>>5092160I have yet to hear a non-depressing childhood hamster story. I never owned one but my best friend did, and it somehow managed to escape and drown in their septic tank. Drowning in shit actually seems less disturbing than the vast majority of hamster stories that all seem to involve cannibalism in some way.

Are you fond of scarabs, /an/?
>>5092394calling stag beetles scarabs is technically correct but still kind of strangeif a dude advertised himself as a scarab dealer and his stock was nothing but stags, I would feel duped

>>5092403Indeed, but then necrozoophile hunters (like 15% of hunters, 80% if they are also furfags) would get infected and get outed when researchers try to put the puzzle together.After the massive cull deer will become better managed instead of being a sick show for hunters, because that's the only reason they didn't go extinct in the US, it is a fucking industry so psychopaths can feel the trill of killing. If deer have to go so be it. Better to be extinct than to exist to entertain killer apes.
>>5092610>humans BAD and they probably share my deer fetish i literally cant stop thinking about deer assearly societies were right to kill the mentally ill
>>5092612No Its more like SOME humans bad deer have no business being some fucked up ape toy. I agree that early societies were right to kill the mentally ill, since many hunters are mentally ill.

>Be dog owner>Let your dog bark constantly for hours to no end>Do nothingWhat's his endgame?
One of my good friends growing up lived in one of the worst trailer parks in the county. Every 3rd place had a dog barking nonstop chained up outside all hours of the day. Let's just say I heard that some of them had a final meal of sugarfree gum encased in a ball of raw ground meat
>>5092166A based end for a shitty dog

>Dinosaurs dominate terrestrial megafauna>Rapid climatic disruption occurs>They persist by contracting into an aerial niche as avian dinosaurs>Mammals later dominate terrestrial ecosystems>Climatic disruption occurs again>They persist by contracting into smaller, specialised niches such as bats and rodents>Cephalopods then undergo adaptive radiation, filling the vacant macroniches left by mammalsWhat would this look like, how long would it take, and how large or complex could they become?Mammals were unable to reach non-avian dinosaur scale due to lower atmospheric oxygen, denser skeletal structures, and the energetic cost of large, metabolically expensive brains. Cephalopods possess extremely high neuronal density and a distributed nervous system, with significant cognitive capacity relative to body size, as well as no bones, so would they struggle even more to reach larger sizes?
>>5091343Most likely so. But they'd be at war with crustaceans and insects.

>>5090902You should get 2-3 because one rat will suffer due to isolation. And please do the proper research before owning an animal since this is pretty basic rat knowledge. Most rat owners are women and women really appreciate when males take an interest in what they also like, so if you can find one who's also a rat owner it'll help be similar ground for you both to connect on.Women care a lot about how much thought you put into something, and they'll become disinterested and critical of you if you do not take that time. This is just a simple fact of how women operate.
>>5091274How does he pay?

>>5092360>whether it be watching stuff or reading or eating. Perhaps not fapping though.I wonder what kind of buns are into their owners like that...
>>5092360Understood. All things considered, I'm only really spending a little bit of time on the ground with them. I should spend more than just an hour or two, and instead opt to just do whatever tasks I can while sitting/laying on the ground. Funny thing is I was told by some youtuber that rabbits greet by touching each other's noses or like sniffing each other's faces for a split second, so I figured I'd lay on my stomach to see if that would do anything. Here's a video I recorded of Atom (he's usually more skittish and nervous). He walked directly up to me today and touched my nose with his (but not before nudging the camera lol). This gesture alone has really eased my nerves, and, in my eyes, solidified exactly what I need to do. Lay with them more than I already have been. Anyway, thanks for your advice. I may post more in future threads with updates on them, so stay tuned for that I suppose!

thoughts on the urban rescue ranch?>Noah if he were a zoomerfunny guy, I'll give him that. seems to treat the animals well.
>>5091863LMAO you are so triggered about a fact that suits you. Do you hear the voice of God inside your head too?
>>5091519I haven’t seen any of his vids since he went to start a second rescue in some Asian country which seemed insane to me given his comments about how the urban rescue ranch loses massive amounts of money. I think he’s irresponsible with some of the animals like the white dog that ran away and his reptile care made me cringe. Overall he seemed like he was doing good just needed to get his shit together and downsize instead of further expanding to even more animals.
>>5091519his heart is in the right place.
>>5091519>thoughts on the urban rescue ranch?>Good thoughts.I like him. I think he's funny, good at what he does, and it's comforting to see a younger person be competent, driven, and well read, and not a literal mouth-breathing retard. I wish him nothing but success. >Bad thoughts.I think his attitude towards "I'm sad, burned out, and three of my friends have died/killed themselves... The obvious answer is to work EVEN HARDER" is deeply unhealthy and I think is going to lead him towards a similar fate. He's expanding really fast, taking on way more responsibility, when he doesn't have the financial means, nor work force, to really accommodate those things. He's making the same mistake a lot of business owners make where they think if they don't maintain that insane level of momentum they needed to get their business off the ground that they'll fail, when in actuality Ben is at the point where he should be focusing on the fundamentals, getting entrenched, and establishing homeostasis with that he does.
