Something Slightly Stupid

Sincerely have no idea why people get pet macaws and other parrots that can't thrive in captivity unless you dedicate your entire existence to bird care when chickens come in miniature size and not only are cheap to feed, friendly, lay nutritious eggs, dispose of kitchen scraps, and poop out valuable plant fertilizer, but also if you forget the garbage and are face to face with a maggot swarm they will happily devour the evidence of your incompetence.

Beautiful pic from where I grew up!

Note to self…

It is thoughtlessly Cruel

With Easter on the way, feels like a good time to remind people this applies to all animals, like bunnies. Kittens, puppies, bunnies…they all grow up and won’t understand why you suddenly don’t want them anymore after they’ve depended on you for care and love.

Don’t forget about dyed Easter chicks. Even if you have room for backyard chickens, remember they aren’t sexed and could grow up to be roosters. I love roosters with all my heart but some people just don’t have the capacity to care for them, so please take the time to consider when you’re looking at all those cute little cuddly chicks. Not to mention people who bring them home who have never even had/want chickens.... >:(

I have a raging science ladyboner right now.

I’d love if we could do it on a state-by-state basis.

That same slime mold once affirmed that the Tokyo subway is pretty well-designed.  

Natural computation: it’s a thing, and it’s awesome. What is the universe but a really, really complicated computer?

I love this.

You’re forgetting the red wing black bird and the great and snowy egret. Best birds of the marsh!

I love how they’re all looking into the camera like they’re modeling.

some nice kids, thanks @fozmeadows
