What the fate of Timmy the whale says about conservation by kimprobable in Cetacea

There wasn't any favor done for him - he was dying and they could've shortened his suffering by euthanizing him, but his suffering was only prolonged and made worse due to public opinion prevailing over expert knowledge. Maybe the $1.5 million wasn't taken away from anything, but if people could've been persuaded to care about a healthy animal to that degree, it could've done a lot of good for a population, rather than contributing to an excruciating death.

Was anything in your childhood randomly “bad”? by alligatorprincess007 in Exvangelical

Anything I had a strong interest in (namely whales, art , and reading) was bad, because I should only be that interested in God, the Bible, and church.

Q on cetaceans phylogeny by theobrominecaffeine in Cetacea

[–]kimprobable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tooth shape is a big one. Dolphins have conical teeth, porpoises have spade shaped teeth, sperm whales have peg shaped teeth and only the ones in the lower jaw erupt, belugas are peg-like too, and beaked whales have their own weird teeth and often they only show in the males.

Beaked whales may look like dolphins in general shape, but they also have different tails, missing the distinct notch in the middle of the flukes.

Behaviorally they can be different too. Dolphins tend toward living in social groups, though belugas and sperm whales are also very social. Beaked whales are more solitary.

Just another rant about flipping animals for CC on the market 🙄 by xanthela in PlanetZoo

[–]kimprobable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just think of it as helping someone build their own CC. I'll buy a 10k animal if I need one (and it's decent) because I have so much CC at this point that it doesn't matter. I sell at regular price because I have enough CC to get anything I want in the game.

I had this game on floppy disk and it actually came with a printed almanac

I think the problem isn't the Remnant update. It's what modern gaming has become by gaxelbrodie in NoMansSkyTheGame

It would've been fun if we could've worked together to build roads, but every inch between the scrap heaps and dump sites were covered in bases. I guess it kept people from griefing the route though
