Yeah, dimetrodons and pterosaurs are not dinosaurs, and you are a lobe-finned fish.
For the average retard, dinosaur will always mean "extinct lizard-looking animal", your autistic screeching will never change that.

Instead of going "ackshually" you should go the "did you know" route if you want to educate people and not just complaining like a little bitch on a javanese tree bark engraving forum.

If I took every single ant on the planet - all 20 quadrillion of them - and dumped them in the middle of the pacific ocean, would any of them survive?

But that's so unrealistic. You could never take all 20 quadrillion ants on the planet and place them in the middle of the pacific ocean. It's just not possible. You couldn't do that.

Giant snakes like retic or burm can't thrive in temperate climates like a corn snake would. What if we breed them with carpet python? They can thrive in temperate/mediterranean climates as far as i know. Sounds like bullshit but i feel like this cross can actually have a place in the reptile hobby for people that wants a giant snake but can't house tropical species. What you think /an/?

>people that wants a giant snake but can't house tropical species
who would this be? If you have the means to house a giant snake you probably also have the means to keep it warm

A South African rock python probably could. It gets pretty cold where they are

>Giant snakes like retic or burm can't thrive in temperate climates like a corn snake would
It's because little snakes can burrow below the frost line during the winter. Wtf is a giant snake supposed to do.
Also those mediterranean climates don't get cold enough for those snakes to properly hibernate.

I had a big fat pleco, about 4-5 inches long, who I almost never saw because he spent his 17 year life entirely inside this tiny little decorative castle prop I bought for the tank. Even after he went blind he could tell when the lights were out and would only come out then, and he was convinced no one was in the room. I'd go years without seeing a glimpse of him, wondering if he was still alive. When I saw him swimming around in full light a year ago I knew the end must be near, and sure enough he was belly up the next day.

RIP to the dragon in the castle.

I know of step one and two, though I've never encountered step three. In my experience cats are very good at judging what they can get through unless they're morbidly obese.

I sometimes put out stale bread/pretzels/etc. for the birds and the squirrels to eat on the rails of our back deck. We have a creek that runs through our property close to the deck so water for them is not an issue. I noticed today that there were two wasps doing something on the pretzel pieces. Are they actually eating the pretzel, licking on the salt, or what? I have never seen this before today. First a yellow, then a red wasp. Any ideas?

Probably just licking, they can't bite that. And as for "why" who the fuck knows, animals do lots of weird stuff.

It’s prolly after salt.

Depending on the pretzel, it probably wants sugar.

being a slave to instinct != wanting something. see this is exactly the type of double digit IQ anthropomorphization that the anti-neutering crowd loves to indulge in. it's a fucking cat. it does not have hopes and dreams. it does not want a nice house and nice lawn with a white picket fence and 2.1 kitties.

The bastards spawned in my trashcan, so I poured hydrochloric acid all over the insides to kill all the eggs and larva before disposing off all organic matter in the place so they'd starve to death. It's been a few weeks, they're all dead. For any sufferers, would recommend this method.

Natural disasters don't exist as a planetary balance or have some evolutionary reason behind it. They're just the product of extreme reactions.

Like, a planet doesn't develop its core in a certain way to house magma that will cause volcanoes and produce land. The planet itself is not trying to "stay alive" or "repopulate" like a tree or bacteria is. A planet doesn't even care if it can house life at all.
>>
>>4845235
Extreme spider and wind adapted seed spreading events. Carrion for carnivores and scavengers. Especially aerial ones who already take advantage of disaster kills like various raptors with wildfires.
