I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

It’s the same in Irish! bóín Dé!

in hebrew it’s “our rabbi moses’s cow”

Oh I love this news!!!!

Multiple cultures upon seeing a ladybug for the first time: “Who’s cow is this????”

the thing I love best about this is that we name ladybugs that way because to us, to humans, they seem like placid, lovely, easygoing creatures that help our agriculture and bring bright spots of peaceful color to our worlds. We call them variants on “blessed cows” (even in English the titular lady is the Virgin Mary) because they are insects that humans find rather wonderful.

But ladybugs are also voracious carnivores that feast on the hemolymph and carapaces of aphid and scale insect prey. They are often not particularly picky about the prey they hunt, but they are equally not especially fast or aggressive hunters; ladybugs tend to cast around for for aggregations of their much smaller prey and feast while the feasting is good. They may bull their way into a herd of aphids being tended by ants and destroy as many ants as necessary to fill their bellies with aphid. They often eat a lot of larvae and eggs, too, if they can find them, and of course they’ll browse on high-energy plant material if it seems convenient. At that size, of course, it tends to be pollen rather than sap or honey, but they’ll take what they can get. Ladybugs aren’t especially social, but they’ll certainly seek each other out and feed in proximity if food resources are great enough, as when aphid populations are booming.

What I’m saying is that from an insect perspective, ladybugs are really more like bears than cows. Even within that comparison, they’re more like bears slanted to the carnivorous side of the group than more herbivorous species. You know. Like a grizzly bear. Except also the bear is poisonous (which is why, after all, they’re colored like that: they’re telling birds to fuck off, that eating a ladybug is to be regretted immediately).

God’s favorite tiny little grizzly bears. ☺️

how long before the "outside agitator" tag gets added to the protests ongoing at unis across the US?

They started running that line days ago, but for bonus points make it an actually antisemitic conspiracy theory

"The Jews are behind the antisemitic protests" is some 4d antisemitic conspiracy theory blather

hereswhere

but everyone has to carry a photo id to vote now. Oh and there is no official government issue id card.

You can't get one. It's basically Driving licence, expensive passport or young Scot card. Good luck if you're older than 25 and broke and legally not able to drive.

On the bright side, that's not true! You can apply for free voter ID here and although it's now too late to apply for the elections in May 2024, you can still apply for ID to use in all other upcoming elections. And it's free. So there's no need to worsen the disenfranchisement problem voter ID requirements cause by spreading misinformation!

Not to be a Boomer but your social media should be your own space, not something employers are allowed to look at to judge you beyond the qualifications stated in your resume and cover letter

The other day my work had us take a social media survey about what social media platforms we’d be comfortable posting about our products on and I selected “I don’t use social media” before immediately coming over to Tumblr to dunk on them

Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".
