>I've been on other boards and seen people complaining about anons posting cats. It's head scratching because it's like do you know where you are? Caturday, ring a bell?
yeah, the individual you replied to is him. as i said he's in every cat thread posting novels crying about them. he also has meltdowns anytime you remind him it's a cat website and posting cat memes has been a thing long before he came here from reddit. his only retort is "uhhh it's a-askusally a d-dog website...". surprised he didn't say it here.

To explore this a little further, I don't think it's only about the season you're born is but also what you associate with each zodiac sign.
To stick with animals, when someone tells you that you literally are a lion or a scorpion, even if you don't believe in that stuff somwhere in the back of your mind that idea takes hold and gets culturally intepreted by your brain, so I think that we associate some chractar trais with these signs isn't as crazy as it might sound, even if there is a ton of bullshit sorounding it:

Most shrooms with a spongy hymenium are good to go with the inedible/poisonous ones being quite telling about such status, either by tasting incredibly bad or smelling of rotting meat.
And regarding the gilled ones, as a noob it's best to stick with store-bought champingons instead of gambling life, as even alleged pros can get things wrong and suffer from it with their whole family.

champignons always have dark gills, even when young, while all amanita family shrooms have pure white gills. anyone mixing the two is not a pro.

Actually they're brownish-pink at their youngest, but I won't digress much about this statement.
I always thought that anyone who mistook one for a destroying angel was either an utter novice or starting to loose their eyesight in order to make such a foolish mistake, that is until I discovered these paranoia inducers growing in droves at a local park.

Forbidden mushroom stew...

>>4898296
I'm with you. I know a thing or two, but I also know I'm a dumbass and that image in my head of "tasty food mushroom" next to "lethal poison" from the textbook might very well be inversed - it just isn't worth the risk. But also because:

>>4899173
>>4899362
General reminder that mushroom species differ from region to region and what is true for your local area is not necessarily true 100km away. In a Norwegian forest I'd be pretty alright collecting at least one type of edible mushroom, when I last tested myself on Polish mushrooms a poisonous one snuck into my selection.

I wish mushrooms weren't so tasty so that I didn't continually get tempted to eat them.

For real dawg. Jellyfish, moar liek smellyfish, amirite?

Yo! I found this little nigga lying on the road at midnight on my way home from work.

His friend didn't fly so good.

Is he dangerous? Can I feed him:
Sunflower seeds
Peanut butter
Canned chicken
Tuna

Because that's about all I got.

This nigga ain't noisy or fast moving but he likes to show his fangs.

If he gets noisy, I have some plausible deniability with the landlord since we have had a huge squirrel problem in the attic for months.

These little niggas right here. Fuck are they smart. I love observing them because of their intelligence. When I'm driving and I see them scavenging in the road, it's entertaining to watch as they casually hop across the double yellow or across the white line to sit on the shoulder of the road and wait for me to drive by so they continue doing what they were doing. The fact they adapted to understand how traffic works in remarkable, can we show some appreciation to the motherFUCKING CROW?

I had to put a crow or raven down a couple months ago and I'll always feel bad about it.
Not sure what happened to it but I found it in my yard unable to move everything but it's head. It was so aware it's crazy, the crow couldn't speak to me but it's eyes were saying a lot, it knew what was happening.
When I killed it the reaction was so human idk if I'll ever forget that day. It's clear to me that crows are much smarter than even most children

>probably as old as mammals itself.
probably even older than mammals. Baby crocodiles and alligators look cute and have cute voices.
But there are even some spiders and insects, like cockroaches, that care for their young, and they do have cute characteristics when they are young.
So the question should be more about why are youthful animals more rounded and with bigger eyes compared to their adult form?
Did the cuteness response evolve in reaction to babies being more rounded or did babies become more rounded in response to the cuteness detection?

Is anybody else worried about snails?

Fucking parasite vectors that just won't die.

>Molluscicides get banned
>Snail population booms
>Cows eat the parasite infested snails
>Spray their parasitic-cyst-laden shit on crops
>Everybody has liver flukes

Am I just tinfoiling hard right now? It's actually hard to detect a lot of parasites in cattle as their symptoms of infection are often sub clinical, and fecal testing is unreliable. Treatment is a whole other problem as it requires multiple deworming doses at specific times throughout the year.

Somebody please calm me down and tell me that there aren't cysts in everything.
