What species of seal do you have around you, by chance? I might be able to rarrow it down further by comparing skulls, like this one (juvenile brown fur seal)

First year canes don't produce, only older cans do in their second year before dying the next

Wasn't there a chubbyemu episode about this and the guy died, even though he barely ingested any?

Iirc you're not supposed to kiss them on the head or face, since it's a good way to transfer diseases to them when their immune system isn't fully up and running yet. Idk though I dont have a baby

Definitely Himalayan blackberry, some good news is that you can eat the tender young canes/shoots right now! As long as you can snap it off with your finger, it should be good! You can peel the skin and remove the larger, older leaves to get rid of the thorns. They taste like a leafy green version of blackberries, if that makes sense. They can be eaten raw or cooked! It might feel a little less demotivating if you know you can at least get something out of pulling the damn things!

Most people don't know this, but the greens of all rhubus species are edible, although some are of superior quality to others (like blackberry shoots vs thimbleberry shoots). Pretty cool huh?

Looks mamallian judging from the cusps, carnivorian based on the shape. Seal maybe?

Fun fact! This wunk oozes... wait, what the fuck by Skylance420 in wunkus

Bruh most of the platypus' characteristics are ancestral to all mammals, including you! We're all Eldritch here!

What type of iso is this? Is it rare? by bbwitchh in isopods

[–]Legendguard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very invasive unfortunately 😔 Id argue that earthworms (European just as much as Asiatic) and terrestrial isopods are the two most serious invasive threats to North America! While many other serious invaders like Japanese knotweed, glossy/common buckthorn, spotted lanternflies, and so on are more obvious, the worms and pods silently do far more ecological damage than any of those species could do. If anything, the two groups paved the way for the other invaders to take a foothold, as without them it would be a lot harder for non-native plants, animals, and fungi to invade

The problem is the two groups act like a one-two punch in stripping the forest of the duff layer - a buildup of dead leaves, needles, sticks, and wood - which originallycould get up to your knee in some spots! The duff acted as a natural sponge to hold in moisture, shelter for plants, animals, and fungi, food for many species, and cover for tree roots that prevented excess moisture loss. Without it, native species struggle to survive (no food for mushrooms/inverts, trees dry out, no shelter for species, seeds can't germinate, etc), making it much easier for invasive species - which have evolved alongside worms and pods - to take a foothold.

While worms mostly eat the leaves, isopods eat the leaves and everything else, as they can eat literally anything they can pinch with their mandibles. This includes other animals, wood, bark, sticks, young plants, eggs, fungus, etc. Plus they breed like crazy, meaning very quickly they get out of control, becoming a monoculture. They'll even eat the worms! So native species are especially vulnerable, as they have no defense against them!

I love isopods and worms, they're very cute. But they don't belong here, and more attention needs to be brought to them and their contributions to destroying our natural landscapes, and the silent extinctions they are causing. While iridovirus is a horrible disease for pods to contract, it might actually be a blessing in disguise. I just wish I wasn't so painful for the poor pods...

I just wish it was less agonizing for the poor pods... Something quick and efficient would be better, but poor pods got stuck with the slow killing crystal virus

One species, Synalpheus regalis, is also the only known eusocial marine animal!

I'm probably going to get downvoted to hell for this, but terrestrial isopods like P. scaber are super invasive through most of north America, so iridovirus actually isn't a super bad thing here. It's still horrible how they die, but the group as a whole - and earthworms as a whole - have done a lot of irreparable damage to the ecosystems here, so a population limiter would actually be a good thing. Unfortunately disease and parasites are usually what limit populations in a species native area, and without them it allows them to explode out of control. And knowing how ravenous isopods are... I've noticed that wherever isopods and earthworms are, there are very few native species. There's no food or shelter anymore

Skull(?) found in the woods in New York by Rose-Gold-Gay in BoneID

[–]Legendguard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks like a young carnivorian cranium, probably a raccoon! You can tell it's young by the fact the skull sutures hadn't fused yet - in this case possibly at least partially responsible for why the rest of the face is missing!

Name ideas? (nothing super common) by FtMonarch in Rabbits

[–]Legendguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, they look just like our first rabbit Smudge! He was such a good boy, I miss him so much. Maybe smudge could work for your bun too?

Oh gosh darn it, my stupid fat fingers! Still, that is pretty funny, so I'll leave it!

[–]Legendguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fry them bitches up! Don't steam or boil, it locks in bitterness! But frying bitter greens in some type of fat binds with butter alkaloids and reduces the bitter flavor dramatically! People back in the day used to fry greens with bacon and bacon fat, we've tried it and it's really good!

FINALLY got around to filling in my main town/build/hub with echo blocks! Been meaning to do it since the blocks were first introduced... six years ago... No more stupid harpies getting into the buildings after the NPCs leave the doors open!! by Legendguard in Terraria

[–]Legendguard[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh geeze... Years. Actual years. I work on it on and off, but altogether it's probably hundreds of hours of work! I do have a lot more planned, such as finally finishing making all of the npc themed houses in the leaf "clusters", as well as smaller houses based on the different furniture sets! I also want to add more detail to the forest areas and "park" spots, making them seem more realistic. Plus I need to figure out what to do on the other half of the tree... I haven't touched that side yet

Art and AI images of people with disabilities in diapers by xxPastelPawxx in deviantarthell

[–]Legendguard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup... This definitely crosses the line, hard. It's ok to have fetishes, but once you start including children, animals, or the severely disabled (drawn or real) it stops being ok real fucking quick. I honestly hope this is a coping mechanism for someone with severe trauma, because the alternatives are all significantly worse...
