Without mosquitoes many birds and bats (also both great pollinators) would die out :(

Most of it is all tied up together, and they have no ability or desire to look inward to parse those desires out. So they externalize and project everything outward making it our problem.

It's also why Grindr pops off every time a conservative rally is in a town. They hate the gays+theys, and also want to fuck them. Same same for powerful women.

Bees and butterflies don't pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc

Millennials, anecdotally, do get really mad at you if you bring up being part of the Zillenial cusp. I had a whole group of them freak out on me for it once and insist that no, I was a millennial only. It was weird.

I totally understand that! I have pretty small hands, so it doesn't frustrate me as much as maybe someone with bigger fingers. Cross stitching is super fun, definitely! I've got a whole set-up up in the ol' hobby graveyard closet lol

Picross here, though Sudoku makes its rounds

For me it's gotta be a documentary that's interesting but not toooooo interesting, you know? Something with a bit of intrigue to get my attention while I'm watching it, but my interest isn't high enough to keep me awake watching it.

Ancient history, history of languages, paleontology, true crime, fromsoftware lore videos, that kind of stuff will do it. Or, randomly, TomatoGaming vod streams will do it? He's not soothing at all, but it conks me right out, I don't get it.

Yes, very true! I almost added that when writing my comment, but didn't want to blather on too long in a comment about a meme haha

I mean, the ability to run long distances without tiring is kind of what makes humans an apex predator. We can out-endurance just about every other creature. Most ancient human hunting techniques involved just wounding an animal, and then literally chasing it until it got too tired to keep going.

Wolves are very similar, which is what made us such natural hunting companions. The co-evolution of humans and dogs is an extremely interesting rabbit hole, if anyone is looking for one.

All that to say, the wolf would understand the need to run more than just about any other animal. A bear would work better here. A wolf would just see us running and think 'game recognizes game', just like they already did eons ago :3

That made me chuckle, thanks for posting it. Kinda reminds me of a joke-phrase in American English that goes "If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass when it hopped."

How do you mean? Dinosaurs? They were warmblooded, so no, not just lizards. Usually in the rock around the fossilized bones are imprints of other features of the animal, like skin texture or the presence of feathers.

We can also tell a lot from the points where muscles attach to the bones.

That's not even accounting for the behavior we can interpret based on fossilized footprints! We're actually learning that T-Rex were pretty good parents for instance.

It's a very complex field, and it's amazing how much we can learn from so few clues.

Right, and that's why most people would believe this meme and take it as 100% truthful. The meme doesn't specify that that's the way we USED to do it, it says that's how it would be done

 

The pattern is this one! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-bear-hat-8

I made some adjustments, like starting with 8 rows of ribbing, then doing two kfb increases in row 9, before doing the rest of the pattern as described. I also picked up 10 stitches instead of 8 for the the ears, because of personal preference.

I was able to finish it in one evening, and I'm thinking of making another for his cousin that will be born just two months after him :)
