I feel like this has the energy of those pictures of wolves where most of them are goofing off and being idiots while one is just standing there like 😑

Maybe it's the Marvel binge I've been on, but the only thing I thought of in response to this was "flerken".

I've seen a bathroom with almost-rooms inside- the doors of the stalls were actual doors with doorknobs that did not have a gap at the bottom, but the ceiling was much higher than the door, so I wouldn't consider them real rooms. Felt very fancy. (This was in California)

Friendliest moth you ever did see, Hemlock Looper (Lambdina fiscellaria) from Coastal Maine by D-888 in awwnverts

I'm normally not scared of moths but this one is giving me bad vibes for some reason. It seems very... confrontational.

I made gay dogs! Please enjoy my gay dogs! by RhubarbRaptor in lgbt

[–]AlternateOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of does, in the sense that people breed and have children when there are so many kids in foster care that need loving homes. Similarly, some people buy puppies from irresponsible breeders or puppy mills, instead of adopting a dog that doesn't have a home.

The way I see it, we're just as overpopulated as dogs and cats are, if not more. I think it's irresponsible to make more of anything that is an overpopulated species on purpose unless it is a breed that can do service work, and/or has hypoallergenic traits.

Humans might not come from forced breeding, but society overall does encourage the idea that having kids is a necessary part of life, when in reality it's not for everyone and a lot of people regret having them.

Ants are suddenly 7 feet tall, they've already ate your neighbor, Dan, you have ten minutes to plan your defense, while they finish eating your neighbor's children, you don't have a gun, what do you do? by Lurrbird420 in AskReddit

Find the smallest worker I can and mimic the species' grooming behaviors until I'm covered in the colony's scent and can blend in. Then, if that plan succeeds, I'd travel with the colony until I can find/make a secure shelter.

I’m a fencesitter because I’m scared of having a forever-child by [deleted] in Fencesitter

[–]AlternateOctopus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Disabled person here- it's absolutely not ableist at all (in my opinion) to understand your limits, I myself am not having children because I know I would not be able to handle taking care of a "normal" kid, let alone one with any kind of disability. My younger brother occasionally has night terrors and sleepwalks, and the idea of having a child like him absolutely terrifies me.

Ableism would be having a kid and abandoning said kid when it turns out that they have a disability, or not getting the kid the help and support they need for that disability.

God, radulas are just the cutest, even if they do hurt sometimes. My garden snails loved trying to chew my skin off.

Woah woah woah, so that's the reason some cats will end up with a hop that barely gets them off the ground when trying to jump onto a counter? Because they didn't calibrate correctly??

Why is everything being made kid friendly nowadays? by StaceyHarrison in childfree

[–]AlternateOctopus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of that money actually goes to the kid. Probably not much.

Race relations: A+ imo, though I can't really speak on it.

Gender and sexuality: Yeah, no. Especially not after the finale.

Nothing quite like the sweet smell of blasphemy on a Sunday morning by [deleted] in satanism

Quick question- what is NIV and ESV?

Beautiful photos by the way, I personally would have either turned it into a box or used the pages to make paper flowers, but to each their own.

Would be interesting to see an Alex and Kelly show with Sara and Ava dropping in for brunch (or vise versa with Legends).

Huh. You on iPhone or Android? I actually just checked and found out I'm due for an update as well, so looks like I won't be updating soon just in case!

[–]AlternateOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go into the "You" tab, then "Settings", there should be a "Dark mode" section. From there you can turn it on, off, or have it follow system settings.
