>get criticized for giving my dog kibble instead of a raw diet>their dog is overweight>they spend $600 per month on dog food>they spend hours per week preparing their food>they rarely wash their dog's bowls
>>5124381I am getting surgery next week to turn into a dog. I sure hope OP adopts me so I get to eat the grain-based dry kibble bits he feeds me and die at the ripe old age of 7 from intestinal complications!
Look I love my dogs but I'm also not lavishing on them like they're my wife. The marginal gain in life brought on by feeding them raw meat is incredibly negligible.
>>5124381OP, I feed my cats Royal Canin. They used to be taken care of a foster family and holy shit, OP. When they were first given to me their fur was so rough, and they smelled strongly of cigarettes. Once I got them home and on Royal Canin their fur was so smooth and glossy. People will complain about anything. I think a high quality kibble is just fine.
Which diet produces the least noxious shits?
>>5124933Breatharian
Why are dogs such pussies?
>>5120835isn't that cat too expensive to have next to an aggressive rotweener?
>>5121852>human?? do something????
>>5123105>a 35-60 pound husky...do huskies weigh that little? I expected them to be about 100 pounds.
>>5124927Big (or at least fat) malamutes can get that heavy, but huskies aren't big guys (for you).
>>5120973All dogs evolved from wolves retard
You HAVE to choose a cryptid (does not have to be in the picture), and you have to give an educated explanation considering all current environmental factors as to how they could possibly exist.Then choose a cryptid and explain how it would be impossible for it to exist.This is more of an exercise of your knowledge regarding ecosystems and biology rather than a topic about proving or disapproving the existence of cryptids.
>>5124846They can exist if god lets them
>>5124846Jersey Devil isn't a cryptid, it's a specific cursed person.
>>5124853People are vertebrates
Jackalope exists. It's just a rabbit with that virus that makes it grow "horns".Dahu do not exist. It's just a misidentified ibex.>>5124846You're thinking squid.>>5124853Leave Snookie alone.

>>5123120why would they be
>>5124814their balls are massive
>>5124798>they live less than 3 yearsin the wild, they're lucky if they even get one
>>5123120A lot of them succumb to all manner of cancers. The older they are, the higher the odds. And they don't live long.

>>5124727A plant made of air?
>>5124426As long as you aren't chopping down redwoods for marijuana farms like they do in California why not. There is plenty of public land that just sits there and nobody actually takes care of. Better if it's you planting herbs rather than a homeless shitting up the place.
>>5124771all plants are made of air if you think about it
>>5124900Indeed
>>5124465I put some chicken wire around a couple tomato cages to protect the sunflowers. Fortunately i planted them pretty close together.
Post and discuss livestock.
>>5123514Cute piggies. Are you doing most of the work or do you have help from your family?
>>5123629I do almost all of the work with a little help from gf and her dad who has ranching experience. Gf does most of the egg washing/sorting. With all the pigs and chickens we go through like 400-500lbs of feed per day, and I move most of it in 5 gallons buckets and a wheel barrow lol. Good exercise.
hens are the coolest animals ever
Sometimes you see a lot of pigs at once, but most of the time you dont. It's a strange phenomenon.>>5123752I like hens, but walking through a sea of hundreds of them carrying feed buckets gets annoying. I always feel bad because I step on their toes.
>>5110730Wow, do maple pigs taste different? And can you breed 2 maple pigs to make more maple pigs
I just learned about the 'Beast of Gevudan" last night and I was wondering what /an/'s opinions are of what it could have been?Yes, it was real.>"Between 1764 and 1767, a mysterious creature known as the Beast of Gévaudan terrorized southern France, killing over 100 people and injuring many more, causing widespread panic and a royal hunt led by King Louis XV. Eyewitnesses described a massive, calf-sized wolf-like creature with red fur, dark stripes, and a long tail, often viewed as a werewolf or exotic animal."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_G%C3%A9vaudan
>>5116977That movie was pure shit.I hated it. Had my girlfriend watch it a few months ago because ahe'd never seen it before.She hated it too.At least I warned it was shit.The acting is terrible.The plotline is shit.The movie is basically an excuse for exhibitionistic Hollywood whores to violate us with their disgusting nudity.May as well have been a retarded porn.
>>5119358Could have been a beardog.
>>5119627This is possible.
>>5123474could've also been a dogbear
IMO: It was a serial killer carrying out the attacks. Bodies were found and superstitious stories started being spread around until it became a legend.

>>5124891I had CO2 running in this tank for a few months when I started and the hairgrass still didn't want to spread AT ALL. I definitely got growth elsewhere, but those fuckers refuse. I cut it off because it just seemed unnecessary. I still have the whole setup with CO2 ready to go, literally could just turn a dial.I'll give the new lights a few weeks and then pop it back on and see.I'm gonna have to rip out these swords and replace them with some smaller plants though. It's my first tank and first time with plants so I had no concept of how fast and big things grow. I think i'd just go crypts and anubias in the future, moss also didn't do well in here. Those printed grates in the back right were FULL of christmas moss and java moss and literally all wilted to dust.With the better lights i'd like to also get ahold of some buce and red lotus and try more bushy thingsidk yetbut the amazon sword has won the game and will be rehomed to some pond keepers
>>5124775You posted it 4 times and still no picture from you. Unless you posted it later on lol. As for pic, it's 36w hygger shining through about 4-5 inches of water wisteria and duckweed in a 40g. Yes I over feed. Yes everything is overgrown. The shrimp and snails take care of it.
BTW I objectively know that a more expensive light shines better. My point was that there's a lot of other things you can do to make the tank look better and lighting is down the list. This is the difference it makes when I turn the light on in the next room. Noticeably dimmer. With room lights on there be little to no visible difference between a mid line and expensive light. The only real difference is PAR output.

New behind the scene footage releasedhttps://x.com/raftingzalmoxes/status/2053390744849875378
>>5122852isn't bottom right just an elephant?
For anyone wondering, the episodes are all stand-alone and aren't in chronological order. So far the episodes will focus on the following:>First episode will be the Great Dying>Second is the Carnian Pluvial event>Third is the K-PG extinction>Fourth will be the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event>Fifth will be about the Carboniferous>Sixth will be the end of the Late Ordovician>Seventh hasn't been elaborated but title suggests the formation of Pangaea>Last two will most likely be the Pliocene/Pleistocene/Holocene focused episodes.
WTF 4chan and Reddit that elephants were cuddly and gentle and altruistic?!?!?!Explain this:https://youtu.be/bfrTxLiMgI0?si=qmeGJnPiT_Bfotcq&t=1055

Post birds, appreciate birds
These are crows, right? Not ravens? I can never tell the difference.
>>5124849Ravens are much bigger, the beak proportionally takes up more of the face, and crows lack the sort of bearded look ravens have.
>>5124859Yeah but I never see a crow and a raven next to each other...

>>5123864>Erin JanusDidn’t she go back to eating meat?
>>5123864>factory farms bad so dont buy from normal farms, give up eating to virtue signal insteadi think at some level they fear the more interpersonal relationship and need for planning, storage, and preservation that comes with buying from a farmer so they sink into veganism cope to avoid doing work or talking to someone who isn’t a fellow ivory tower "brahmin">ew, a lower caste>work? do what? not eat whatever i want fresh? PLAN out my food stores? hey im not one of the dumb dirty people who live like that. id rather just not eat meat. Truly the aryan man has not changed since he left india. He only got better at using toilets.

Why are lions considered kings of beasts when a tiger would fuck a lion up?
>>5124649people's champion
>>5124134Lol. There are a number of videos of lions and tigers fighting and the tiger wins every time. Also, tigers don't strangle. They break the necks of prey with their bites.
>>5124588Hey i'm not complaining just wondering
>>5124588Also that second part is so bizarre. You would expect indians to hate an animal that kills them in the hundreds every year. Then again they have a strange obsession with things that can crush them to death so maybe it has something to do with that
I'm just thankful its a Lion world or you would be and speak indian or chinese
