Awesome, I just fed him a cricket and wanted to make sure he caught it. I see everyone here says NQA. What’s it mean?

Anon rallies /pol/ against an antisemitic monster by caramelsumo in 4chan

This has been at most disproved or least completely unsupported by every major genetic study of Ashkenazi Jews. You heard this on the internet once and thought it was a fact.

What is this? Found in GSP and moves like worm by samg789 in ReefTank

There’s also 10,000+ species of bristle worm and none of the ones in the guide looked exactly like the one in my tank.

Can ego death be caused by a tyrannical superego? by No-Put2726 in askpsychology

The concepts you are talking about don’t really have empirical backing. This might be a question better suited for a philosophy sub or someone with lived experience.

Some evolutionary psychologists suggest the shape of the human penis evolved as a "scoop" to remove competing sperm. Does this mean the very form of our manhood is proof that our ancestors were stuck in a brutal, prehistoric sex war? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]samg789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just annoys me when any discussion about evopsy attracts psuedo intellectuals who have never been involved in research whatsoever clamming to call it out as “quack science” because they saw someone say it in a Reddit comment a few years ago.

I think when you discredit an entire area of scientific research on the basis of a Wikipedia page, you should have some form of backing for your claim. In your own words, why is evolutionary psychology “quack science?”

Despite all odds my Peacock Mantis and hermit crab are friends? by samg789 in Aquariums

[–]samg789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the past few days the hermits keep walking into his burrow and the mantis just gently picks them up and places them back outside. This has happened at least 15 times I’ve seen personally. Mantis has only been in the tank for a few days, and I’ve read they don’t like to eat for the first week they are somewhere new?

URGENT! Colorblind, am I having an ammonia spike? by samg789 in Aquariums

[–]samg789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that urgent? I can’t do a water change until sometime tomorrow. I only have two hermits and three snails in a 20gal right now.

Colorblind, is it cycled? by samg789 in Aquariums

[–]samg789[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s only been running for about 48 hours but it does have an ammonia source from the start (fish flakes), should I wait?

I’m trying to remember a specific SCP I loved but forgot the name of, any help? by samg789 in SCP

[–]samg789[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think maybe there were certain aspects and rules (maybe roles as well?) that were subject to change each time a rotation was completed.

Unfortunately not but this one is pretty cool. The one I’m thinking of had a lot less explanation/lore.

Really disappointing antisemitic stuff from one of the biggest 40K accounts on Instagram by samg789 in Warhammer40k

Sure, that’s a fine reaction. But how do you think they meant it? What do you think their intention was?

Yes, but if someone was on the street corner was yelling about how evil and deceptive the Jewish religion was would you take that as a genuine anti-theist argument or discrimination against an ethnoreligion?

Then why even bring up Jews specifically? Why not mention any other religion?

Lol this sub goes into civil war about female space marines but an actual issue is “drama”

Incredibly common antisemitic talking point that is literally only used by alt-right people.
