I figured some of the larger species have some basic emotions. My preying mantis could certainly let me know if she was irritated, though I never really saw a “happy” as much as “content.”
My tarantula and I never managed to talk to one another.

We didn’t have cattle. Just horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, a couple turkeys, and rabbits… Tons of rabbits accidentally one time. We let them do their thing when we wanted more.
Ummm… We don’t typically have just one pen or pasture for the animals. The males and females are typically kept separate from each other, except for when we specifically want more animals.
Plants scream when they die, we just don’t notice it. They release all sorts of pheromone type chemicals that warn other plants that there is danger. That’s definitely a scream.
I’m not saying eating meat is better, I’m just saying that seemingly the only truly ethical things to eat are raw minerals, and I don’t believe that’s possible, other than salt. Salt seems to be the only tasty rock.
Pineapple tries to eat you back when you eat it, if that makes you feel any better. That painful sensation in your mouth that fresh pineapple causes is a digestive enzyme that the fruit releases to prevent animals from eating it. Works on humans about as well as capsaicin.
I’ve asked my cats loads of questions. Not one has given a comprehensive answer.
Insects on the other hand are pretty much nature’s robots.
You guys already hit better than 4% according to some articles I’ve seen posted here-ish over the last couple months.
If we can get it to the SCOTUS, they may overturn QI. The law in question got copied wrong when they copied it from the congressional record into the federal register. Had the 1982 court been handed the law as passed, the 16 word clause that got omitted would have caused Harlow v Fitzgerald to go the other way.
Hand them the original text, and they’ll have to overturn that decision.
They didn’t suffer any losses during Operation Preying Mantis
If they keep this war up, with the current losses in manpower, for another 8 to 9 months, they won’t have enough Russian males to repopulate the country. Putin may be effectively killing Russia as a country. Unfortunately Ukraine may hit that point sooner since they have fewer people.
And US aircraft carriers have an honestly embarrassing amount of firepower, completely disregarding the jets. There’s a reason that they haven’t been sunk by anyone other than the USN since Midway. Apparently we have sunk several carriers since WWII, one with a nuke. It survived the first nuke, but the second sunk her. Though the Independence survived both nukes.
The Pledge didn’t originally contain the words Under God, that was inserted in the 60s
Does that count as Scripture or Advertising?
Ahh, thanks. I think that may be a grandad level pun
That’s totally fucked up, and seems to be a violation of the first amendment, but IANAL
I’m not getting it. Explain, please?
Most of the staff likely would have told me that it is mandatory. There are news stories all the time about kids being bullied, given detention, and other negative repercussions, for exercising their right to not say the pledge.
Por que no los dos?
The golden retriever was named Tahereh.
I also had mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, and cats. Parents had a nice farm.
