ok. i had to look this up, because this seems just too ridiculous. and wiki does not disappoint: “…
the hognose snake will often roll onto its back and play dead with its mouth open and tongue lolling, going as far as to emit a foul musk from the cloaca.
Emission of cloacal musk is considerably less likely than in many other
species. If the snake is rolled upright while in this state, it will
often roll over again as if to insist that it is really dead.”
I want to point out this particular one is a baby. It’s still learning how LONG to play dead, that’s why it keeps waking up to check if it worked. It’s doing it’s best ok?
bethesda fucking over osbidian 8 years ago in the production of fallout new vegas with most underhanded and frankly pointless ways, resulting in obsidian’s loss of the fallout IP, bankruptcy, and general obscurity within industry
but then obisidian coincidentally popping back up in the midst of bethesda class-action lawsuits for illegal business practices coinciding with the most publicized awful game debut in 10 years with a new RPG IP that has all the themes and writing and care that bethesda’s been ignoring for 8 fucking years
Chanukah is a largely unimportant holiday that is as popular as it is because it sits next to Christmas most years. however, the holiday exists because the Jews of Israel (which was controlled by Greece at the time) did everything they could to resist assimilation. the important thing isn’t the oil or the menorah; it’s that the Greeks told the Jews that they were not allowed to worship their god, and the Jews refused.
when you call Chanukah “Jewish Christmas,” you go against why we have Chanukah in the first place. when you ask Jews if they still celebrate Christmas, while knowing that they are Jewish and observant, you go against why we have Chanukah in the first place. when you claim that Christmas is an American holiday, not a religious one, you go against why we have Chanukah in the first place. when you pity us for not celebrating Christmas, you go against why we have Chanukah in the first place.
Jews do not need Christianity or Christmas to be happy. Jews do not need to be assimilated to be happy. we don’t need your pity. we have our own way of doing things that works without yours.
This has nothing to do with anything but it’s the greatest headline I’ve ever seen
This article is amazing
I’d put my favourite quotes from the article up, but it’s the whole dang article.
“It’s just so shocking,” Claire Simeone, a veterinarian and monk seal
expert based in Hawaii, told The Washington Post on Thursday. “It’s an
animal that has another animal stuck up its nose.”
The “most plausible” theory, he said, is that monk
seal teenagers aren’t all that different from their human counterparts.
Monk seals “seem naturally attracted to getting into troublesome
situations,” Littnan said.
“It almost does feel
like one of those teenage trends that happen,” he said. “One juvenile
seal did this very stupid thing and now the others are trying to mimic
it.”
