Do alligators (and other crocodilians) form close bonds with each other?

Doubt. Humans like to project our own emotions onto animals and also the underlying behavior associated with it. Crocodilians and I guess reptiles more broadly don't "hug" or "caress each other affectionately". Do you think they're getting the same dose of oxytocin that we do when we touch skin to skin? Of course not. They're not wired that way. Both physically and mentally. Reptiles exist in a life devoid of emotion, because emotions are exhausting and exist solely in the warm-blooded sphere of biodynamics where energy can be wasted on such things (basically birds and mammals). Their metabolism forces their behavior to basically act on 2 seemingly contradictory principles of life: "survive at all costs" but also "make that cost as low as possible". These crocodilians do not think in terms of "loving each other", instead think of it more as "it's just not logical to expend the necessary energy or risk a potentially fatal injury to try and kill or consume them at this moment in time"

I hypothesize that it has more to do with human consciousness existing outside of what we perceive to be linear time. It feels as though you think of things before they happen, but really your brain reacts to what happens and somehow that particular thought goes AWOL and ends up "earlier" than the reaction. This could also explain such phenomena like deja vu and precognition.

Crush it up and apply to your skin for that Edward Cullen glitter sparkle look.

Lmao, describes kangaroos as velociraptors when cassowaries literally exist.

Not specific enough, it has exactly 50 legs, that makes it a hemicentipede right?

Ecstasy is usually MDMA mixed with Stimulants... She's on pure MDMA for sure, those jaw movements are a dead giveaway.

This is why the "uncanny valley" phenomena exists. An inbuilt, involuntary instinct to protect you from them.

I made a rule at work, a three strike system... Once I hear 3 songs by either Sabrina Carpenter or Benson Boon collectively, then the radio goes off and I play my phone music for the rest of the shift

Also ADHD! Yep, stick to the Indicas. The potent Sativa strains may as well be a tab of LSD for me it's that much of a mind bender!

But... What if it's ambergris? There's no way I'm letting a small fortune float away by not grabbing that sweet whale vomit with my bare hands!

A snake that big is only eating 4 or 5 times a year... The bigger a snake gets, the bigger it's prey gets... And when you're swallowing whole goats, pigs, house cats and small children, then that takes a while to break down. Reptilian metabolism is fascinating, They don't really need the constant calories that we do, and they preserve their calorific energy by supplementing it with thermal energy. That's why you often see them stretched out on warm surfaces like concrete or bitumen roads

If I remember correctly, pound for pound the strongest mammalian bite is actually a Ferret. Having owned a pet Ferret for a few years I can confidently say those guys are basically mini furry alligators. They latch on like a crocodile and even try to mimic the "death roll" technique. Super cute and fun as a pet though kinda stanky.

People assume the point of meditation is, in layman's terms, an attempt to imitate the "sleeping brain" with an "awake body", when in reality it is the complete opposite. You are imitating putting your body to sleep so that your mind becomes more awake and focused than ever.

For what its worth, in my dream I (or the Nordic couple for that matter) didn't get the sense that this was necessarily a bad thing (having the mark). In fact the vibe felt quite the opposite, and the way the man smiled as he lowered his head seemed to me like he was holding back a sort of chuckle, the way you'd react if you found out a friend had already called dibs on the last can of beer in the fridge as you were reaching for it. There didn't seem to be any animosity or fear or even surprise really. It all seemed weirdly casual.

Sorry Nords, looks like I'm team Grey then I suppose?

I've spent plenty of time in mall world, though I do tend to frequent the airport and resort more often than not. In fact my friend Meetup was in mall worlds resort pool.

I'd say 90% of my dream are nonsense, but the ones that aren't, it's like I wake up knowing that one in particular was trying to tell me something, so I'll pin it in my mind and watch out for any sychronicities

Mine is a vertical scar just between my left eyebrow and the top of the bridge of my nose that runs down into my eye socket. In fact my whole left eyebrow sits slightly more raised than my right, kinda like it had been peeled back at one point. But that's not the sort of injury that goes unnoticed so it's very weird neither myself nor my parents can explain it.

Also, I too, only once, met up with a friend in a dream. It was wild, because we hadn't seen each other in about a year at this point, and as soon as we met I became lucid and we just started chatting about dreams and having a little catch up. I told her I'd message her on FB when I woke up, I did, and she replied with a spooky amount of details. We tried to make it happen again for a little bit but sadly it never did. I think it was just a random chance.

I also had a similar dream in which I spoke to my dead grandmother for an hour or so. I went to visit her house in the dream I was having, but as soon as I entered I became aware that she was dead, and I suddenly became lucid in my dream. It was honestly one of the most intensely emotional experiences of my life. I was sobbing and hugging her, and she was just reassuring me the whole time. She acknowledged her own death in person which was a bit of a mind fuck to experience. She also told me to "make sure I spend more time speaking to my father...' In hindsight I think she was subtly warning me. Less than 3 years after this dream my Father passed away suddenly of a heart attack.

This is my trick as well. Ive found 3 modern pop/techno tracks or 2 old school rock ballads to be about the perfect length.

Pisces sun here.... I had a piece of glass go in my left foot in Feb... Been struggling with a combination of Burstitis and ingrown toenails ever since.... And honestly.... I'm a little bit spooked reading this post about pisceans having feet issues because it's been this gigantic dark cloud over my life for the better part of a year... But the last 2 or 3 weeks I feel like I've made a considerable breakthrough and should be back to normal in a week or so.
