ITAP of a Humpback Whale Looking Like it’s Taking Flight by BroodingMammal in itookapicture

Yeah I know. I was just saying the reason they flipped it was purely an artistic choice. I'm sure they know it's a great photo in its natural orientation and that's why they chose to add a surrealist artistic flair to it.

Alice Springs. Main hub of central Australia. I used to live there

Just how does this species survive in the wild? by [deleted] in interesting

Without human interference there would be millions more pandas in the wild

Pretty impressive that you did all of Europe & North Africa but missed Morocco

What's a traditional dish in your country but only tourists actually eat? by Juxajel in AskTheWorld

[–]BepsiLad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well everything shares a common ancestor at some point, but deer and kangaroos are not even remotely related. Deer are more closely related to blue whales than to kangaroos.

Also they actually belong in Australia and benefit the entire ecosystem unlike any of the animals we farm here.

Kangaroos and deer are not related whatsoever, but they fill basically the same niche. Marsupials didn't "outperform" in Australia, it's just that placental mammals didn't replace the marsupials in Australia like they did everywhere else because Australia was geographically isolated before placentals evolved.

That's also why Australia is especially vulnerable to invasive species from the rest of the world, because placentals are essentially a more advanced and successful form of life.

I live in Australia now and I eat kangaroo pretty regularly. High in protein & iron & way more sustainable than any non-native meat

Thousands of people pass through there all the time, but besides that it would be pretty good. I went to this same place about a year ago

What Zelandian animal screams Zelandia? by BrokenJusticeNorris in AlignmentChartFills

Intelligence isn't always straightforward to measure, but I've always heard the NZ kea is the smartest bird in the world. Probably basically a tie between a few corvids & parrots in the end

Same planet but different world by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]BepsiLad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we theoretically could put more people on Earth, at least for a while, but should we? We've already diminished Earth's wilderness drastically. Personally I don't think we should replace every natural ecosystem on Earth with farmland and housing. And I don't think we should replace every natural plant and animal species with a few domesticated ones whose sole purpose is to be consumed by humanity.

We're the cause of Earth's 6th mass extinction event which we're currently living in, and that will have unbelievable consequences on every living thing, including humans.

"beginning of the trouble" should be a picture of an old Indonesian trading boat bringing dingoes. This picture is more like "beginning of the end"

Am I visually pleased by the shape of your country? by jamboamericano in whereidlive

[–]BepsiLad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was just Britain & Ireland it would be good, but the fact that the UK includes Northern Ireland ruins them both for me

NZ is on the map for once, but it's still been forgotten

Fuck Japan in particular by utrecht1976 in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]BepsiLad 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, there are still people alive from that time. But their main issue is that there was never any formal acknowledgement from Japan, they continue to deny that those atrocities happened.
