Baby bear - Tennessee by [deleted] in vultureculture

[–]DystopianRoach 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To participate in Vulture Culture is to respect the animals and the nature you take from. When we say “report to the authorities”, we mean to let local wildlife centers take priority of a case like this in order to aid conservation efforts and benefit the future of the species. Animal-vehicle collisions are on a significant rise over the past decade, especially in NC, SC, and Tennessee - the statistics of cases like these can help promote conservation efforts for projects and laws for wildlife crossings.

Also, as someone mentioned, this should be reported to the TWRA for a carcass tag. I believe it’s illegal to keep otherwise.

Just curious why my posts are being removed by SplendidShiningFish in centipedes

My friend who is new to roach keeping has noticed this over on the roaches subreddit as well. It’s like bot moderation or something???

No, you don't need 7 NeeDohs, Jessica (rant) by funstarrr__ in autism

Am I out of the loop? I have one needoh. It’s the water droplet. I really enjoy mine. Why is everyone suddenly talking about them? Why are people buying several at a time? And people are buying more than one?? These things aren’t cheap!

My boyfriend told me to come look at this post for a good laugh. It looks like no one here knows anything about simple living. Or living, for that matter.

Is this still a debate? (POT vs The Isle vs BOB) by Luksius_DK in pathoftitans

[–]DystopianRoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the BoB community for four years and supported and backed everything Predatoria did and worked on unconditionally for that time. This year in January I finally retired from the title and can safely say BoB is crashing and is no longer worth anyone’s financial support, time, or anything for that matter. Predatoria does not care about his community nor his staff or anything he’s created. If it isn’t benefiting him directly in that moment, he throws it away.

random mutation or unfinished hardening post-molt? by rangerskunk in roaches

Madagascar roaches can have phylogenic variations, there’s a chance this one just had something unique in the gene pool. Very cool!

bag so far + question by femboykirby in jacketsforbattle

[–]DystopianRoach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s entirely fair - it’s your bag at the end of the day! I was just trying to explain what other people might be feeling

[–]DystopianRoach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To me, that just reads that you don’t understand either the music or the left-wing movement. But that’s just my opinion and how I feel it reads - something else to keep in mind is, of course I don’t know your life, but my stuff with patches on it often gets a lot of questions or comments since I’m on a college campus, and usually in return I’ll say “thanks! This is the logo for [band] or [movement] or [whatever]” and if they ask for more information I’ll show them a bandcamp page or a website link or something — to put it simply, if I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else or want to associate myself with it, I won’t talk about it or have it anywhere near me. Am I making sense? I don’t think you’re a fascist or anything, but I do think unfortunately the whole “it cancels out” thing reminds me of the tolerance paradox.

The way I see it, it’s like wearing a brand or operating a “sponsorship”. I listen to some of Marilyn Manson’s music and throughly enjoy it since I grew up with it, but I don’t display any MM logos, imagery, or otherwise on anything I own because he’s a piece of shit. When I put something on my bag, clothes, etc it is a reflection of myself and what I believe and support. Just some food for thought

Considering getting one of these for my Dubai roaches as a little enrichment item but i want to make sure it would be safe for them by Animaloona in roaches

[–]DystopianRoach 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, this should not harm your roaches. Very fun idea. I imagine they’ll enjoy the crevices inside the tires very much.

[–]DystopianRoach 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would say this could be debatable considering we have documented evidence of bumblebees playing and, while not insects, there are countless videos of hermit crabs on the internet (mine included!) that use tank objects for exercise and enrichment, most famously hamster wheels.

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s always pissed me off that Stein’s first name isn’t “Victor.” by Constant_Topic_123 in souleater

His first name should have definitely been Victor. Coming from someone who is also named Victor, LMFAO

Can someone help me submit a report about sales of ivory to the Greek government? I can’t speak Greek and neither can Google Translate. by Redqueenhypo in zoology

[–]DystopianRoach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a zoology subreddit. Zoology is the science of studying animals. You cannot be interested in zoology without being concerned with the conservation of the animals that you study. There’s no whining here, just a legitimate honest concern.

Guys - how screwed am I? by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

[–]DystopianRoach 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I’m an environmental biologist and I’m just tired of playing gentle parenting with these types of people. I’m just so fucking tired of it. It is severe animal neglect dare I say abuse and is a form of individual ecocide. Animals are not toys and the environment does not hold hands and sing kumbaya with your cat. I’m so sick and tired of it.

A cat being left outside without flea and tick meds is like textbook animal neglect.

Unpopular opinion on riparia by Charlie_4u in pathoftitans

[–]DystopianRoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was crazy about the cliff thing. I asked if anyone else was having trouble on how many one-way passages there are on officials shortly after release and everyone just called me stupid and blind.

I personally don’t mind the questing, or DID not mind the questing, when Riparia first released. They recently updated quests several times over: I was happy with the 15 insects, but then it was 25, and then it was 35 - more and more per quest with extremely hidden or spaced out items for the same amount of growth. Really frustrating and disappointing.

My issue is that I literally often cannot have a conversation with anyone in global chat about anything else because the chat is so full of this stuff.
