We are all now very invested in a summer journey of a moose from Poland that is probably trying to go to Šumava (south west of CZ) via an ancient moose migration route to join the local herd of 15 (!) mooses. He is crossing the forests, cities, rivers and ponds alone and I really hope he makes it! 🫶

these cats are displaying remarkable theory of mind skills by not only registering that the humans can perceive them but actively trying to manipulate that perception! that requires one to be aware that other individuals have complicated interior thoughts of their own, to know that those thoughts are not always based on truth, and to quickly decide on the best possible “lie” for the situation. this is why I despise animal intelligence tasks based on obedience— some of the most clever moments stem from intelligent disobedience.

As a european i sometimes forget furefkied are actually real and not american folklore/cryptids. Like you’ve got friendly little bugs that glow in the dark….. b r uh

The word you are looking for is “selfish.” Not narcissist, not sociopath, selfish.

The unfortunate facts are that you can have a completely valid and understandable reason for reacting in an extreme way to things you perceive as criticism and rejection, and it'll still hurt people and damage your relationships if it means you end up punishing them for trying to establish boundaries, however unintentional your reaction is.

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.

Heh… but surely, if i go one level deeper, and psychoanalyize how much im psychoanalyzing my previous thoughts, that will be the key…

I like when the bus stops directly in front of you out of the line of waiting people and opens its doors. Chosen by the dragon

I hate this post. Ever since I read it I can't help but think "chosen by the dragon" whenever the bus stops in front of me or "denied by the dragon" when it doesn't. Every. single. time. That's a minimum of ten times a week. Do you know how annoying that is

To anyone that hasn’t had their first kiss yet, or has never been asked out on a date, or asked anyone on a date, or hasn’t had a significant other yet: please don’t worry about reaching an age and not checking these things off. There’s nothing wrong with being 20 and not having been kissed. There’s nothing wrong with starting college never having had a boyfriend/girlfriend/romantic partner. You aren’t weird or an outcast because you haven’t been on a date by a socially constructed time frame.

This is so important

Boost the hell out of this

As a person who jumped into a relationship at 16 just to be like everyone else, listen to this one thing: wait for someone you know in your gut is special. DON’T settle through fear of being alone or other people’s judgement. Do it all at your pace and trust your gut instinct!

trying to make an agegap hot but its not that much of a gap: hahaha when you were born i was. well i knew the alphabet

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a life hack it is to exclusively be friends with, date and marry people who are not constantly mean assholes to you.

This does a good job of explaining WHY this phenomenon occurs. The brain prefers an open threat that can be anticipated and predicted, as opposed to what appears to be a concealed threat that could strike at any time unexpected.
