Why do cat people so fervently defend letting cats roam? Are the parasites controlling you to make you spread their “gifts”?

What is /an/'s favourite nature documentary? For me it's Attenborough's "The Life of X" collection. I've rewatched it recently, and the thing I like about it the most is that it puts more emphasis on life's diversity and how various creatures are adapted to their environment, rather then to try to show a story or a pretty picture, which is what most documentaries do.

Nature documentaries are all entertainment. They're all are anti-educational.
>>
>>5108142
Essentially. There's just never enough depth. I'd almost rather they just narrate a Wikipedia article with footage of the related behaviors, lifestages, relative species, ect. Then after 20 or 30 or so minutes it takes to get through that call it an episode and move on. Don't try to fill it out with boring shots reciting poetry about the vastness of nature or some shit.

>>5098398
Wasps, to my knowledge, don't produce honey. What I wanna know is why we've not bothered with domestication of stingless bees. Are they less productive? They make really bizarre looking hives and combs.
>>5107050
They don't know that. They're not intelligent enough to know that. And veganism should absolutely include honey considering that 70-80% of crops are produced through the use of apiculture. Farmers rent bees from beekeepers if they don't maintain their own apiary themselves.

This is relevant to my interests. Explain.

What are you currently reading? is it good?

Ask for and give /an/ book recs.

I just started pic rel and I'm really enjoying it so far, it's informative but is light enough that it doesn't feel lke a slog to read.

Someone on this board recommended this book a couple years ago. I just want to sincerely say fuck you! This is the stupidest shit I ever read, the author is an egotistical shortsighted moron who likely got off on the fact he spent so much time rolling around in his own shit. A stupid concept, poorly executed.

> why aren't they more popular?
Because they are still pretty obscure and no complete skeletons have been found yet. You need a reasonable complete specimen and to prominently display a good restoration somewhere to really capture the public, unless the known features of the dinosaur are fucking weird. Also Gondwanan shit is naturally disadvantaged for popularity.

They will never be popular because the biggest one is named "Maip"

I'm a Lutheran like the Lord intended, but I don't think He minds that I lift a little philosophy and spirituality from Zen as long as I don't treat it as a religion.
It's healthy to be calm inside.
