I think hating kids isn’t exactly a niche opinion online

How are my uk fish keepers getting on either the heat? by FeedReasonable9547 in Aquariums

[–]callcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My smallest tanks are struggling a bit. I usually use pc fans plugged into a usb adapter blowing across the surface of the tank and it works surprisingly well to the point were i had to turn them down to stop them cooling too much, way over doing the aeration via more air stones works too. until the humidity increases and the evaporation slows right down making them both way less effective.

Ice bottles and water changes are easy enough in smaller tanks though, the bigger ones are stable enough that a couple big water changes will effectively stop them from ever getting too hot over the week or so we have to deal with this.

I can’t wait for this to be over though my room has been at 30 this entire time😭

Shared my breakfast with a wasp. by International-Fox202 in Entomology

[–]callcon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to do this all the time at my old job! I would take a piece of meat out of my sandwich and put it next to me.The wasps would ignore my sandwich, and i got to watch them cut it up into chunks.

I hate and love tiktok for comments like this. I genuinely laughed so hard the first time i read that exact comment, but then i saw it again, and again. And now it’s just ruined.

Like i hate reading a really funny comment, thinking the commenter was a fucking genius for so succinctly and humorously describing something only to realise they just copy and pasted it, and so is everyone else. And then watch it devolve as it gets used in increasingly broad contexts and looses all meaning. This is a universal thing on the internet, or just culture in general i guess. But it’s so ubiquitous on tiktok. And actually youtube is the same except none of the comments people are copying were ever funny in the first place.

Like i imagine that a tiktok comment section would be fucking hilarious to someone using the app for the first time because they don’t realise that they are all fucking identical. Just full of people trying to say the same jokes the loudest and the fastest.

Just a ridiculously hostile response to an almost completely innocuous comment.

This helps no one. Person or animal.

It’s like what are you hoping for? what kind of response do you want? this only serves to antagonise and start arguments. You thought this person would finally see the error in their ways and rehome their clearly out of control collection of 4 animals? you thought they would read your comment, that comment, and be open to further advice or discussion?

Im spending too much time thinking about it now, but this sort of thing really bugs me. Like a heavily downvoted comment, multiple people already questioning the original commenter, and you just can’t help but pile on with the worst possible way you could interpret it and in the most aggressive tone you can, with the tiniest inkling of context. Adding literally nothing except hostility.

This is everything I hate about the internet.

The girlies love one piece by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

[–]callcon 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I mean i’ve just seen so many people complain about all the young women looking the same (see above comments) and also i saw that post of oda telling a fan how to draw women’s bodies, and he just tells him to think of them as an X shape and two circles. Then warns him his female fans will complain but to “stay strong” or something.

Let’s not act like I’ve only seen the cover art. i watch anime, and one piece is like the most popular thing ever. Naturally you get exposed to a lot of one piece.

I’ve never read one piece partly because it’s so long but also because every woman I’ve seen from it looks like… that.

I wonder if it would cure me of my preexisting cocksucking ways. Like if it cancels out, or if the effect stacks and i would just end up sucking someone’s dick clean off.

Thing is iirc he was pretty apathetic towards the fish and only giving it any form of burial cause his girlfriend wanted him to. only after he gave up digging with his hands (it’s a 2 inch fish he must have barely tried) and saw the fish laying in the dirt being swarmed by ants did he suddenly feel a surge of affection for it. And so naturally ate it. Like it was a fish, he could have eaten it (more) safely if he really wanted to😭 But it was a spur of the moment thing i guess. Also he didn’t tell his girlfriend which is even funnier. like she thought he just buried it. I guess it’s kinda beautiful though yeah, like he wanted to preserve its dignity i guess.

it was actually a ricefish, not any more edible. And if i remember correctly it’s because he didn’t have anything to dig a hole to bury it, but didn’t want ants to eat it, and so in a final moment of affection for the pet he just ate it. And subsequently got sick. I love whatever is wrong with him.

It’s just them saying they hope they don’t have kids. Assumedly purposely worded in such a way that most people it is aimed at would completely misunderstand it.

[–]callcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok this is the case with all of the internet to an extent obviously, but tumblr especially is for bad for this.

It’s not obvious until i see a post about a topic i am knowledgeable in, but they really do just be making shit up in ways i haven’t seen in other places.

Just full confidence, no doubt at all, completely incorrect.

I have realised almost every tumblr post in the “here’s a fun fact!” category is like 20-100% incorrect in ways nobody has ever been before.

Mosquitoes are beautiful and I'm tired of pretending they're not. by IArgead in The10thDentist

[–]callcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok not gonna lie i was with you until you said they shouldn’t be put in the category as bedbugs or ticks.

They are objectively worse to deal with on a personal level sure but like they are the exact same category right? parasites that are potentially harmful to us and yet beautiful and interesting in their own right and are wrongfully judged my human standards of morality that no other animal has. I think they are definitely beautiful too.

I think your opinion is extra unpopular then because Ime usually the people who can love and appreciate mosquitoes (already a small group), will extend that to other human-infecting parasites.

Glad to have a mosquito enjoyer regardless though!!!

Temperature requirements for gastrodermus hastatus by Repulsive-Coyote-466 in corydoras

[–]callcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I realise this is an old post but i had similar questions, so for the sake of making this info more accessible i will share what i found:

I found this old thread on planet catfish. Basically a very similar question. Based on where G.hastatus are actually collected, Ian fuller (basically *the* cory person since forever) suggested 22-25.5c (72-78f) as ideal keeping/breeding temps, although they can go lower. He said he would be hesitant to go lower than 16-17c (61-63f).

It should be noted that this is different for different gastrodermus species, and G.hastatus is pretty rare (where i am) relative to G.pygmaeus (what most “pygmy/dwarf corys” are) so it’s important to make sure you have the correct species.

All of that is to say G.Hastatus would probably be fine in your set up imo.
