    also btw i read somewhere that Musth (the manic episode) can be shortened down to approximately 2 weeks when the elephants are restrained (with a metal chain) and practically starved a bit (given very little food) for a while. (they survive ofc)

    Well because of how “evolution” - it makes you produce more babies than the others that didn’t fuck and kill. So… That.

    The rhinoceros beetle says “check this slab of HOT bug SEX sitting before you upon a stick. My stick. No one else may perch upon my throne, my lair, my kingdom, lest they be smote upon the ground like so much errant detritus. I am a fucking god.” Sex appeal is weird across the animal kingdom.

      Just want to point how weird it is that Spock’s wife is so patient, understanding, and loving in SNW when she’s such an evil conniving bitch in TOS and that’s only a few years later. I’m assuming we’re going to see spock do something awful to her.

        In Star Trek vulcans are extremely calm most of the time, but then occasionally go through a time period when they become crazy violent mega-hornballs

    Musth is a periodic condition in male elephants characterized by aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.

    The image from the OOP is in the article. TL;DR, male elephants get crazy angry when they’re horny you assert their dominance.

          Do you have to pay rent to think about something?

          That sounds expensive. Unless, of course, you’re more comfortable not holding into any thought. 🤣

          He was doing really well before he met Trump in the white house for the first time. He was still an idiot, and apparently a Nazi, but he was very quiet about being a Nazi, and he was good at getting people excited for electric cars and space travel

            i get that he was good at getting people excited for electric cars and space travel, but that’s no excuse to slashing social safety nets. and that’s definitely what he intended to do when given the chance. it was only due to public backlash that it was stopped. sociopathic behavior.

            I think the keyword filters are just for posts, at least for the client I’m using (Thunder). However I would love if comment filtering was a thing.

    If we hadn’t already nuked ourselves by slaughtering the bees, and the bees suddenly took 80 % of our living space from us to expand their own, we’d be nuking them.
