Apparently, humans saw nothing wrong about feeding cow brains to cows, until SHTF, that is. What kind of retarded world is this, anyway?

We didn't connect any of the dots because prions were completely unknown. The very concept of a disease causing agent that wasn't a virus or bacteria went against germ theory, the foundation of modern medicine. Claiming prions could exist prior to their discover would be on par with talking about fake moon landings, evolution being fake, or homeopathy.

Hyper min maxxed factory farming has many horrors beyond comprehension. When a sow gives birth to still born piglets the workers will use a blender to make piglet smoothie and force feed it back to the mom. It's insanely horrible.

It was cheap meat and nobody uncerstood what Prions were.
Also mad cow disease had never been recorded before we started feeding cows food made out of other cows in the mid 20th century.

Like how can we be able to live in propper peace with animals and the natural world? How can we build a future where conservation and human life can go together in harmony? How can we restore and maintain the natural balance of the world?

Why are humans so fascinated by lions, if they’re objectively dumb, brutal, treacherous animals?

Male lions kill all cubs that aren’t there after taking over a pride, most male lions die without objective to other male lions, females readily betray their families for stronger males too. They have little to no bonds or loyalty snd only care about sex and food.

A Jar Frog will be a hybrid between a Black Spiny-chest Frog and a Rosy Ground Frog. Called that because it would be easy to raise the larvae in jars of water.

I'm supposed to believe nobody ever dug up a large dinosaur bone and displayed it? People thought giants existed forever, so finding a bone you assume to be from a giant would be an amazing discovery and holy artifact. None? Nobody ever found one until 1699?
>check Wikipedia
>pre scientific study
>someone wrote about a big bone in China 1700 years ago, but it was not a dinosaur bone

Something people would be looking for forever and would be seen as a religious artifact was never ever mentioned by anyone, except a chinaman 1700 years ago and a guy in 1699?

Seems like a giant scam to me. Plus the vast majority of display pieces are fake. The actual fossils look like worn rocks, and the rest is extrapolated by "scientists." They even make reproductions where the bones are half cast in plaster, so it looks like real bones they found in a rock. What an insane way to mislead audiences. Making shit up and lying to the public is not science.

First of all the entire dating of the dynastic system for Egypt is total fanfiction. Most people have no idea how totally nonsensical and made up egyptology is. The truth is almost anything before the hellenistic period may as well be aliens. Not to mention the fact that anything that doesn't comport with the jewish worldview of the egyptian muslim government will be actively destroyed or covered up.
>>
>>5154445
You know a year ago if you would have asked me, I would have thought that scientists refusing to study fossils in private collections was stupid. I didn't understand the hate for the Black Hills "institute".

Now I think the Lokiceratops holotype needs to be smashed with hammers by terrorists.

2 months ago or so, cicadas would sing pretty much all fucking day en masse to the point of your ears ringing. now, they're quiet again, but every once in a while i hear a singular cicada sing for just a little bit in the distance. whenever that lone cicada sounds off, i just can't help but wonder if the little shit overslept and missed the big cicada sex party, and is now wondering why no one's responding to his screams

For me, that's the doves cooing in the setting sun. I can still vividly remember how half the street was in shadow and the other half was painted orange, the tall pine trees making a canvas for the light and darkness. Nothing but the sound of doves and the almost palpable stillness of the moment that I thought would last forever.
