/dog/ feeding:
Get the facts about the raw feeding myth. To date, no dog or human has experienced malnutrition or poor health because their food was cooked. If you buy premade raw food, you should cook it via sous vide or a pressure cooker (most quality kibble is pressure cooked so nutrients don't leach into oil/water).

Why are forests here (NE USA) so empty? I grew up in a thirdy world Asia and there were insects everywhere--beetles, grasshoppers, praying mantises, butterflies, dragonflies--and small animals like frogs, toads, and all kinds of birds. Every stream was filled with fish, amphibians, and sometimes crayfish.

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

If I'm ever forced to look after a cat I'm going to feed a vegan diet - not because I give a shit about animal agriculture but out of spite. It's about time they got a taste of their own medicine.

What the fuck is the deal with these birds? All night these assholes have been screaming at me
In the past, it was assumed that it was basically dry and "dead". without a significant number of living organisms that stand out for being multicellular, eukaryotic, and that carry out photosynthesis and bla bla.
Well, today it is said that the environment was more perished with a "proto-forest" (or lawn) with high quantities of plants and even small worms living in the ground
well paleoanons, can you give me some light???
>Utahraptor
>Imperobator
two medium-sized predators:
>Deinonychus
>Dromaeosaur
and a small, clever rascal:
>Troodon
Yes, they are a few tens of millions of years too late and are unlikely to catch up with mammals in intelligence. But do they really need to?
*Yes, I learned about Imperobator from that really questionably-scientific show made by a slopmaker from Disney. Don’t judge me, I'm not a professional paleontologist.

i'm obssessed with picking dead skin, i do it to myself but i have very little dead skin to pick, and then i noticed my cat's skin is a bit flakey, and upon scratching it discovered it's dandruff
so now whenever i pet my kot i always end up grabbing something like a toothpick and scratching off all the dandruff off it's back....
is it harming my cat? is there a way of doing without harming it?
sorry for being an autstic wierdo

Now how am i supposed to keep my dog from jumping into the leash when he goes defensive after some out of control mongrel starts barking at us?
A twisted, bizarre version of us, that's still not human, with an appearance that maybe is closer to us than their intelligence, which all in all is impressive compared to other animals, but still can't overcome the abyss between our minds.
I almost feel that I could have a basic conversation with one, or that they'd build a civilization, however primitive. But instead, at the end of the day, they're just another animal in the zoo, even if they're among the smartest
And I wonder what other hominids/hominins felt when seeing each other, and what does a bonobo or chimp feel when seeing us. We know that sapiens and neanderthals mixed, but they were close enough to be able to reproduce (and some men will fuck anything). Modern humans crossed paths with late erectus and earlier ancestors must've also seen other close cousins, who must've been in direct competiton. Needles to say, we're the only survivors

Is it merely due to more third worlders gaining access to the internet and thus pushing the worst, antiquated parts of their culture onto this site thinking it's the norm?
It's wild to think there's sharks out there old enough to watch mankind go from wooden vessels to metal behemoths chugging out smoke, to tin cans under the sea and being able to actively hear RADAR usage by humans and when that went online from their silent depths. All in a lifetime.
