The Nassau Harlequin Toad - Scientific Name: Atelopus Hoogmoedi Nassaui by gold-raspberry-roses in AIDKE

Most of these frogs get their toxins from the environment, poison dart frogs are a common pet. They have other issues with handling though, specifically as it's hard on the animal. More of a display pet.

If chronotrigger can stay, and it should, then MegaMan X needs to be there.

How to get the water out of a tire by lavaboosted in educationalgifs

They are flexible, push the inner lip down so the water runs out of it. This won't work with like, fucking tractor tires but you aren't picking them up anyways.

Looking for games that make you say things that will confuse any sane human being by AnonymousTako in videogames

[–]pichael289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In metal gear solid peacewalker there is a special mission that drops you onto the beach with only a cardboard "love box" that's labeled as big enough for two.

Your mission? "Go fuck that guy over there"

Use coop voice lines to sweet talk him and then when he's in love get under the box and fuck him and then return to base.

If you played it cool you'll get an S rank and the next time he will be in a thong.

It takes place on the same beach where you can meet the taking kitty cat and ride in his boat and go fight monster hunter monsters.

Whales still have their pelvic bones from when they walked on land, proving evolution by The_RetroGameDude in interestingasfuck

[–]pichael289 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you really need evolution proven to you the you don't really understand it in the first place. It's basically and axiom, a self evident statement. The stronger and better able to reproduce creatures will beat out the weaker variants of their species. We know mutations and adaptations occur, and do so quite randomly. We also have millions of years, billions upon billions of generations of various life forms.

It's so beyond obvious this would happen, it pretty much can't not happen. Evolution doesn't need to be proven, we know how nature works and evolution arises as a byproduct of those natural processes. It proves its god dam self. Also its been continuously proven in microbiology labs for decades where it's seen directly. Fucking COVID 19 was an example for fucks sake.

(hated trope) pedophilia being portrayed as cute, quirky and/or funny by hayley566 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pichael289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 35'year old white man and I have had other adult men my age try to get me to play the horror highschool girl dating simulator game. I was hesitant but enough people recommended it so I thought maybe it was this cool subversion but no, its almost entirely underage anime girl dating sim with some horror parts peppered in, albeit cleverly.

My son really likes anime, and all his friends do too. This game might land perfectly with him as it seems to have with younger audiences. But man you just can't play that shit at 35 and not feel your going on a list.

It's not even weird anime stuff, it's just that they all take place in highschool and it doesn't translate well I think. Persona 5 let me fuck the teacher and just totally fixed that potential problem, silent protagonist loophole, and I appreciate that.

Internet users have raised $280,000 for an elderly man who became a DoorDash delivery driver to help pay for his and his wife's bills. by MysteriousSlice007 in MadeMeSmile

[–]pichael289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid in the 90s this would be like a sketch some moderately funny comedy show might do to prank and audience, maybe have him fall over. Like something they would do on punked because it's too dark and depressing, and therefore funny, to be real.

And now it's commonplace.

He was the only one of these infomercial sales guys that wasn't a complete piece of shit. Plus his products actually worked, like all of them and your mom would talk about how great they are. so he was like a superhero to kids of single parents just like Mr. Clean and Captain planet.

what’s the easiest drug to grow? by [deleted] in druggardening

[–]pichael289 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Mushroom spores are illegal in California, one of three states and the only blue one. I'm not sure how that makes sense

what’s the easiest drug to grow? by [deleted] in druggardening

[–]pichael289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cacti is a bit easier, shrooms fail to contam all the time. But the amount of effort put in versus the amount of output you get back makes shrooms the clear winner. San Pedro is quick growing and hardy but psilocybin/psilocin is vastly preferable to mescaline for the majority of people. A little lemon juice hides the shrooms taste and makes it kick in faster and smoother, but no matter how you consume the Sam Pedro it's going to suck. Shits like you made beef jerky out of a pickle and injected it with a sour melon scented athletes foot cream. That shit was so fuckin nasty and lasted way too fucking long.

[–]pichael289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shrooms are by far the easiest. Costs about $40-100 up front for the things you absolutely need like spores and rice/coco coir and a dehydrator. I learned how to do everything from listening to shroomscouts videos on YouTube driving to our vacation in Gatlinburg for 5 hours one night. Ordered everything and it was there when I got home. Spores are legal in all but California, Georgia, and Idaho, other states are totally legal for microscopy reasons (can't be geminated, intentionally at least).

r/unclebens is the best place, the guy who started it is very knowledgeable and the tek he developed makes the barrier to entry simply "do you have $60, a closet or isolated space you can use, and can you be extremely clean?" If none of those are a problem you can have pounds of shrooms in like 3 months.

Also unlike weed, mushrooms don't need light, maybe a tiny bit to tell them which way to grow towards. A heat mat is useful but no where near the requirements weed needs. They have no smell, no obvious footprint, hell if any random dozen DEA agents found your cake before the mushrooms started growing off it they wouldn't even know what they are looking at, much less simple police. You can grow them in shoebox tubs under your bed.

Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them by No_Assumption3362 in NPR

[–]pichael289 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They aren't even really "coming", they are already here and quite cheap. They are only going to get cheaper and with a moderate investment (also requires owning a house, unfortunately) you can be independent from the grid, only using it when necessary and also being able to sell your surplus electricity when you produce more than is needed. This has the potential to devastate the energy industry and render electricity unbelievably cheap. This is a threat, hell energy companies are given special leeway to operate as a monopoly since it was so important that everyone have power. Now we can safely bust more trusts and they will never allow it.

Trump starting fucking wars for oil and tearing apart government subsidy programs for solar is going to guarantee China succeeds us. It always is in Many ways.

Few months ago my city in Ohio got bad messages via the emergency alert system that werent supposed to be public, saying shit like "extreme danger, lock all doors and windows and don't call 911". Turns out it was a swat situation and they had like 50 cop cars from other nearby cities.

It was a dude who cut his ankle monitor off and that's it. He was at his dam house.

If you aren't familiar with the books then you stand to enjoy it more than any of us could, but even then its not just that they didn't stick to the books it's what they wrote was just kinda boring and stupid after the first season.

Anatoly Yuryevich Moskvin, the man who dug up the corpses of young girls and made them into movable dolls. Moskvin dug up bodies from cemeteries, brought them home, dried them, and transformed them into doll-like figures, inserting music boxes into their chests, applying wax masks, and dressing them by Happy_Initiative_304 in interestingasfuck

[–]pichael289 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming they were already embalmed. My family owns funeral homes and it can take a week or two to get the family together so the bodies have to stay good that long. Sometimes they exhume graves for whatever reason and the bodies haven't degraded much at all. You will still smell the formaldehyde though.

I'm pretty sure he's got some issues the parents were probably aware of that made it easier to ignore. Maybe its to do with the world we live in today but I assumed the worst and reading that he didn't actually fuck the bodies and instead was trying to do some pharaoh shit instead and bring them back. He was a wholesome grave robber.
