick dog treat or something like that spec for dogs? or he will die and explode like chatgpt told me?

>>5100088
Try a beef stick yourself. If you don't explode, you know you picked the good, non-explosive kind. If you explode though... Well, at least the dog didn't!

Keep in mind that nuclear weapons would be useless against them and since they possess human-level intelligence, they will quickly figure out how to sabotage drones, take down power lines/grids, organize well-coordinated attacks, etc.

How come not a single one of these motherfuckers survived the meteor? Were there no small ones by the late cretaceous? There were but they got mogged by birds in the aftermath? None of them occupied niches conductive to surviving?
>>
>>5101465
Best theory I've seen regarding that is the idea birds had burrowing species in their ranks and pterosaurs didn't.
>>
>>5101465

Bad luck I guess. Most birds were also obliterated by the KT event. It doesn't help that the initial stages of the asteroid impact had falling molten rock rain, which would take out most flyers

What's the best big breed to fucking a shitbull when it charges at you? Sorry for making for the 10320134'8453457908579065 pitbull thread but after witnessing more than once these faggots (and a bull terrier too) killing smaller dogs and biting humans who dares to break the fights.
Also
>walking with friends
>3 or 4 ghetto trash with a shitbull (very similar to pic related) standing near a sidewalk wall.
>we almost passed them and I stopped there for a moment.
>i swear the only thing i moved was my goddman hand (i didn't move my arms at all).
>shitbull lungs at me for that tiny hand movement in full schizoid mode.
>shitbull doesn't even have a muzzle.
>"owner" grabs the other end of the leash to stop it just in time.
>"owner" starts lashing out on me and kept yelling I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!!!
I know i shouldn't trying to pet other people's shitty dogs but seriously what the fuck was that?! imagine if there was a child instead of me in that situation and the retard owner couldn't stop his dog in time.
He's very very luck I never saw him and his shitbull again after that all that horseshit. It would have been really nice to break their teeth with my brass knuckles. On more thing, i didn't realized what dog it was at first because it was evening and said "dog" was all black (still like pic related) so i didn't realize until the last moment

Those are basically just English Bulldogs with a little bit of admixture here and there with cropped ears , they're barely even American Bullies anymore either, they're essentially a breed unto themselves, but the APBT admixture is probably less than 5% at this point

Probably A, but just dropping it as low as I can. Cat would have the best chance of instinctively righting itself for a optimum landing as they are known to do.
