You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.
For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:
Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning
Don’t fuck with flamingos
….. Didn’t know most of that
Huh… so that’s why zoos don’t put them somewhere warm during winter.
Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.
American flamingos just drink that shit
(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.
When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.
It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:
Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.
when you are done with a tab you can close it. every browser in the world has a feature that lets you open recently closed tabs. also there is browsing history. need to visit a webpage often? may i introduce you to the bookmarks feature. there’s no reason to leave your tabs open. hoarder behavior.
A lot of the people on this post have too many damn tabs open but you are actually fucking deranged. You’ve gotta look in the mirror and ask yourself why you have 2000+ tabs of fucking fanfiction open. Not to mention you talk like a superwholock blogger from 2013
No, in fact Wind Waker is specifically called out as being in the past
of BOTW because there’s rock salt everywhere that refers to “the ancient sea”, and since you can find that rock salt all over the map, that sea used to span all of Hyrule, which means it’s almost definitely the Great Sea from Wind Waker which I guess just dried up at some point
Canonically, BotW is at the end of the series. “But doesn’t the timeline split in Ocarina of Time?” Yes. BotW is the canonical endpoint of each branching timeline.
So at some point, all the branches just converge? Can’t wait to see how they explain that…
I can! if hyrule warriors is considered, reckless time travel being fixed with time magic to prevent any branching will leave scars on the timeline which other branches can bleed through. oracle of ages has reckless time travel with time magic fixing it so no branches spawn from it and later on in its branch, the alternate universe of lorule bleeds through its scars. so since the timeline is hella fucked across all three branches, they kind of bleed into a single timeline once more because varen was a bitch and cia couldnt keep it in her pants.
