SARCOPHILOUS

Medieval island: Le Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France.

Well I've play enough RPG's to know that this is the town you go to to buy gear and potions, find side quests, and sometime is essential to the main quest.

the problem with horror now is there is no men in little tank tops and booty shorts

also some of you may have picked up on this, but the reason that the cheetah’s closest modern relative is a family of cats on an entirely separate fucking continent is that… drumroll please… cheetahs actually evolved in North America!

B-DM TSCH!

about nine million years ago in North America, cheetahs and pumas split off from the rest of the small-cat lineage together and evolved into their separate groups! different species of now-extinct ancient cheetahs thrived in North America for millions of years, streaking across the prairies and clobbering the everloving shit out of any herbivore too slow to get out of the way.

(this is why the North American pronghorn antelope is actually the second-fastest land animal alive today, despite not having any current predators even vaguely in their speed range! once upon a time, not that long ago, they had to dodge a prehistoric cheetah that could pull highway-level speeds.)

cheetahs were successful enough that they even made it out of North America and into Eurasia via the Bering Land Bridge, only making it to Africa after conquering their way across the steppes!

but things changed, as they always do, and global climate disruption led the the extinction of all cheetah species except the one in Africa, effectively terminating the entire cheetah dynasty.

do they remember? I hope so.

pumas are doing JUST FINE, though! guess there’s something to be said for being a mid-sized hypergeneralist predator in the face of global change.

I am abt to lose my fuckin mind because I happened upon this gender reveal party. and like it’s soo over the top expensive

And like I’m like. Oh great, a horse themed gender reveal party.

complete with like … just truly excessive foods and of course, themed cocktails

and this sign which like… the fragility of like *not* italicizing the word ‘colt’. Like imagine being this weird abt gender

with like, a bucket that eventually ‘revealed’ the gender

But like… the picture that really just completely undid me, for this party which surely was more money than many weddings -

it’s not a horse themed gender reveal party. It’s a gender reveal party FOR A HORSE. I can’t even like imagine the life that would lead to hosting a gender reveal party for a not-yet-born horse. Think abt getting an invitation to this. the cis are at it again.

This horse is having her own special day and you treat her like this

For a second I was very scared that the name choices were Colt or Filly.

Horse people live in their own universe 

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN FUCKING SAYING

Chad wisdom teeth

Wisdom tooth impaction is a very recent phenomenon starting mainly as a problem after the Industrial Revolution.

Wisdom teeth are impacted due to diminishing jaw strength during a human’s development; crucially during a human’s toddler years when the child’s jaw is developing the fastest. Most children are raised on soft food and humans continue to eat primarily soft foods for most of their lives.

I can’t find it currently, but there was a study in a dental journal published in the last few years that compared jaw-room/strength between urban and rural children in Ireland in the 1880’s(?) and children today. Overall modern children have smaller room in their mouths and their jaws are smaller than children of the same age in the 1880’s(?). But there was also a contrast between urban children and rural children in Ireland. The urban children, on average, had smaller mouth room versus their rural counterparts due to the urban children having greater access to processed foods while children in the rural areas ate raw/harder foods more often and a stronger jaw was developed during their formative years.

If you want to help prevent a weak jaw and the later issues of misaligned teeth and impacted molars, regularly introduce harder/tougher foods to them at a young age.

glad to know incel jaw has a scientific precedent and that the solution is to feed my toddler beef jerky

well, that explains a lot. my wisdom teeth are fully erupted and interlocking and I grew up poor and rural and eating somewhat questionable foods.

give your baby chorizo seco to chew on

Tumbler User: I specifically didn’t tag this so no one would find it why does it have 200k notes? Who the hell are these people following me? All of you need to go away so I can go back to posting incomprehensible garbage and pictures of frogs.

Entelodont (Hell pig) art doll. 

This is my part of an artdoll trade with awesome and very talented hikigane.creatures - https://www.instagram.com/hikigane.creatures/

who made an amazing Cockatrice for me!<3 She said that she would love to get a doll based on a prehistoric animal - Entelodont, and I was pretty excited to work on it!  Entelodont  is a large prehistoric pig-like mammal with big chunky teeth, stumpy body, and huge heads. In truth, it was quite difficult to not go crazy with fantasy design because I wanted to save  that monumental laconicism and a certain roughness of prehistoric animal’s shape (I hope I succeeded). Since the fur I chose for him is non-stretching + it has a pretty short neck, its head rotation is rather limited, also his little tail can be posed a bit. I so enjoyed working on this little furious pig. And I’m very happy about this doll trade!
