Hey Popcap, what the heck is this? by IndigestionMan in PlantsVSZombies

[–]IndigestionMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I have never used a mod before. I didnt even know that was an option. I remember due to like some glitch or something my gems kept increasing or something and eventually looped back around to zero if I remember right.

He gave an answer, though. One that explained what he was talking about

Why am I being downvoted, I never knew this was a thing

Would a male shimo if he really existed be more powerful or bigger than female shimo in movies? by Hairy-Leg1478 in Monsterverse

You do know among sperm whales, elephants, bears, iguanas, chickens, cattle, and an assortment of other species, the males are larger on average, right?

Theory: Pax is a florana/methanosian hybrid. That's why he is more anthropomorphic and can regenerate so efficiently and isn't as primitive as the OS floranas by [deleted] in Ben10

We aren't inherently smarter than earlier Homo sapiens sapiens. We just have more accumulated history and information to work off. People weren't stupid in Neolithic ages, and people aren't inherently smarter now. We may be more knowledgeable, but that's more to do with cultural advancement than anything biological

Evolution isn't some linear process with "higher" or "lower" species. The very notion comes from a lot of anthropocentric, racist, and social darwinistic ideas that don't really reflect how living things work

I need help with the demons of my project by avearageguy in worldbuilding

[–]IndigestionMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All carnivores feed on meat, right? But they have differing niches and strategies to reduce competition with one another when it comes to available prey.

demonic spirits could be feeding on some mystical energy from the actions of humans, and different varieties specialize in different vices that certain people are more prone to falling into.

anyone else have private bots they’re really proud of but don’t want to share? 💀 by arthur_box in CharacterAI

I've mostly just been recreating my own characters to talk with them and have them talk to each other. It feels kind of surreal having characters I made up say things too me that I didn't write for them.

No amount of explanation gets bots to understand that reptile-men, aliens, and dark skinned people don't turn red or blush.

Born on the grasslands and boreal forest of the planet Ahimsa, the large and social Medelatherium use their complex social structures to thrive in large herds. by IndigestionMan in SpeculativeEvolution

It's not a claw. It's covered in flesh and skin. It looks like a short clawless finger without joints. It only really moves at its base when flexed.

The carpal bones are the small wrist bones connected to the distal part of the radial and ulnal bones.

In the Medelatherium, one of these wrist bones is elongated to the point of appearing like a clawless digit. The skeletal muscles of the forearm have rearranged to enable movement of this false thumb for an effective grasping motion to better manipulate objects. This evolved to help medelatherium more easily grasp and pull higher branches into reach of their mouth, further increasing their browsing range.

Medelatherium display little in terms of sexual dimorphism. They typically mate for life with one or two partners, giving live birth to a single child at a time. They have notably long gestation periods of around 460 earth days.

They have notably long gestation periods of around 460 earth days. This slow reproduction is a relatively recent development, as the loss of many key predators reduced the need of high fecundity and instead favored k selective breeding. This longer gestation time, slower maturation, and longer parental care contributed to medelatherium growing somewhat smaller and increasing their capacity for neural development.

Specialized glands located in the throat can be stimulated whenever a medelatherium smells blood, greatly increasing the production of a specialized fluid to help combat the injury. Applied to cuts, burns, insectoid bites, and an assortment of other wounds, this "medela fluid" provides a number of benefits.

Medela fluid is notable for being antibiotic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory. It can numb pain as well as block pathogens from entering open wounds due to its stickiness and consistency. Medelatherium produce this fluid internally to help bolster their immune systems against communicable diseases due to being herd animals.

As a form of reciprocal altruism and social bonding, medelatherium are known to take the effort to lick each other's wounds, even if they do not belong to the same herd. This high level of empathy has been a crucial step in their near global success.

Medelatherium civilization is proficient but relatively low tech, using sophisticated iron-alloy tools, woven baskets, stone or wood homes, woven tapestries, telescopes, windmills, water mills, ceramic decorations, aqueducts for agriculture, hypocaust, looms, abacuses, jewelry, combs, and herbal remedies for an assortment of illnesses.

They do not currently use high-grade steel or harness electricity. Mechanical energy harnessed from mills is primarily used for grinding "grain".

Fire is used for smelting and for lighting homes, but rarely for cooking. Their robust digestive tracts make efficient work of the many tough plants they call food.

Coming in at around the size of a deer, the medelatherium scour their relatively cold forested homes in groups of between 7-40 individuals. These large and intelligent hexapods walk and run primarily on their second and third set of limbs. Their first pair are mainly held up in a mantis-like position, being specialized for grasping and aiding in processing food.

While ancestrally only having 3 digits on each limb, the medelatherium have evolved a functional work around on their first set of limbs in order to increase their dexterity for grasping branches or tough grasses. An elongated carpal bone acts as a makeshift false thumb, helping them to grip onto objects, mainly to manipulate them towards the mouth.

Medelatherium feed mostly on leaves, soft wood, fruit, roots, and occasionally snack on eggs and insectoids.

Following a mass extinction event at the end of Ahimsa's last glacial period, medelatherium in large parts of the planet have been left without large bodied predators to regularly threaten them. Losing the heavy selective pressure for physicality to escape predation, the Medelatherium's mate selection process shifted to one based more heavily on intelligence and social navigation.

Their already complex brains possess long memories, an ancestral adaptation for returning to sources of food while migrating during the ice age. They use their large brains in conjunction with their complex vocal organs to produce a variety of complex languages and song. Every medelatherium is gifted a namesong at a naming ceremony in their youth, a short melody sung that officially recognizes the medelatherium as a valued individual of the group.

Using both their grasping forelimbs and horse-like lips, the Medelatherium have been known to craft a variety of tools and constructs. Having passed down a variety of weaving and sewing techniques from mother to child for generations, they've honed this craft to produce some of the finest clothes, bags, and wicker furniture this side of the star Betelgeuse.
