>>5064926The fact is the "eyeliner look" is the natural state, humans just have to imitate it.
Uhm......
>Castrate your cat!What about the inevitable health issues that will plague it for the rest of his life?>Oh, no worries! Just bring him back to me!>Don't forget your checkbook!>We also take cash and credit cards and offer easy payment plans with low interest!You didn't fall for it, did you?
>>5065984>You also have to cat-proof your house, because your cat will tear into and eat anything it thinks it might be food, on account of constantly being hungry.you are retarded.we have a male cat who came to us neutered and he is extremely polite/well mannered. my mom also bred cats when i was younger and we had a lot of them both spayed/neutered and not. 0 of the neutered/spayed ones were voraciously ripping into every bag of food. several of the unneutered ones did spray/mark in the house though.
>>5065986>Let me guess, you don’t smell a thing?He pisses in his litterboxes, because cats like to bury their waste. Why would he piss anywhere else?
>>5064730This is why pet owners are subhumans.Carve out flesh and tissue for your own enjoyment from a living veing. Cuddle with a fucking pillow. As bad as circumcizers.
>>5065985>SorryDon't be sorry for cleaning up other people's messes.
>>5066100>magic box of pebbles perfectly absorbs all smells left by an animal that roams around the entire houselmao do you think when you cook food that the smell is limited to just the kitchen too?
Is it normal that I feel bad for neutering my cat. I feel like I betrayed his trust. He was big and beautiful and I feel like I should've let him be and let him get a kitty gf to start a family. He's still happy, big and healthy but still.
>>5065832As much as I would love my male cat making more cats like him as he is perfect I do not regret it. Male cats spray to mark their territory and unless you want to deal with that shit then it is best you did it. Now he does not need to worry about testicular cancer too.
>>5065832No idea. I didn't feel bad when the family cat got neutered. That MF started to piss everywhere as soon as he hit the age of 5 months old. If he wanted to keep his balls, he should have kept the piss to himself (or his litter box).Also, male felines don't have families. They just fuck, get multiple female cats pregnant and fuck off. Truly not worth causing more stray cats to live outdoors and more environmental damage
>>5065832Literally nobody cares but you vegan fed op.You've started a billion fucking threads about castrating cats that always end in you telling everyone to stop owning pets.
>>5065832>Is it normal that I feel badNot in the way you feel bad, snivelling about it, no.Adults think out these decisions beforehand, weigh the pros and cons, make a decision, then live with the consequences, which sometimes include regret.

Thoughts on the secretary Bird?
Why does nobody ever hype up the Golden Eagle while we hype up apex predator animals like the Tiger?>perfectly stealthy, top speeds can fly around as fast as a bullet, can see and detect prey miles with its telescopic vision and has reflexes while flying that can make it able to swiftly dodge through tons of small openings in impossibly dense forestry at over 100mph. >4 foot tall heavy af behemoth with razor sharp claws that are as big as the average human male dick size>literally hunts and carries away prey as big as wolves and mountain lions
How to teach a child (10 - 12) who abuses animals that it is a bad thing in a safe, convincing way?
>>5065828Native Americans shouldn't have children, eat meat or own pets.
>>5064825get him a nannydog
>>5064825>and kids are cruel>all people are by nature>they just lose touch with as they get older>start thinking they know right from wrong>thats immoral
>>5064825I have 2 kids. I have a dog and a guinea pig. I've teached my children to always approach the pets with calmness, respect and leave them alone is they don't want to interact. I also thought my dog to respect my children and act calm around them. The guinea pig is a naturally more reserved animal so no issues on that end.Never had a single issue as a parent with pets. My youngest literally shushes people who speak too loudly next to our guinea pig and my dog is incredibly protective of my children.You have to teach kids to respect the animal and make the animal understand they aren't above the children either. Make them understand they are supposed to be friends.If the child continues to misbehave and mistreat the pet even after multiple attempts of you trying to calmly shut the situation down, beat the shit out of that fucking brat and force his nigger ass to understand he's a piece of shit for abusing animals.
>>5066066You don't have children OP.
Call me a retard if you want, but I don’t understand why we couldn’t genetically engineer human-sized praying mantises with at least simian-like intelligence.Is it a lack of technology, willpower, funding, or all of the above?
>>5059527>>5059656I want an elephant-sized dog.
>>5059523Because biology says so, all insects absorb oxygen through the skin, now this process is very inefficient since the oxygen level is too low for any huge bugs.
>>5064585I want a dog-sized elephant
>>5059523Cool idea OP, We could teach one how to play a mean keyboard and have it make snark commentary to celebs on talk shows. Or they could just overthrow humanity and enslave us for use as a food source, so maybe not a good idea.
>>5064585Okay, but it has to be red.
Could a creature really evolve a penis as a combat weapon?And do Elephants actually do this.
>>5061435The serotine bat has a penis too big for penetration, they use it like an extra arm.Maybe someday it'll evolve to catch moths.
>>5061444Checked. Digits confirm reddit are sexually degenerate fags.
>>5061435having a prehensile penis would be kinda cool i guess>>5061790why is bedbugs doing traumatic insemination just a fact of life, but when I do it, I'm branded a heinous criminal?>>5065614stop making me want to fuck (cute/sexy anthropomorphized) bugs
>>5061790There a kind of cave flea where the female penetrates the male with some kind of ovipositor thing and drains the sperm from it but I forgot the name of the species. Researchers trying to seperate the two tore the male in half.
>>5065897>stop making me want to fuck (cute/sexy anthropomorphized) bugsNo.
Dolphins are far more intelligent and interesting than elephants are.
>>5066043they are capable of rape, so that proves they have free will
Intelligence doesn't make animals interesting.
>>5066045? Insects forcefully have sex with each other anon.>>5066051>Vegan feds value ticks just as much as they do dolphins...>>5066043Agreed. Talking about that. Is there a video anywhere of an elephant and dolphin interacting with each other? Seeing each other?That would be interesting.
>>5066055Vegans love intelligent animals. I value aesthetics
>>5066043I'd say it's about equal
>nooooo!!! you're not supposed to help the sea turtles reach the safety of the sea! you're supposed watch helplessly as they get devoured by sea birds!!like damn, why the fuck not? we need to increase sea turtle population because they eat jellyfish. what's the harm in that?
>>5064181semites
>nooo
>noooooo
If there are more adult turtles then there will be more baby turtles for things to eat.
>>5065066What was his response?
Do you think the human body will eventually evolve to a point where it no longer stores fat reserves, because most humans today can get a steady supply of food, and keeping fat doesn't help with anything other slowing your ass down and causing health problems?
How many generations of selective breeding would it take to "pug"ify a population of humans
>>5065111as many as separate red headed snub nosed ashkenazim from their middle eastern ancestors
>>5065111imagine SMASHing AND SLAMing humans
>>5063294no, you can escape death by creating a soft fatty cocoon around yourself
>>5065111Those traits will only take over if we find them attractive.
It's time to admit these are cooler than blue whales
Has anyone ever had sperm whale steaks?
I was disappointed to learn they only have teeth on their lower jaw.
>>5065981Yep, when you specialize in eating giant squid you eventually lose your teeth.Sperm whale need to return to their whale-eating roots in Livyatan.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livyatan
>>5064675Cetaceans in general deserve their fame. I suppose the spookiest aspect of sperm whales is how loud and focused their voices are. Greys are really something else, the maximum emotional intelligence combined with the minimum intellect that could go with that on any possible world. They remind me of how ridiculously rare this planet is.
>>5065047Even young ones--toddlers to you and me--are dangerously painfully loud up close. I suppose it takes rather a lot of amplitude to render a mile or so under. Which leads me to questions about their hearing. How would one go about testing that?
