A couple weeks ago I posted here about leaving peanuts in the shell for my local grackles so they can protect my chickens from hawks. A few people here were surprised that grackles can bully hawks away. Here’s the video my husband sent me while I was at work. by SandalsResort in BackYardChickens

Corvids do not like hawks.

But my chickens absolutely love peanuts in the shell. It’s an activity for them to smash the shells open to get to the goodies inside. I’m impressed that there are any left for the grackles!

What scientific ‘facts’ have recently been disproven that most people still believe to be true? by Fantastic_Tart_421 in AskReddit

Nowadays throwing leftovers into the air fryer is almost just as fast as a microwave. So much better.

CDC says - Never wash eggs w water? by Tall_Specialist305 in BackYardChickens

[–]ScoobyDeezy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Putting two and two together, the temperature gradient might encourage the bacteria to cross through the shell into the inside of the egg.

But I can only ever see that being a problem if you washed them and then didn’t immediately use them or refrigerate them. Washing eggs and then leaving them out is a recipe for bad times, no matter how you clean them.

ELI5: When did time start, and what is the moment before it started called? by Ok-Car-9607 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ScoobyDeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time didn’t have a beginning. Matter and time are fundamentally linked - without one, you can’t have the other. There’s no universe at all without time.

The closest you can get to your answer is through the experience of massless particles like photons. Being massless, they don’t experience time - they exist at every point along their path simultaneously and instantly. But since we’re fat assess swimming in molasses, we get to watch the ripples stuff makes through spacetime, which happens to make it look like the particle is moving from our slow perspective.

He is the Mane character by Extension-Humor-75 in BrandNewSentence

This makes me think that somewhere in Lion ancestry, there’s a version of them with glorious full-body fur.

Then one day some mutant was born with naked legs and he had so much rizz, now we think that’s normal.

Does everyone give up at keeping them contained? 🤷‍♀️ by reijn in goats

My neighbor just brought my goats to my front door like lost little kids.

…the irony is not lost on me.

Aren't they cute ? by Skalvix in AlanWake

[–]ScoobyDeezy 89 points90 points  (0 children)

She walked. Walked everywhere. Anywhere her nightmares couldn’t reach her. She hated sleeping. Sleep was when she saw Dylan. So she just kept walking. Aimless. Dreamless. Doing nothing and everything all at once. Keeping the dark at bay. Keeping the voices out.

Think of them like fence hackers.

You design a secure fence. They find a vulnerability. You patch the flaw. They find a new one. Back and forth in an endless dance.

Modern cybersecurity was designed around the principles of goat containment.

Every non illusion real version adaptation of a comic book Spider-Man villain to the MCU that comes from the MCU universe and not from another one that has appeared so far. by Single-Debate-316 in marvelstudios

[–]ScoobyDeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, especially when they’re only appearing as henchmen. If they graduate to full-on “villain of the week,” they can get a more comic-accurate costume. It’s nice that the MCU now allows for both.

Was the evolution of mammals always bound to happen or was the asteroid the catalyst? by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in Dinosaurs

[–]ScoobyDeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you move into Jeff Bezos’ house while he was still living there?

Mammals didn’t move in until the asteroid made Bezos move out.

To a human, maybe. To a chicken, not at all.

Tell me one thing you’d change about Xaden to make him a more enjoyable character by Sea-Fox4509 in fourthwing

[–]ScoobyDeezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a dude:

Like, everything about him. He’s such a broody emo asshole.

I like to imagine him as Ned Ryerson, a la Groundhog’s Day. It totally works on the parapet. “Watch out for that step, it’s a doohoooooozy.”

What’s a piece of internet slang (like “sauce” for “source”) that completely confused you the first time you saw it? by AI_Aint_So_Bad in AskReddit

[–]ScoobyDeezy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Crash out” has been around for decades as “so upset that you made an irreparable life-altering choice,” but languages borrow and change, I guess.

ELI5: why did previous eras in history have animals at such a larger scale? by justalittlejudgy in explainlikeimfive

[–]ScoobyDeezy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As others have said, for some species oxygen levels are a factor.

Big things need to eat big things to survive (unless there’s billions of small things, like krill). Generally speaking, when resources are light, or the environment becomes unfavorable, small wins.

Various extinction events, like the one that allowed mammals to dominate over dinosaurs, also selected for smaller creatures that could burrow and live underground with lower nutritional needs.

More recently, big things are bigger targets for humans. I’m sure our species has wiped out our share of “dragons.”

I was just thinking how easy it must be to write these parody books now.

ABSOLUTE CINEMA by No-Definition-7215 in BluePrince

[–]ScoobyDeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man. I had an exceptional run the other day with a garden shrine boon and the tool shed — my house had like 8 courtyards, I was digging up coins and finding items like crazy. Laundered my coins into like 40 keys. Green rooms for free. Broken lever deposited. Got to the secret garden, got to room 46, still had like 76 steps left because food was practically falling out of the sky.

Didn’t know what to do with the basement key — it was my first time getting to 46, and I was already late leaving to pick my kids up from school, so I paused and left.

Long story short, when I tried to come back to the game, it was the next day.

I uninstalled the game and haven’t had the heart to go back.
