Very important to see and share…
The Titanoboa, is a 48ft long snake dating from around 60-58million years ago. It had a rib cage 2ft wide, allowing it to eat whole crocodiles, and surrounding the ribcage were muscles so powerful that it could crush a rhino. Titanoboa was so big it couldn’t even spend long amounts of time on land, because the force of gravity acting on it would cause it to suffocate under its own weight.
I’m so glad they aren’t around
omg me too. I’m scared enough of 26 ft long anacondas. I’m so happy Megalodons, those giant sharks, aren’t alive either
Praise natural selection
I remember watching Walking with Beasts or something similar, or some British tv show about evolution
The subject was something like a 12 foot long water scorpion
I was so startled by its sudden appearance and narration that I yelped: “12 fucking feet?!?! I’m fucking glad it’s extinct!”
Dude, prehistory was home to some fucking TERRIFYING creatures. For some reason, everything back then was enormous and scary. Extinction doesn’t always have to be a bad thing!
And Poppy, what you saw was an arthropod known as Pterygotus (it was actually featured in Walking With Monsters). Not only was it as big (or maybe even bigger) than your average human, it had a stinger the size of a lightbulb. REALLY glad that bugger isn’t around anymore.
Also, Megalodon deserves to be mention again, because just hearing its name makes me want to never be submerged in water ever again.
GOD, I HATE THIS POST. HOW DO WE EVEN KNOW THAT SHIT ISN’T STILL AROUND? LURKING? EVOLVING? WE DON’T. WE DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SHIT DOWN THERE. THE OCEAN IS A PRIMEVAL HELLSCAPE NIGHTMARE AND WE ALL JUST DIP OUR STUPID FRAGILE UNPROTECTED FETUS BODIES AROUND THE EDGES OF IT LIKE THAT’S NORMAL. FUCK THE OCEAN.
this is so relevant to my interests
It wasn’t just the predators. North Carolina was once home to giant ground sloths…
THAT IS A GODDAMNED LEAF-EATING SLOTH.
We’ve got a skeleton of one of these fuckers at the museum downtown, and man, just being NEAR it is unsettling.
DON’T FORGET PREHISTORIC WHALES, SOME OF THOSE FUCKERS WERE TERRIFYING
AMBULOCETUS WAS AMPHIBIOUS AND PRETTY BADASS
BASILOSAURUS WAS THIS GIANT REPTILIAN CETACEAN THAT PROBABLY SWAM LIKE A DUMB EEL BECAUSE OF ITS TINY FLUKES BUT THIS FUCKER WAS 60 FEET LONG AND AT THE TOP OF THE MARINE FOOD CHAIN
AND THEN THERE’S MY FAVORITE, ZYGOPHYSETER, WHICH WAS THIS HUGE EARLY SPERM WHALE THAT ATE SHARKS AND OTHER WHALES
IT WAS NOTHING BUT TEETH
The reason why the animals in the prehistoric times were so big was because there was much more oxygen in the atmosphere if I recall correctly. Because there was so much oxygen and so few carbon gasses, life on earth was able to grow to terrifying lengths and heights, don’t forget how giant the bugs were.
I have never seen so much prime nope in a single post
Also important to note that megalodon is theorized to still be alive,possibly living in the darkest depths of the ocean. They haven’t found signs of its extinction
scientists: “we haven’t seen a megalodon in quite some time now, let’s just hope it’s exstinct”
All of my fears in one post.
Well, y'all can just rock me to sleep tonight.
This post made my skin crawl
i however am 100% ok with the giant sloths. everything else can go fuck itself

Here are a couple of amazing woman scientists and engineers from AsapSCIENCE and their instagram page! As a woman in science I feel the need to remind every girl out there how powerful and intelligent they really are especially because in the US we have a gross person for president who loves to downplay and degrade woman!

#for all the other white people who are angry: we have a lot of fucking work to do #do not forget that this was us #you may not consider yourself part of the problem because you are a woman/part of the lgbt community/disabled #but when this is our race as a whole- we are part of the problem #we will have the privelege of being heard by people who would never listen to any poc #time to scream #time to demand change #time to make racists afraid again #time to learn how best to use our privelege to help poc and other marginalized groups #our race is the problem so it is our responsibility to help build the solution
An Ontario Court judge wore a “Make America Great Again” hat in his courtroom the day after the U.S. election to mark president-elect Donald Trump’s “historic” victory, according to a source in the room.
Ontario Court Justice Bernd Zabel arrived at the John Sopinka courthouse in Hamilton on Wednesday morning wearing Mr. Trump’s signature campaign hat, according to the source, and addressed the numerous lawyers, police officers and defendants. Another witness in the courtroom did not dispute the details.
The incident has prompted an outcry from legal observers who say Justice Zabel’s political display undermines the public’s confidence in judicial impartiality. And they are particularly upset because Mr. Trump has made disparaging remarks about women and minorities.
“The clerk said ‘all rise’ and the door opens and Justice Zabel comes out. He is in a black silk robe with the crimson sash and the white tie. He has a poppy on his lapel. And he is wearing a scarlet-coloured baseball cap that says Make America Great Again. And we all stand because we are supposed to stand when the judge comes in and he looks at everyone and said he was wearing the hat ‘because last night was an historic occasion,’” the source told The Globe and Mail.
“He took the hat off and put it on the bench so everybody could look while he continued his court business. He didn’t put it away. It was sitting on the bench.” Mr. Zabel then came back with the hat after morning break, the source said.
This is white supremacy.
This is why so, so many people do not and cannot trust the legal system.
Contact judge Bernd E. Zabel:
Central West Region, Court House, 45 Main St. E., Hamilton, Ontario L8N 2B7
Phone: 905-645-5310
Fax: 905-645-5373
You can also contact Ontario’s attorney general:
905-645-5252
Okay, a point of clarification or two.
One, contacting the Ministry won’t help. The justices are independent. The Ministry just signs their paycheques.
Bernd Zabel is an Ontario Court Justice in the Central West Region.
His administrative Regional Senior is The Honourable Sharon M. Nicklas.
Her boss? Is found in the Office of the Chief Justice, The Honourable Lise Maisonneuve; Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
But if you actually want to *complain* about His Honour’s behaviour, contact the Ontario Judicial Council.
Thank you.

How are Complaints Processed?
If your complaint is about a judge: The Ontario Judicial Council will write to you to let you know your letter of complaint has been received. A complaint subcommittee, which includes a judge and a community member, will investigate your complaint and make a recommendation to a larger review panel.
