luciole (he/him)

My kid reassembled an owl pellet and framed it in science class. Looks pretty cool

At the library I’d say.

Other tigers?

This picture is kind of misleading though. Much of the photo’s creepiness comes from mistakenly assimilating the red dots to its eyes. Ants have those big familiar insect eyes we are familiar with. Quote from Snopes:

This is a closeup of a section of the ant’s face but not the full face. In a text message, Kavaliauskas [the photographer] told us, “This is just the front part of the portrait […] the eyes are already in the shadow area. […] if the eyes are illuminated, all the mystery disappears and the photograph appears ordinary and uninteresting.”

Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

Woohoo!

Haha they’re called like that because of their shape right? Right?

So I went on Wikipedia and apparently Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum and its genus Ornithogalum are part of the Asparagaceae family which is known as the asparagus family, not to be confused with the Asparagus genus, of which it is but a subset. Gotta love when they fuck with people like that.

No it’s not.

A beautiful word we learned from the first nations, probably the Wendat.

falseknees comics aren’t necessarily structured around a big punchline. It’s often more of an animal kingdom slice of life. Here the bird on the left clearly hatched this year since they’re unaware of leaves changing color in autumn. This is isn’t their last surprise, as they’re about to find out what it means to be a migratory bird as well.

That’s putting it squarely.

They mean 32°C.

Trick question. The sun is in the sky (daytime) not in space (nighttime)! As we all know, the higher you are, the less there is oxygen. That is because the sun burns most of the oxygen in the sky. Fortunately plants produce oxygen in the daytime faster than the sun burns it. It’s common sense really.

I can hear this meme.

I feel for the unlabelled fly getting mounted. Utterly fucked and unexplainably unnoticed.

Missed opportunity for a sweet Venn diagram.

babe wake up new pokémon types just dropped

Saw it too late. Am lunch.

A cat with half closed eyes may be looking smug, but in reality that face means you got a calm, content cat signalling they trust you. I mean, they may be smug, but it’s completely unrelated to the face they’re making. In other words, FDC Willard is a happy, loving (possibly smug but who knows) co-author in this pic.
