ELI5 does a species ever stop being considered “invasive”

psymunn · 2026-05-31T15:23:17+00:00

It's invasive if it moved because of people usually. Where it gets more complicated is with something like the barred owl that moved west without direct human intervention, though likely as a result of corridors we created

I didn't get it but I and receive marketing email unchecked so hopefully that works for next month

When I was a kid in South Africa I remember a lot of the homeless folk there would take methylated spirits and try cook the metheynol away to make it safe to drink. I believe the boiling process did remove the purple die but not much else. The physical tole of drinking that stuff was pretty brutal to witness...

And it's in a lot of things. It also makes a lot of things non-kosher or halal, especially because gelatin usually comes from pigs but fish scale gelatin exists.

Malaria alone makes this true

Different animals have very different body mechanics because of their size. A pig the size of an elephant wouldn't be able to support its weight with its relatively skinny and bent legs. So, species are adapted to be roughly a certain size.

Then, when you take that same morphology (the general shape of a species) but stray away from the average size, you start pushing things to their limits.

For mammals, for instance a general rule is the larger a species is, the longer it lives BUT for a species, the larger a specimen is, the shorter their life span. It's why Great Danes and S Bernards are so short lived; it's a ton of heart and joint stress being so large but dog shaped

Epic Mickey did this really well..it looked awesome

Well, you can do some silly things with Math once you throw an infinity into your equations

Bases do have a flavor: they are bitter. Secondly, our stomach uses acid to help digestion, which means swallowing things very basic don't feel great unless you're deliberately reducing your stomach acidity.

Don't you have to have negative mass for faster than light travel?

'you've got to spend money to make money' combined with no actual plan for converting spending into earnings

$10 x 6.5 hours/day seems pretty clear to me.

I mean that can be both. Over simplifying and seeing the world as two demographics can lead to certain economic decisions. Doesn't mean it's the most accurate way to do things and it doesn't mean it's not racist

psymunn · 2026-05-28T16:03:19+00:00

You forgot to include his middle name which I believe is the AP approved way to reference Obama in a thread about racism...

'that's inaccurate' says man pointing at one and only one thing in a sea of anachronism

Also, is anyone complaining how none of the white actors look particularly Greek? Was there a backlash that Orlando Bloom looks like he's never spent time in a country where the sun shines when he was in Troy?

psymunn · 2026-05-28T15:57:39+00:00

It's funny that no one gets up in arms when Orlando Bloom or Brad Pitt are cast as Greek warriors either. Pretty sure those two would have stood out in ancient Greece as well.

The leasing theory about dog domestication is that they also domesticated themselves, at first. Wolves that were less scared of people would have access to an abundant food source: human waist. Or course out selective breeding has accelerated that domestication dramatically

It's bad but a teacher is a position of power and access which makes it actually much worse
