the ripples in the water in the original Surgeon's Photograph are totally inconsistent with large waves, meaning the object must be very small and close to the camera.

The photo is called the surgeons photo as it was taken by a doctor Robert Kenneth Wilson

60 years later a guy comes forward and says it was a hoax and he was part of the hoax. Christopher Spurling claimed to be involved in the hoax, he says his stepdad Maramaduke Wetherell came up with the hoax.

In 1933 Maramaduke Wetherell had been hired by the Daily Mail to find the loch ness monster as he was a famous big game hunter. He had 'found' large footprints going in and out of the loch. The natural history museum in london concluded the footprints were fake and made with a taxidermied hippos foot, one of which Wetherell was known to own. This ruined Wetherell's reputation and he withdrew from public life.

Spurling claims Wetherell then wanted revenge on the daily mail. Spurling claims Wetherell had him carve the model to be put on the toy submarine. He then claims Wetherell had Wilson take the photo as him being a doctor would make him beyond suspicion.

Spurling offered no proof to back his claims

As >>5085892 said he may have lied for some reason, maybe he wanted his 5 mins of fame. Several people have come forward saying they wore the patty suit in the patterson-gimlin footage but none have offered proof.

I'm broke and I can't code, so I bullied an AI into building this website for me.

It's a calculator to mix different dog foods (dry/wet) without messing up the calories.

There are no ads, no tracking, and I'm not selling anything. I make literally $0 from this, it's just a project hosted on free tiers.

Give it a try. I need to know if it's actually useful for your dogs or if the AI hallucinated the math.

Do you know what the right math is supposed to be? Reading math in code is simple and no different to reading regular math, so you could check.

Not really sure why transpohobes and nazis think liking dinosaurs is a sign of autism. I am trans (mtf) and have autism but liking dinosaurs has nothing to do with having autism. Transphobia can come in all shapes and sizes. Also, science says dinosaurs had feathers.
>>
>>5082561
Most paleoartists now are told that dinosaurs are meant to be portrayed like real animals, and that real animals are being boring 90% of the time. And think that means that dinosaurs should be portrayed as being boring or else they're not being portrayed as animals. And then forget that they can make realistic behaviour that is also cool, and that animals can look threatening and aggressive (there's also the over correction of the blood thirsty monster dinosaur imaginary)

i like to meet with a guy from work down at the duck pond in the village where he lives every few weeks. we just sit there for a few hours, surrounded by all kinds of ducks and waterfowl. they're all used to human presence and some of them come begging for food, i always bring a little bread for them or share my pizza with them that i sometimes get nearby when i'm drunk. i fucking love ducks, they're awesome. i feed them from the hand and watch them for hours while shitposting drunk. great times.

Seems more like you're hung up on charcs being given lower estimates than Rex. Can't say I care either way, but I find no fault in the volumetric studies. T-rex were just wider and fatter, which is evident from its skeletal structure when compared to say, an Arcocanthosaurus.

If anything its elephants who can afford to be less optimized because they live in groups and there are zero natural threats against a fully grown elephant, they can make any african animal their bitch. Something like a triceratops or t-rex would live under far harsher competition.

If you’re willing to do saltwater, clownfish can live for 20+ years, clown gobies can live 7 to 12 years, filefish live 5 to 10+,and damsels can live 5 to 15, depending on species. If you want long living fish that can survive well in a smaller aquarium, salt is probably the way to go.

But you're mentally ill anon so your view is worth less according to yourself, why else would you sperg out over someone else being sick as if they chose to be? You can't even understand the moral difference between a condition like schizophrenia and deliberate bad action. Don't worry, it's not that uncommon to be an antisocial sperg on this board so you won't stand out all that much.

Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>5048770

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

It's literally just a pig but tiny. Allow it to be exported out of the country into the pet trade and the population will skyrocket.
