Illustrations Show Size Difference Between Prehistoric Animals and Modern Descendants

I reblog this every time I see it for those two sharks that look like they’re absolutely dishing about the last several million years.

Several million years ago, when I was in high school, I made a DnD setting with Paraceratherium in it. Because I was young and foolish and ignorant of player behavior, I had stats for if you fought one, but put no thought into what would happen if you tried to ride one or keep it as a pet.

Ok ma'am have you tried jacking it off and on again

TIL In an epilogue at the end of the original 1931 Dracula film, Dracula breaks the fourth wall and taunts the audience, saying vampires are real and to be afraid. In a 1936 re-release, this was censored by the Hays Code, out of fear it would encourage belief in the occult.

think about how many people have died because they took out the warning

recently at a bar someone told me i seem like id have a lot of pdfs

y'all ever think about how insane the sauropods were

this is a leg off of Argentinosaurusof them and its already the size of a two story house like LOOK at the size of these fuckers

the fact that any land animal ever got to be as large as this is insane. this shit is only beat by fucking whales, creatures that dont have to support their weight on legs

To be honest I don't understand how these things were able to, like, move or breathe or anything with how heavy they must have been

This thing would have been MUCH scarier than T. rex cause like look at it

Actually they were a lot lighter than you'd think for their size, they were FULL of air sacs specifically to make them lighter. They moved by having really, really straight legs so the weight was transferred straight down into the ground, and they walked on cushioned pads just like an elephant. Their lungs were sort of constantly cycling air around because otherwise it wouldn't be much good, and the whole point of having a really really long neck was specifically that they didn't need to move much!!!!

Like, they're incredibly unspecialised herbivores who just ate everything and let the gut handle it (hence why they had to get so big, just because they had to fit A LOT of gut in there) like their mouths were basically just Rakes.

This thing was built to sweep its head from high to low to near to far and rake in everything it could eat. By evolving a long neck it basically meant it was giving itself a huge range of motion to eat with but also being VERY energy-efficient because moving your legs takes a LOT more energy than just. Tilting your neck up and down, especially at that size. So this thing was basically built to be incredibly, INCREDIBLY energy efficient, light and weight-spreading for its size.

Blue whales sort of practice a similar feeding style, where because they're so Big and need so Much food, they just sort of went "ok im just going to take in AS MUCH food as possible as efficiently as possible" and the thing is. Using baleen takes 0 effort really other than opening and closing your mouth. Which is why whales can grow to be really big. See in the ocean weight matters less, so you can afford to just have a big mouth, but land animals have to do it differently.

Being Big isn't just a case of having lots of food available. It's about being as Efficiently able to eat it as possible. Hell, i mean elephants basically evolved the same thing, except they've just given themselves really long noses rather than necks. It means the elephant can stay in one spot while still reaching huge amounts.

Idk if you actually wanted answers, but, well, here they are.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

im going INSANE thats MY POST.

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.

nap in the sun ☀️

peace at last.

no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

this post is doing the rounds again and I just wanted to say now that i’m in a long term loving relationship i know more than ever that this is true. you cannot live on romantic love alone, one person cannot fulfill you, community is the key to a happy life, surrounding yourself with friends and family that love you will only make your relationship with your partner stronger and it’s so important to have people who see your relationship from the outside and who you can confide in other than just your partner. as well as this you i truly believe you cannot have romantic love without a strong friendship, my boyfriend is honestly my best friend and that is what holds us together, romance ebbs and flows but a strong friendship is what will help you through the hard times and ground you and it’s where the real intimacy trust and loyalty comes from

I cannot stand these reactionary Christian bitches

And this is, actually, why US conservatives Love Israel So Much and are so determined to back Israel to the hilt. It's not because they like Jews! Or Israel for its own merits as a nation!

They genuinely, honestly, truly, deeply, want to bring about the end of the world. (And they ... seem to think that Jesus needs their help to make it happen.)

They have this extremely detailed road map for what the end of the world is going to look like, called Rapture theology. Now, the thing about Rapture theology is that ... it isn't actually very Biblically based. It's pretty obviously a case of the creator of it (John Nelson Darby) coming up with an idea and then trolling through his Bible for verses that he could claim supported it. But people who believe in it believe it is the only possible way for the Bible to be interpreted. It's the cornerstone of their belief system. And it is fucked up. On multiple levels.

At its most basic level, it states that the True Believers (i.e. them) are going to get beamed up ("raptured") to heaven, where they can watch in safety and comfort as Earth literally goes to hell and is destroyed and all the people who were "left behind" get tortured for all eternity. Now, you may think, "but isn't that what all Christians believe?" and the answer is, no. All Christians want to get into Heaven, but that doesn't necessitate Earth being destroyed. And even if you believe God is going to eventually destroy the Earth, that doesn't mean you believe in all the rest of the things that go along with Rapture Theology. And those steps are a doozy. There's some really vile things in there.

Relevantly to Israel, before the Rapture happens the Temple Mount has to be "cleansed," and the Temple rebuilt. This will cause a war between Jews and Muslims; Muslims will wipe Jews out, and then God will wipe out all Muslims for killing his chosen people. They believe that God wants the Jews to be wiped out, but also that God will kill anyone who does it, and so goading Muslims into doing it will keep Evangelical Christian hands clean while enacting God's will. For this reason, Evangelical American Christians have poured a LOT of money in the last few decades into the coffers of the furthest-right-wing Israeli politicians and religious leaders. Not because they like them, but because they are hoping to trigger a genocide, which will then trigger a second genocide, that one perpetrated by God.

These two genocides will be the beginning of the End Times and thus result in them getting beamed up to Heaven so they can watch and gloat as everyone who isn't them gets tortured and killed and sent to Hell.

So yeah. Evangelical Christians are pro-genocide, as long as it's the right genocide.

I saw someone be like "It's still as good a time as ever to take a risk and make your indie game into a breakout success, just look at Lethal Company!"

Let's just be clear that "massively unpredictable viral success making an ungodly amount of money" does not equal "realistic and attainable benchmark" for almost any other indie dev.
