It also had the perfect "i am awake way past planned bedtime" vibe.

God damn that was a fantastic video. A tight 2 minutes with no fluff. Just beavers straight up being awesome.

It was actually cute lol

You guys aren't getting the randomest videos with just 1 or 2 views in your recommended sometimes?

[–] Indivisability9559@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No? Most of my recommendations are popular shit I hate. How can I get more obscure recommendations?

I love beavers.

Who doesn't love beavers? They are a major keystone species of the environment. Beaver ponds force more water to the aquifer, helps the local area survive droughts, and provide new aquatic homes. Beavers will create little irrigation canals that helps water local areas.

Conservatives hate wetlands, so they also hate beavers. I wish I was kidding or grossly oversimplifying, but it's the truth.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

They are amazing! Ended up watching the video twice.

post10 claims not to hate beavers, but there are reasons to doubt that.

Beavers are like the spiders in your bathroom at 3 am. Yes you are useful but not in this context.

I watched that when it had under 1000 views, and I'm about to watch it again because it was sooo good!

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Beavers are awesome, they're also have the unfortunate combination of being cute and territorial. They're quite dangerous, so if you ever spot one, give it space.
