Unsettling news: not only have scientists spent decades trying to confirm the existence of giant tree rats, now they’ve actually achieved that objective.
Welcome back to Mid-Week Meditations, Lifehacker’s weekly dip into the pool of stoic wisdom, and how you can use its waters to reflect on and improve your life.
We teach kids to fear animals like rats, snakes, spiders, etc. that are harmless 99% of the time but do we ever warn them about the real danger
WHY DOES IT HAVE TEETH ON ITS TONGUE
I am a gooseologist and I can tell you that geese live on a healthy diet of children’s souls which can only be properly chewed with unholy tongue teeth
i love how the ancestor of the modern housecat (the middle eastern wildcat) literally just looks like an angry tabby with more leg
we domesticated dogs because they wete useful but we domesticated cats because theyre beautiful.
we domesticated them because they eat disease-causing vermin
cats domesticated themselves because it’s easier than living alone
haha schooled losers
me: cats arent domesticated
It’s more fair to say cats domesticated humans. Generally we used them for pest control through out history as well as used them as cuddly pets. Cats who moved into early human settlements gets a lot more from just being around us.
-we worked like guard dogs. Where we were, larger predators were not. Not only did this increase the cat’s food supply from lack of competition but it kept kittens safe while mom hunted, a luxury not afforded in the wild.
-we were a food source. Mice, rats, and other rodents are great at hiding in the wild. They are much less good at hiding on clear ground or well lit granaries. So the dumb littler prey animals flocked to the early humans who gathered up their staple grains in big hard to seal silos. This was a buffet to cats. During lean times like winter, early humans were happy to toss their scraps and bones to the cute little predator who shared their space.
-humans provided ear scratches, very important.
-humans are waste disposal units. humans don’t like poop or hair balls and rotting bones just sit around. We are great at making dry buildings that keep the worst of nature at bay. Very comfy living space for kitty.
-They have learned to talk to us. Adult cats don’t meow at each other…. but they do meow at us. One of the only animals that have learned human only noises, they have learned that meowing gets our attention and makes us do things. Like work the can opener. Meow is less a greeting and more of a “high ho silver, lets get moving”.
“Humans provide ear scratches, very important” - I’m pretty sure that is the only reason my three keep me around…
All Steve wants is to draw birds in central park by the light of the setting sun while Bucky lies in his lap and this trash compactor has the nerve to act like Steve really wants to be standing here cleaning up Tony Stark’s garbage mistakes.
^This is the best MCU related sentence I have ever written.
No, I really shouldn't. None of those colors look good on me.
H&M has a plethora of affordable staple items, but it’s even better when they mark them down further. Right now, pick up this rib-knit sweater in Light Blue, Powder Pink, Orange, or Green for just $13. Or maybe just get all four and be set for fall.
Dale Hansen is a fucking treasure. He admitted he was a childhood victim of sexual abuse in the hopes that it would encourage others to come forward and seek help. He has been an ardent supporter of scholar-athletes and of gay players in the NFL and of trans athletes.
“I’m not always comfortable when a man tells me he is gay; I don’t understand his world. But I do understand that he is part of mine.”
Question: Where you around when Aquald/Kaldur was first introduced? Because I was, and I remember people calling him “Blaqualad” from the second his face appeared on the promo.
Not to mention many people had said he was going to die by the end of the season anyway. He was either hated or ignored once the show started, and once he took the position of leadership, a VERY popular trope was that he would die a glorious death so that Robin could take his “rightful place” as head of the team.
There are plenty of other examples. Take the hatred Miles Morales got (and still gets) even though both he and Peter have been able to exist together.
Take the hatred Riri Williams got during her introduction.
Most people are more than happy to erase Duke Thomas as one of Bruce Wayne’s “kids” despite the fact that he’s an original character who isn’t taking anyone’s mantel.
Cyborg has been criticized as “not belonging” to the Justice League since the beginning of New 52. Hell, if anything, ya’ll should be happy that Cyborg’s there, because now they don’t have to racebend a white person. But, nope.
Then there was Rue from the Hunger Games (played by Amandla Stenberg) who was black in both the movie and the source material, and yet people still went to twitter to express how they “couldn’t sympathize” with her anymore.
We’ve got Michael Burhnam, who’ll be leading the new Star Trek series and people are pissed off about a Black woman in the lead role.
Let’s not forget how the Star Wars fandom felt about having a “Black Stormtrooper” before anyone knew anything about who John Boyega was even playing.
If you were in the Glee fandom, you’ll probably remember how much shit Mercedes got for being just as ambitious as the rest of the Glee kids. And then of course, there were the people saying she didn’t “deserve” Sam Evans.
And then there’s the entire cast of The Get Down that is routinely slept on.
There are the people who demonize T’challa and call him selfish for wanting to Avenge his father (who by the way was the acting monarch of a nation, so T’challa’s quest for answers was also a way of preventing a political fallout.)
And I haven’t even mentioned Sam Wilson, James Rhodes, Mike Peterson, Luke Cage, John Stewart, Amanda Waller, Ben Sisko, or Ororo Munroe. I’ll give you a hint…all of those characters are crapped on and held to a ridiculously high standard that white characters aren’t held to.. .
So, instead of saying “Make your own original characters” instead, ya’ll can just say, “I don’t want Black people in my stories”

Donald Trump, a floating turd, finally started acknowledging the absolute devastation in Puerto Rico on Monday night, mainly by calling attention to the island’s debt, as though Hurricane Maria was just trying to collect. In his tweets, Trump neglected to mention how he has contributed to that debt to the tune of $30…
Staggering numbers of poor and black voters reported that Wisconsin’s voter ID law kept them from voting in the 2016 presidential election in a state that Donald Trump won by just one percentage point, according to a new study from the University of Wisconsin.
Apparently, it’s a worse offense for police to protest police extrajudicially executing black people than it is for police to extrajudicially execute black people.
Here we are why all cops are bastards. In order to be a “good cop” you are required to support white suppremacy or else you will get reprimanded.
in skyrim i married a homeless man and even though we are married and he lives in my huge fuckin house he still wears rags and asks me to give him 1 gold whenever i see him
