this doesn’t fit my blog at all but i had to post it here because this story is legit the wildest thing i’ve seen this month and everyone needs to see it. unmute this I PROMISE YOU WON’T REGRET IT
I love them so much because they’re about as sharp as a baseball and their anatomy is ridiculous to the point of them literally being classified as plankton for years because they just sort of get blown around by the ocean and look confused, but because they lay more eggs than ANY OTHER VERTEBRATE IN EXISTENCE, evolution can’t stop them
Why is no big predator coming and gnawing on them?
Their biggest defense is that they’re massive and have super tough skin, but they do get hunted by sharks or sea lions sometimes and they just sort of float there like ‘oh bother’ as it happens
Even funnier, because they eat nothing but jellyfish they’re really low in nutritional value anyway, so they basically survive by being not worth eating because they’re like a big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.
“…big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.” Perfectly perfect description. I now understand the very essence of this fish.
This is wonderful. To add a short thing, the reason they were considered plankton is because that definition relies on ability to move. Plankton are things that cannot more laterally in the water column of their own volition – only vertically. Mola Mola were considered plankton because they use their caudal and anal fins for locomotion and they’re not strong enough to propel the fish against the current.
Three of the four elements are represented in types of hockey; Air hockey (air), field hockey (earth), ice hockey (water). Fire hockey needs to be a thing.
All I can think of is Johnny Gaudreau wanting to light his stick on fire at the NHL All Star Game
“Don’t call Trump supporters nazis, it hurts their feelings.”
Yes, this is real (link to tweet). Yes, Tucker Carlson is literally repeating Nazi propaganda that aided the genocide of the Romani during the Holocaust. Yes, I am furious.
(Also, although there is a large population of Romani in Romania, they aren’t indigenous to Romania. They’re a diasporic group originally from northern India.)
Romani and Jewish have been screaming at the top of their lungs for years about neo-fascism in Europe, and Americans were totally aloof.
Then neo-fascism reared its head in America, but Roma and Jews were left out of the conversation in terms of people being impacted, because our oppression was “over.”
Now Tucker Carlson is on live TV using slurs and Nazi propaganda about Romani people, and I’m 90% most people on the left are just going to ignore it.
tucker carlson is no lie one of the worst humans speaking in the US today, but he gets a pass where ann coulter does not because he has a penis and a bowtie.
drag his ass by his justin beiber wig and speak up for Romani people.
The fuck is this. Come shit in my street and behead some chickens. Life could use more excitement.
