What happens if tarantula no longger need the frog?

great news! that just straight-up doesn't happen.

tarantulas can live for well over a decade, and female tarantulas can expect to breed multiple times before they finally kick it! and since there's always the expectation of there going to be a new clutch of eggs in the nest every year, there's no benefit in getting rid of the frogs that will keep those eggs safe.

a female columbian lesserblack tarantula will treasure and protect her frogs until the day she dies, and then those frogs will go into the care of whichever of her daughters inherits her burrow! it's an eternal cycle. a cycle of frog.

if the satanic panic was happening now a lot of you guys would be like “DNI if you don’t believe survivors of satanic ritual abuse at daycare”

have already been accused of being a fascist for making this post

I dare you to explain what "satanic panic" is supposed to symbolize here. Did you refrain from saying "red scare" or especially "war of drugs" cause you knew if you said that people would stop for a minute and consider before rebloging this nonsense post mindlessly? Or is this about survivor of violence or rape? Or just what tf is this about?

have you considered googling “satanic panic.” sometimes if you look up words you don’t know you can find out what they mean

Ok, so something I've noticed that is utterly baffling to me is that all the Americans I know primarily dry their clothes using a machine called a dryer. I don't even own a dryer. So, I need to know:

well, in florida specifically, the air makes clothes wetter, not drier :') but in the wider US?

  • HOAs often put restrictions on clotheslines as 'eyesores'
  • that has given clotheslines a lower-class association
  • americans are generally WILDLY paranoid about theft
  • apartments don't always have space

but, imo, the least-discussed reason is:

  • there's so many fucking cars everywhere, always, at all hours of the day, often at high speeds, and car exhaust/tires kicking up dust/etc means that stuff left outside tends to get dirty really fast

I have never used a clothesline to dry clothes so i'm curious, what do you do when it's raining for several days straight/there's strong winds/it's below freezing

Here at least, people usually have a clothes rack like this for indoors:

Just put it in the living room when the weather outside is bad for air drying

Ah...not sure how well this would work in a 6-person household...

Meanwhile, over on Twitter...

Some people shouldn't contextually abuse lines from other people's movies.

EM: “You know, I’m reminded of. There’s a scene in ‘The Princess Bride’ — great movie — where he confronts the person who killed his father and he says, ‘Offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care.’”

Interviewer: "So you just don't care?"

EM: “I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it."

i love the trend of tumblr users making polls to settle a trivial little argument where they confidently assert how right they think they are and then the poll results overwhelmingly prove that they were wrong

A lot of people saying "they're dead" and that's true, but a lot of them are also permanently disabled

"WHERE DID ALL THE PEOPLE GO THAT WE GLEEFULLY SACRIFICED ON THE BLOOD ALTAR OF WALLSTREET? WE NEED MORE SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PILE!"

  1. Dead
  2. Permanently disabled
  3. Families that were forced to adjust to being single-income households for childcare purposes and stuck with it
  4. Older folks who retired early because they didn't want to die
  5. People who are still stuck at home because they're severely immunocompromised and new variants are still breaking out

6. Have a an immunocompromised family member whose health would be jeopardized by cohabitation with someone in daily contact with the public.

7. Homeless and without the foundational resources to become employed

8. Self-medicated with various substances to push though hard times, and are now struggling through addictions that you don't want in your employees

9. Moved away to live with family when they could no longer afford to live independently

i just saw the phrase "unregistered molotov cocktails" in a news article and im really enjoying imagining this world where you have to register molotovs to the state

keeping all the ingredients separate and then frantically submitting a registration form before i yeet it from a rooftop at the cop car parked across the street

"Excuse me, Officer? I'd like to register these, please"
