Behold: Iron Lung, The Real Thing That Existed Before Video Games That Was Absolutely The One Being Referred

Behold: Iron lung, the real thing that existed before video games that was absolutely the one being referred to here and NOT the fictional submarine featured in the game of the same name.

David Szymanski: in my game i have invented the Iron Lung as a cautionary tale

Billionaires: at long last, we have created the Iron Lung from classic horror game Don’t Create The Iron Lung

Hello to my non-Palestinian followers, Palestinians you can ignore this if you want, I have a goal of $400 to help my mom pay rent. Afterwards I will be donating $10 for every spider sold towards Palestinian funds. Spiders are $25 plus shipping and each take me about two hours to make.

If you need to access my shop there's a link in the pinned post. If you can't buy then please share my spiders with friends, family, co-workers, your mortal enemy with arachnophobia, random entomologists, I'll even accept the pigeons at your closest zoo.

Here's some examples of my work

I think a lot of the reason people perceive wasps as "mean" is because of the common perception of wasps as evil. In reality, they're no more aggressive on average then bees.

Personally, I've dealt with plenty of wasps, ranging from yellowjackets to great black digger wasps, and never been stung. A lot of that has to do with A, Broadly knowing what kind of wasp I'm dealing with (great black digger wasps are less likely to sting then yellowjackets if you get close), and B, knowing how wasps perceive the world in a general sense.

Little anecdote, I once had a yellowjacket in front of my back door, trying to build a nest.

While I'm actually fine with yellowjackets having a nest nearby (they're good pest control!), the placement meant the moment it got big enough, opening the door would wreck it, so it had to go.

I never used pesticides, or hurt the wasp. I'd just take a broom and gently shoo her away when she was building, or smack it near her if she was on the wall to scare her off.

Eventually I realized she'd built a small bit of nest, which was why she was coming back, so I broke it off and got rid of it and she never came back.

The reason she never stung me, even though I could have very easily been seen as a threat to her, is because while some wasps can remember faces, the thing that was threatening her was always the broom, and it's hard for a wasp to correlate human with broom since they don't really have a concept of "holding".

Oh my god you cannot just remove a species from an ecosystem and expect things to be fine there are always consequences and ecological webs are always more complicated than you think they are

I know every animal has their own personality and boundaries, but overall which reptile breed enjoys or tolerates handling the most?

Hello hello - great question! You're right, it does very HIGHLY among individuals, but generally if you want a reptile that tolerates handling very well, you won't go wrong with a big lizard.

Lizards like bearded dragons, blue-tongue skinks, and Ackie monitors are all a reasonable size for keeping and tolerate handling very well. The emerald tree skink might be the all-around winner here, though, as they often seem to actively enjoy handling. I used to work with one who would quite literally be on your hands the second you opened his enclosure.

As for snakes, most snakes, if they are consistently handled gently and treated with respect, will learn to tolerate handling. If you want a very handleable snake, look for a bigger, heavier-bodied animal instead of a very small species, as those tend to be flightier. Medium-sized pythons (like children's pythons and ball pythons) are great contenders, but boas stand out here. Boa constrictors tend to be the champions when it comes to snake handling, they move slowly and have easy-going but curious temperaments so usually enjoy coming out to explore and hang out.

I'm afraid the call is coming from inside the house

Why are website settings temporary now. Why do I have to constantly go back and tell websites to quit showing me shit. Leave me be
