Turn these off NOW. If you wait they can use whatever you've said or shared with your friends on there until whenever you turn it off, even after you turn it off.

Turn them off and tell Discord to get their head out of their arse and go fuck themselves.

Facultative parthenogenesis ability was discovered in crocodiles for the first time ever!

'Virgin birth' recorded in crocodile for 1st time ever

The American crocodile had been isolated in a reptile park enclosure for 16 years when she laid a clutch of eggs.

"The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) was taken into captivity in 2002 when she was 2 years old and placed in an enclosure at Parque Reptilandia in Costa Rica. She remained alone for the next 16 years. But in January 2018, a clutch of 14 eggs was found in the enclosure.

Virgin births, also known as facultative parthenogenesis (FP), is a type of asexual reproduction in species that would normally reproduce sexually. Scientists have documented it in birds, sharks, lizards and snakes in captivity, among other species. Until now, it had never been recorded among Crocodilia — the order that includes crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials.

They also said the discovery of a virgin birth in a crocodile means FP has now been found in both birds, which descended from dinosaurs, and a crocodilian, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. Birds and crocodilians are the remaining representatives of archosaurs — the group that also included dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

"This new evidence offers tantalizing insights into the possible reproductive capabilities of extinct archosaurian relatives of crocodilians, notably the Pterosauria and Dinosauria," they wrote."

I'll have pineapple and chicken

Do u have any requests?

Pepperoni pizza?

I also have little green friends!

A selection of random European Drosera I have raised in a lab! And some Sphagnum for companionship.

It may not be a well known fact but Drosera, like many carnivorous plants, produce a variety of antimicrobial substances and thus are more resiliant to diseases.

The red clover (Trifolium pratense) I've grown from seed finally started flowering! Was worried it wouldn't since I don't get that much light on this side of the building.

I like Legumes, I just think they're neat. Strong independent plants that don't need no fertilizer. Instead, they have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that live in lil knots in their roots! These bacteria are able to make compounds from the nitrogen in the air.

The reason people often "wallow in their misery" is because all of the good things that will help them have been tainted by neglect and abuse.

Going outside regularly is good for you. Being Forced to go outside when you don't want to and being treated like you're stupid for not being super into nature is going to make you not believe that.

Exercise is good for you. Being told all of your feelings are "in your head" and exercise will get rid of any mental issue you have is going to make you not believe that.

Laying off technology is good for you. Being told by a parent that they wish they could break every piece of technology you own is going to make you not believe that.

You can't be mad at people who were force-fed poison and wonder why they aren't "trying to do better"

E.J Sue’s “Mechaforce” is one of the few “How to Draw” books I would point newbies looking to get into drawing robots to. It emphasises knowing the basics (Very difficult to draw a robot properly if you can’t use perspective) and fundamental shapes and even arm techniques, and gives a neat insight into how mechanical forms work in art. 

These are just a few of the examples from the anatomy section of the book. It’s currently on sale on Amazon and worth checking out, though I will note it is not a “be all end all” resource, thankfully you can fill in your knowledge gaps elsewhere.
