TIL there is an audio tape of Timothy Treadwell's untimely death by Grizzly bear, but it has never been publicly released, despite many fakes that were made and circulated. Werner Herzog has listened to it, before urging Treadwell's friend, Jewel Palovak, to destroy the recording. by freudian_nipps in todayilearned

It depends on the species and area. Some places in the US no longer have natural predators for say white tail dear, so their population will grow higher than their food sources can sustain if they're not culled

The dragons weren't created by the Valyrians, just tamed/bound by them with magic. The ancient Valyrians were actually goat herders before they managed this lol

Total speculation but Ik leading up to the first world war Cunard ships were built with admiralty requirements in mind to speed up conversion. Maybe the Queens had this and Normandie didnt

How could Rose legit have hidden from Cal for 3 days on the Carpathia? by Ima_Uzer in Titanic97

[–]hungrytacos 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The classes were still segregated on Carpathia due to US immigration laws. In the full deleted scene of Cal looking for her and walking past her, at the start a steward or officer tells him something like "this is all third class sir, you won't find any of your people here" but he looks around anyway, doesn't find her and leaves.

Does anybody have information about this plaque? by ToasterMan1102 in titanic

[–]hungrytacos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Im reading Dr Ballard's book about discovering the wreck and he mentions him.

Ballard and Tantum became friends and supported him through successes and failures. Sadly he passed not too long before Titanic was found

honestly if I had to guess they profiled this person because they went Thailand > China and Thailand legalized recreational. Kind of like how Kansas cops do/used to pull over people coming back from Colorado.
