    That is a pretty big worker carpenter ant! :shock Sure hope it's a stray. You'd better take it outside, far away from your home. (Carpenter ants chew through wood, and can cause a havoc in a home setting if they decide to make a way/nest there. If this is the first time you've seen one, I'm...

    The whale: "Oh, look at that poor little humanling, about to get eaten by a shark. It doesn't even belong in water by the way it's swimming. It doesn't stand a chance. It deserves a better fate. Better save it. Come on you little rascal, back to your floating-fish-land-thingy, where you can be...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    True... :nerbz We made our farm animals helpless by domesticating them and raising them only for food... Especially after the people leave. :yes That last one that waited until the people left (that was too scared to approach with the people there) is so adorable! :love Notice how the others...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Perhaps it played a part, but the Thylacine suffered the same fate as wolves: it was hunted down because it was perceived a danger to stock (farm animals). :mad: Case in point: people are cruel. They probably starved them, too, so they could get a better shot of their "aggressive" behaviour...

    Neurodiversity

    Conversations generally usually tend to derail a bit, but the reason this happens so much when talking with me is that, as an autistic person, all these things are almost inseparably interconnected in my mind/brain: the moon, human nature, dinosaurs, other animals -- these topics all have links...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Important to note that for all our "advanced" medicine, humanitity still relies on nature to protect us: our natural environment and our immune system. The only other widely used inside defence we have found also comes from nature -- penicillin, antibiotics (specifically from moulds) -- and it...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    "We came in peace for all mankind." Interesting phrasing. :rolleyes: Not all life on Earth, not all of nature, just all of man-kind. Incidentally, what repels the martians in H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds -- which this film was heavily inspired by -- is not all the might of human warfare...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    Good you said that. I was about to take you seriously. :oops: The balance is actually a lot more important than freedom. Freedom of choice means nothing if people's basic human needs are not being met. True freedom is having everyone's human needs met. In such a system, even if it had very...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Even the adult ones are adorable! xD Especially when they're not fighting. They're like little dog-like things -- they remind me a little of jackals by their behaviour, but like a marsupial version of them. And they have a bit of Tasmanian tiger in them (with the peculiarly wide-opening...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    They're not devils because of the way they look (minus the red and black colouring). They're devils because of the way they sound! :rofl You wouldn't believe the loud and scary sounds that come out of such a small animal when they're rivaling each other or safeguarding/defending their territory...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    The kiwis were seriously endangered, recently, too. Human deforestation and urbanisation has destroyed and reduced their habitat to the point of them dying out. After heavy conservation efforts for many decades by nature preservation teams the kiwis are now still present in small numbers and...

    Interesting -- I haven't heard of the elephant bird yet. :) It appears quite similar to the moa -- maybe they were related? (The relation to kiwis places them in common area of origin with the moa.) Yep, a similar fate befell the dodo. The elephant bird, the moa, Haast's eagle, the dodo, the...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Dinosaur-like and size animals existed even around 1280 on Earth, such as the Moa (Dinornis) in New Zealand -- which was subsequently completely killed off by people hunting them for food, building, and tool-making: Its natural predator before that was a massive eagle, called Haast's eagle:

    Jane Goodall's Advice

    @Pieter Boelen, I just heard Jane Goodall talk in an interview on the local radio today, and she kept stressing how thinking about the world at large is actually the wrong approach. In this day and age it completely overwhelms us and makes us feel powerless. How we need to start thinking and...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    :/ Not really... :nerbz It tends to follow. Anarchy gives power to those who are willing to step over others to seek it. Even in a time of law and order, and peace, they are constantly trying to undermine the system and twist the rules. When the rules fall apart, they get free reign to do as...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    Social chaos always benefits those who actively seek power. They are more than ready to take big risks in the hope that it pays off and they elevate themselves in social status. While the responsible leaders are struggling with restoring the balance and making sense of things, the selfish and...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    Here, after they declined to permit the rally to happen when the organisers politely and dutifully asked for council permission, despite the fact that the organisers responsibly made every precaution and effort to create a safe rally (with social distancing, free masks, and free hand...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    Some are confused. Others are using this chaos and public confusion to their advantage. One big political gain from all this is that they can blame anything on the virus and the confusion surrounding it, as well as use that as a distraction from real social issues -- as they have been doing so...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    This explains our governments' supposed reasoning with the lockdowns -- though it still doesn't make sense to me. There are other, less drastic ways to 'flatten the curve' that do not have a severe impact on our economies and societies, leading us to economic depression and war. Also, if I...
