Hearing them get so excited over the whale fall is so fun I love hearing people who are passionate about their work
Fascinating to see how low energy this ecosystem is. This is the greatest bounty these animals will probably see in their lives, and they’re sleepily shuffling toward it, because their body literally lacks the energy to move any faster than that. To them it probably feels like breakneck speed.
Tasteful bulge? Yeah I would like a taste f- [I am interrupted by the sound of a dry twig snapping. This is impossible, as I am in the infinite linoleum bathroom dimension for this joke.]
couldn't get this concept to leave me so here
hey good news
there's a specifically designated role in the naked mole rat ecology for "guy who runs off into the wilderness and fucks their way into a stranger's house"
Y'all have no idea how absurdly strange naked mole rats are as creatures They're cold-blooded mammals that live in a eusocial structure with a queen and drones, similar to ants, bees, termites and no other mammal on the planet. They barely need to breathe, with a respiration rate low enough to let them thrive in burrows with 2% oxygen, and survive with 0 oxygen whatsoever for about 20 minutes with zero lasting effects.
They live for over 30 years, which is absurdly long for a rodent, don't grow frail with age, and are basically immune to cancer because their telomeres just never shorten.
Naked Mole Rats are rodents that attempted to evolve into bugs, failed, and unlocked the secret to immortality in the process.
Oh so THAT'S why the fuckers are everywhere in Fallout 4. That makes them 10x more nightmare fuel... thanks I hate it.
rarityyyy
realized I hadn’t fed my Geonemertes in two weeks, so I offered it an isopod. didn’t expect to see it strike, so the video isn’t the sharpest, but what a cool way of hunting!
the worm fires its sticky proboscis like a harpoon, presumably injecting venom at some point.
this is Geonemertes pelaensis, one of a scant few terrestrial examples of a mostly marine phylum (Nemertea). it’s an invasive species in the US and elsewhere, implicated in lowering counts of some soil arthropods.
it also has a very cute face.
just watched this Geonemertes pelaensis catch a wolf spider! these terrestrial ribbon worms hunt by firing their proboscis at prey like a harpoon, envenomating them. this spider stopped moving instantly after the proboscis made contact—I’ll try to get a video of it next time… one of the most bizarre hunting techniques I’ve seen.

Hey, yes, come here:
In regards to Nex’s death do NOT erase the fact that they were Native American. Do NOT. They’re native identity is just as integral to this as their trans one, I ASSURE you. The Oklahoma Governor has been rallying against native people since he got elected.
17 years ago today.. the biggest rockstar move in history.

I am glad that the teenager I was when I saw how the press called her "crazy" for the head shaving got to see this.
UM WE FORGOT THE OTHER TWO

most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it
He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system
meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes
they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode
it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.
the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down
