do you ever get so annoyed at everything that you start to get pissed off at even little things like a spoon clinking against a bowl or sounds of people talking Ā 

I think itā€™s called sensory overload. Itā€™s really common in people with anxiety

it can also be a result of sleep deprivation, stress, or ever dehydration !!

thanks i thought i was just a bitch

Itā€™s ironic.

When I worked in fast food for minimum wage, they would yell at us and lecture us about ā€œstealingā€ fries and burgers (while we had to throw out TONS of food every day) as though the giant billion-dollar corporations of McDonaldā€™s and Sonic couldnā€™t afford to give their employees something to eat (while not even paying us a living wage).

Now I work at an upscale restaurant (itā€™s fancy, like celebrities eat there fairly often) and not only do I make WAY better money but they give us 2 free meals a day (eaten on the clock) and theyā€™re GOOD. Today I got baked cod, spring rolls, rice pilaf, stir fry, and mashed potatoes and eggplant. Oh, and free espresso and juice. From this restaurant owned by a local man who is in no way a billionaire.

Obviously money is not the issue, valuing your employees as people is.

TheĀ Titanoboa, is aĀ 48ft longĀ snake dating from aroundĀ 60-58million years ago. It hadĀ a rib cage 2ft wide, allowing it to eat whole crocodiles, and surrounding the ribcage were muscles so powerful thatĀ it could crush a rhino.Ā Titanoboa was so big it couldnā€™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.

Iā€™m so glad they arenā€™t around

omg me too. Iā€™m scared enough of 26 ft long anacondas. Iā€™m so happy Megalodons, those giant sharks, arenā€™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: ā€œ12 fucking feet?!?! Ā Iā€™m fucking glad itā€™s extinct!ā€Ā 

Dude, prehistory was home to some fuckingĀ TERRIFYINGĀ creatures. For some reason, everything back then was enormous and scary. Extinction doesnā€™t always have to be a bad thing!

And Poppy, what you saw was an arthropod known asĀ 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 isnā€™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 ISNā€™T STILL AROUND? LURKING? EVOLVING? WE DONā€™T. WE DONā€™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 THATā€™S NORMAL. FUCK THE OCEAN.

this is so relevant to my interestsĀ 

It wasnā€™t just the predators. North Carolina was once home to giant ground slothsā€¦

THAT IS A GODDAMNED LEAF-EATING SLOTH.

Weā€™ve got a skeleton of one of these fuckers at the museum downtown, and man, just being NEAR it is unsettling.

DONā€™T FORGET PREHISTORIC WHALES, SOME OF THOSE FUCKERS WERE TERRIFYING

AMBULOCETUSĀ 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 THEREā€™S MY FAVORITE,Ā ZYGOPHYSETER,Ā 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, donā€™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 havenā€™t found signs of its extinction

scientists: ā€œwe havenā€™t seen a megalodon in quite some time now, letā€™s just hope itā€™s exstinctā€

Sometimes I feel like if I ever lost him, I would be so lost, and he would be okay. I feel like I care so much more than he does. I'm so much more affectionate than he is. I'm more verbal and physical and emotional. It scares me, like we're getting married I shouldn't feel like he doesn't care enough. I shouldn't feel like I bother him when I text him, or like he rolls his eyes every time I call him. I shouldn't feel like this but I do. It's almost three in the morning and we had this big fight and he's sound asleep and I can't sleep and I feel like that says a lot. I love him, so much. But I am so scared.

It's been two months since we last talked and I just hope you're doing well. You've been on my mind a lot these last few days and I even had a dream about you. I saw some guy at work that reminded me so much of you. I want to text you but there are so many reasons why I shouldn't so I figured this would do. I miss you so much and I really hope you're doing well.

hereā€™s a quokka itā€™s like someone decided to splice together a wallaby and a teddy bear they literally always look like a benevolent cartoon

i donā€™t think you can get more wholesome than that adorable lil seed-eating smiley face. theyā€™re not even like dolphins, cute on the outside and evil on the inside. theyā€™re herbivores about the size of a cat. there is nothing wrong with them.Ā 

The Springhaas, orĀ ā€œirl pikachuā€ as it is sometimes known, is basically a rat shaped like a bunny abruptly caught in the middle of trying to evolve into a kangaroo. This is why they tend to look startled.

This is a dik dik. They are tiny antelopes from southern and eastern Africaā€“seriously so smol. With teeny hooves and teeny horns and big soulful eyes. And the name is fun to say. It comes from the alarm call that the females make. They live together in monogamous pairs.Ā

a sichuan takin bull and his daughter

often the color of donald trumpā€™s hair and looking like a cross between a bison and a guinea pig, the takin is actually a bloody big goat-antelope. they have splendid noses, a natural smile, and share their habitat with pandas. which should be good enough for anyone.

This is an okapi. They are related to giraffe, can lick their own eyeballs and kind of always look like you just asked them for a ride to the airport but look at those ears and the little striped legs ~(*^*)~

This is an aye-aye. They have super long forefingers that they use to tap on wood and they listen for insects with those adorable oversized ears of theirs. They always look surprised. Theyā€™re related to lemurs and you can actually see one in Madagascar (King Julianā€™s counsellor, Maurice).

The Maned Wolf ( Chrysocyon brachyurus)

I mean, look at those legs!

markings of a fox, named for a wolf, but really neither. it is the largest canid in south America. my fav

the honduran white bat makes cuts into leaves to turn them into tents, where they huddle together to hide from predators and rain.

The lilac-breaster roller

Super pretty birds, found in sub-saharan Africa. The males scream while going into a full head-dive towards the ground as a mating call.
