cia glownigger datamining thread
Ill be brief.. this is a call to action for my fellow sluthers and justice seekers. I have avoided making this request as i consider it the NUCLEAR option but a great injustice of tyranny and government overreach is currently at play in BC, Canada to an innocent family and their almost 400 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farm.These birds are healthy and some almost 30 years old and have been family raised for decades. The Canadian Governmant, specifically the CFIA, has decided all these birds must die because 1 bird died last year of avian flu. The rest of the flock is healthy and its likely they have herd immunity to this virus. However , Canada signed some fawked up agreement with the WHO in March of this year that's says if 1 animal tests positive all animals on that farm must be killed. These are healthy birds, the CFIA along with over 60 RCMP members arrested the mother and daughter who owns the farm and birds then took over the farm.and birds. They will not allow any testing and if any is done its a 200k fine and 6 months in jail for each test done. They have build a large kill pen with 5ft high hay bales, they cut the wires to all the security cameras on the farm and put a no fly area over the area. There is currently a stay from the Supreme Court putting a pause on the actual killing but the CFIA have continued to prep for the eventual mass killing for 400 healthy, innocent birds. Let's to everything can to support this family and fight back against the obvious tyranny of the Canadian Government. We have a facebook group to connect with all the supporters its "Universal Ostrich Farms" with about 66k members. If you have any ideas or unique skill sets and perhaps down for some lulu let's find a way to reverse this injustice. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Birds animals and even humans are all dispensable with the right motivation and fascist leaders.
>>5057182>animal tests positive>healthy birdsPick one
Just because those birds have herd immunity does not mean they can not infect other birds, or other animals, including humans.
why do libertarians love spreading disease so much? Did they get it from their well poisoning ideological ancestors?
So if you tested positive for covid you can never be healthy or immune to it ? LulzSo many idiotic and uneducated people the world is doomed.. it's never been easier to lookup facts and proven science but people are just too damn lazy and type what ever comes to their tiny narrow little minds regardless of how stupid or moronic it is and pretend its some sort of truth. First the rights of farmers and their live stock, next maybe (we can hope) the thoughless morons who skate by on our tax dollars to be keyboard warriors in mamas basement

anons i need help i need to know how old this kitten is and what she is supposed to eat
>>5057669Bring it to the vet. Immediately.
>>5057669It’s supposed to eat cat food ya doofusAlso take it to the vet, it’s eye looks infected
pizza and donuts and stuff
>>5057706it's blind in one eye, that'll be $1200
>>5057710>>5057706Wouldnt doubt there's probably some intestinal parasites too. eye drops and/or some ointment and an antibiotic course will do wonders for the eye, standard antiparasitics depending on what exactly he's got (guessing tapewoms and coccidia since that's usually it). bring a stool sample with you, you'll want to collect it as close to the appointment as possible, if it dries out it's no good.But seriously though, go to a pet store and there's probably going to be a significant portion of at least one aisle entirely devoted to kitten food and treats. wet is better than kibble, kibble is better than nothing, make sure he's got plenty of fresh water.
Who are the horniest animals?
>>5057621Absolutely Weinmar
>>5057621Deer have big horns
Rhinoceros.
>>5057621Watusi
>>5057621bonobos are probably the objectively correct answer
You know you've made it in the animal kingdom when you have other species copy how you look just to fend off predators.
>>5055367>Like that snake with a fake spider appendage on the tip of its tail used to bait birds. It obviously started without it, and it survived for a million or so years while evolving it, so what is even the point of it?Caudal luring is common in snakes, especially vipers. It would’ve started like the tail of any other snake that uses caudal luring. The fake spider is just a lump of flesh and a few extra long scales, it’s not that complex a structure>What if, halfway through evolving it, spiders somehow went extinct?Any event catastrophic enough to make spiders extinct would definitely make snakes extinct. But even if it didn’t then not much would happen, the fake lure would just stop being selected for
>>5055491It all comes down to a "first step" problem.For example, white animal evolves to be black because of soot. This is understandable: either it's a neutral change that won't be eliminated, or even a partial color change to be light-gray helps with stealth.For mimicry it's different, partial change is harmful. It wouldn't look anything like a target, and it would attract unneeded attention.
>>5055367>>5056483You're assuming a lot of sophistication for a glorified cat toy.>It obviously started without it, and it survived for a million or so years while evolving it, so what is even the point of it?It probably started with the ancestor of the snake merely developing a tic of wriggling the tip of its worm-like tail. Most birds are curious/greedy/stupid and will come peck at any prey-sized thing. After that, skin sheddings leaving excrescences on the tail or whatever turned out to be even better at attracting birds, or at attracting birds more common in its current environment.>What if, halfway through evolving it, spiders somehow went extinct?Spiders and other legged land-dwelling arthropods have existed for what, half a billion years at this point? You might rather ask "what if birds somehow went extinct"And the answer is the same as for any other species hyperspecialized to a small niche: the snake would die out as an evolutionary dead-end. This happens constantly because evolution has no long-term vision.
>>5056483>For mimicry it's different, partial change is harmfulNot really>It wouldn't look anything like a target, and it would attract unneeded attentionThe entire point is to attract attention. It would just make the caudal lure a slightly larger target
>>5049394Works in reverse too. I've shooed away sweat bees and hoverflies only for them to turn out to be yellowjackets.
Post your fish.
I don't have any fische. My dad had aquarium when I was a kid, always liked these fuckers.

WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T WE DOMESTICATED THEM YET???
>>5057592You don't have to domesticate any birds. You just raise them in captivity and they're just like that. Doesn't matter what it is Cassowary, eagle, vulture they just turn out personable.

"don't talk to me or my daughter ever again" editionFound a juvenile widow in my charcoal chimney. She's still got the gold stripe down her back. I'll have to get her set up with a bigger enclosure soon but I think she's okay in the sling box for now. Also think the middle widow is working on some eggs, it's been a week or so since she ate and she's still looking thicc.
How big is your enclosure for hissing cockroaches? I was planning on getting a couple, just to keep not to raise a colony, but the guides I read range from 5 gal too 20 gal, I assume 20 gal is only if you plan to breed a colony right?
>>5052645Jfc that is the cutest spider I have ever seen. She’s one tiny top hat away from cartoon status.
8-bit caterpillar
>>5057153I'm excited to see what she looks like after she molts. She started on Oct 5th and has been resting ever since.
My 10+ year old G pulchra molted recently, she's getting pretty big.

>>5055446I guess, though even if if is, it's definitely on the lighter side, compared to something like say Alien Biospheres which works from a starting point onwards and then sees where it ends uptoo much magic to explain away issues in Kaimere even if it doesn't quite work like traditional magic, and again it is focused around reaching a certain point in time
>>5055410he's admitted several times that he views it just as a setting for his dnd campaign and fantasy novels.
I have this vague notion bouncing around my head of lifeforms that are made out of plasma, constructed from patterns in the oscillations and fields in a plasma, rather than chemistry. They could have evolved in stars, but I'm imagining them as appearing in the early universe, when all of space was filled with plasma. If they evolved to sapience they could construct arcs to survive in during the period between recombination, when the temperature of the universe lowered to the point all the plasma went away, and the birth of the first stars, which they could then move into. This early period of the universe only lasted 370,000 years, which normally wouldn't be long enough to evolve sapience, but this is high-energy plasma we're talking about, with particles moving and interacting very quickly. I could imagine the fundamental processes underpinning their life happening so quickly, that they undergo a full generation in a matter of seconds, which would allow enough generations to pass in 370k years for them to reach sapience.
>>5056082incredibly implausible, obviously, but highly kino. I've had somewhat similar musings about emergent generalized intelligence appearing in the conductive rock structures of a planet powered by the lightning storms of its atmosphere, as by technicality something like that could exist, but it would be insanely unlikely and we would hardly be able to notice anyway unless it somehow obtained a method of interfering with the outside world at a sufficient rate.
>>5056179People talk about mycelium networks as being like neurons, and if one of those became intelligent, it could interact with the world by strategically throttling nutrient flow through the plants it exists around, inducing certain evolved behaviors in them. It could even selectively breed them into more useful appendages using that same nutrient flow mechanism. Some plants are able to replicate ant pheromones to make ants do certain things for them, so the mycelium may be able to take advantage of that to turn ants into tools for it to use.
