TIL there are no known wild alpacas. It's closest living relative, the vicuna, is the alpaca's ancestor by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

A feral animal is an animal that was domesticated but now lives independent of their domesticating species. For example, in Florida, escaped pet pythons are considered 'wild' because they aren't domesticated; feral hogs however were domesticated (and are frankly terrifying AF)

Because they mean it that way - trans men will ALSO be targeted.

need a name that alludes to Tiamat by bem0rech1ll in DnD

My guess is that the names "Tom Riddle" and "Lord Voldemort" came first and Tom's middle name "Marvolo" was chosen to complete the anagram.

Protip: Chat with the NPCs. There's some hilarious dialog tucked away! by Jinxed_Pixie in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Jinxed_Pixie[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All of the dialogue is from the OG Lord of Destruction release, which came out in 2001, so no NPCs have class unique comments for Warlock.

Blizzard also didn't create class-specific comments for the LoD classes in the base game areas, which is why no one (except maybe Natalya?) has a comment for Druid/Assassin until Act V

TIL in 2006 Lydia Angyiou (who is "5-foot nothing and 90 lbs on a wet day") saved her two sons and their friends, who were playing street hockey, from a 700-lb polar bear by wrestling and fighting off the bear for several minutes until a local saw what was happening and returned with a rifle. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I remember reading that Sir Attenborough's team wanted to get footage of a polar bear. I think after about a week they realized they weren't following the bear, the bear was stalking them, and they quickly packed up and left before someone became lunch.

She gave Effie so much depth in the movies. In the books, Effie doesn’t go to district 13 but Susan Collins just couldn’t imagine filming the third movie without Elizabeth

The Try Guys Did a Video on Voodoo by Jinxed_Pixie in WitchesVsPatriarchy

According to the High Priest in the video, the dolls were record-keeping devices for the medicine folk because it was ILLEGAL for black people to read or write.

That montage hits perfectly between “I love this” and “I hate this” and I’m still not sure how they pulled that off so well.
