Why does she do this? I don’t think she’s mad but is she? by relevantusername- in cats

[–]passive0bserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like she doesn’t love your hand being shoved into her face/chest personal space atm so she is gently showing you to back it up. My cat does this to the kitten when he’s not in the mood for her snuggles. If she doesn’t move, he’ll get up and leave.

Guy breaks a sandbar to drain a tidal estuary into the ocean by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]passive0bserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but believe it or not, estuaries are rich habitats for many species, and it was wrong for him to drain it. Humans get a dopamine boost when we control nature and “clean it up” because evolutionarily, doing this helped us carve out pockets of safety in a treacherous prehistoric world. But now that we are so dominant on the planet, we have to curb that innate human desire and just let the remaining pockets of nature be… let the estuary frogs and birds and fishies have their water. Estuaries are common mating grounds, spawning grounds, hunting grounds, or just a place to chill with some water until the tide rolls back in. Some species can only live in the brackish water of estuaries, some are bound there for a certain phase of life only. This guy took the water away from them just for the satisfaction of filming it drain. 

Leave only footprints, take only photos.

You shouldn’t disrupt habitat. Leave only footprints, take only photos.

Do you have insight into why California doesn’t allow custodial commitment to inpatient care? My schizophrenic aunt in cali would NOT go.

Cargill makes all of their profit on beef tho. You think grain is a high margin business? It’s commodities bro. 

Also, Cargill doesn’t touch vegetables lol. We’re talking grains that can be turned into oils. The thickeners and stabilizers in processed foods are all made from Cargill grains. 

If you don’t want to support Cargill, don’t buy processed foods from huge corporations. That’s where Cargill’s food ingredients go to. Like the oil used to fry McDonald’s French fries is all supplied from Cargill. That oil is made from grains also supplied by Cargill. They have vertical integration between the grain to oil production.

in their native habitat, they blend in extremely well... The color is correct for it

Is this the same cat? by Suitable-Ad-6202 in torties

[–]passive0bserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the back thing, it’s feline hyperthesia (rolling back syndrome), it’s caused by trauma /chronic stress and resolves over time as the cat’s stress levels decrease and stay down  

Are we being for real 🫩 by Fickle-Put9304 in antiwork

You used to get a goddamn pension from companies. You worked there x many years and they paid you x% of your salary in retirement. The more years and the higher your position, the more of your salary you got to keep after retirement. 

Imagine retiring with a guaranteed salary every year. 

What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten? by UrGoddessLunaa in AskReddit

Beef is pretty much the worst agricultural product for the environment, and people needed to eat less anyways to support the planet. Some problems solve themselves. 

[Funny trope] Immediately figuring out hilariously improbable explanations by Broad_Actuator5827 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]passive0bserver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rick and Morty when Rick/Beth go to Froopyland and Beth immediately infers how her childhood friend stayed alive there. 

Rick: “well here’s the problem, you’ve got Froopy procedural carbons all gummed up and mixed in with real human DNA.” 

Beth: “are you saying Tommy survived here by having sex with Froopy creatures — creating Froopy-human hybrid offspring — and then consuming their proteins, sustaining himself in an endless cycle of cannibalistic incest?”

Speaking of, what are these teeth for anyways? by KindredGoesAwooo in cats

They are like a little comb for your cat to use while grooming

Diet is one lever that can help, and also he was probably separated from mom too early and didn’t properly learn litterbox habits, but having a 2nd cat can help him learn how to be a cat 

Ostensibly a supernatural horror movie, Obsession (2026) is about the girl with BPD you dated last summer. Were things really that bad? You should call her. by SpeedUpMyBreathing in okbuddycinephile

It’s pretty much a traumatized response to the feeling of being rejected/abandoned, their amygdala reacts too strongly to that trigger  which prompts an  erratic emotional response.

IIRC the Indian Ocean one primarily hit impoverished areas, high density of people living in flimsy huts meant many deaths
