Didn't notice the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS change, and was instead desperately looking for the "had to do it to em" guy
I'm begging you to turn the sound on
Spring.
Spring.
Spring.
Spring.
Spring.
Everytime this crosses my dash my eyes light up because I know my favourite part is coming. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring.
A fawn curled up beside a fake deer which is used for target practice.
A lot of people are super upset by this, so here is a reminder from someone who has worked professionally with deer:
A fawn tucked down alone like this is almost never an orphan.
Fawns are extremely small, and their best defense is to stay hidden as often as possible. Unless they are nursing or moving to a new spot, tucking themselves down in grass or against bigger objects is their best defense.
What would be an easy giveaway to a lurking predator that there is a vulnerable baby nearby? A much larger, much more visible adult female deer!
To protect her baby, a female deer will avoid the baby most of the day (except to nurse it or move it), and she will keep an eye on the baby from a distance to make sure everything is alright.
If you approach a fawn (or god forbid pick it up and take it home), I’d bet money that 9.5 times out of 10, mama is alive and well, watching you from a distance, desperately hoping you’ll move on without hurting her baby.
It’s not orphaned, it’s not abandoned.
Working in wildlife, if there is one thing I could magically make the entire human population know, it would be this information.
Every summer, people show up at wildlife rehabbers, state park offices, ranger stations, and even deer farms, with allegedly orphaned fawns that they’ve “saved.”
Tragically, we pretty much have to destroy these animals every time.
Deer farms legally cannot take in wild deer because of the extremely dangerous risk of disease transmission to their livestock population (look up chronic wasting disease). Contact with a wild deer could doom their animals and their livelihoods.
I have worked on deer farms and in wildlife rehab.
Deer are extremely difficult to raise, rehabilitate, and release. Mostly, it’s impossible. Often, they simply refuse to eat from anything but their mother, and we have to decide between letting them waste away for three days or so, or euthanizing them.
Deer are also overpopulated in many states now, and we can’t afford the resources to raise them. There are species more in need of our assistance.
If you see a fawn all alone, unless it’s next to its dead parent, it’s not an orphan.
I am begging you to leave it be.
In this case, this fawn is almost certainly fine. It’s just hunkered down like it should be, waiting for Mama.
But it does make for a great photo!
i live near deer areas, so this good to know. spread the word.
“69” is now known as “96”.
Thanks to inflation the cost of eating out has gone way up.

Adam: “Tit”
God: “Uhh ok”
Adam: “Boobie”
God: “Stop naming them after breasts”
Adam: Looks at rooster
Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?
no way i must have missed an update!
The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal
You know what to do boys
If you're wet, theyre wet
Give them a snacc
I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up "anime cabbage" I found the source.
Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.
A complaint, apparently in a paper.
The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.
And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.
I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.
i love learning about other cultures' memes, especially like this
I was gonna draw something more serious but sometimes u just gotta draw memes

When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.
In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.
I dislike this.
Pillars and floats like that are pretty stable, compared to regular boats, so there’s even a research vessel, called FLIP, that purposefully capsizes itself to be more steady when conducting research.
YEA IT FUCKIN IS (id embedded in image)
why is this so canon though
Han: ugh, I’m going crazy, I’m so hungry! Luke: well I could make a grilled cheese? Han: no offense, kid, but I don’t think you know how to boil water. Luke: *offended scoff*
