Would be a good rendezvous for a deadly stand-off. Fortunately, we’d never need one?))
I think for a deadly stand-off it'd be better to choose a place less fragile than this)

Not in a million years would I have ever thought of this
This is art
THIS POST AGAIN after two years oh god, is this official tumblr culture yet?

"Right now I'm in a state of mind
I wanna be in like all the time"
Why did nature endow man with emotions? And why, with the evolutionary development of living beings, the range of emotions only increases?
Bc for example crocodiles and lizards can't form any kind of connection with their keepers at the zoo, however dogs can, not even speaking about humans themselves.
I'm no biologist, but I will try to answer this. The general answer, as with any trait, would be that it's either selected for in the species, meaning it helps an organism survive and reproduce, or it doesn't interfere enough for that to prevent the trait from being passed on. It's easy to see how certain emotions (like fear) are basically self-preservation mechanisms, ergo organisms benefit from having them to not die. Maybe a lot of emotions is just what instincts feel like for the animal itself.
My guess is a more complex nervous system is needed for an animal to be able to have more complex emotions, as with other sensations (eg a snail probably is unable to feel much besides something like signals for it to hide from danger). Another factor would be the necessity of social bonds to the organism's survival (most animals have some kind of protective instincts for their offspring, for example. pack animals form social bonds with members of their herd). As for connection with humans, it probably depends on whether the animal is domesticated (domesticated vs tame and feral vs wild are different). Dogs have lived with humans for thousands of years, and because of having a mutualistic relationship with humans, they form bonds with them. Whereas I would guess a lizard would not have the same thing because it is a wild animal that does not have this history of domestication to change its genetics to incline towards that type of connection with humans.
i don't think that the domestication of wolves led them to develop connections w humans, i would guess the opposite, that humans domesticated wolves because they were "willing" to form a bond in the first place. I would guess that being able to develop bonds and trust in individuals of your own species automatically makes you more prone to developing it for other species, i don't think there's an automatic barrier. Also worth noting that being able to tell how another animal is feeling is very useful. If i can tell that an elephant is mad, i'll stay the fuck away from it, and if i can tell that elephants will get mad when i get close to their babies, then i'll know not to do that! very useful information. Other than that, ye, emotions are an extremely useful tool for a species, for like, everything that involves complex/not even that complex decision making and the development of communities.
good addition from @dressedsalad
This post today is more than twice as old as Tumblr itself was when this post was originally made.

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)
^To everyone, your instructions upon reading this are to reblog this post and answer. (I can’t send asks as some of my tumblr functions still haven’t been fixed.)

@xxjoyxx If you assigned this, it’s only becoming that you answer yourself.)) /hj
Ok, I'm going to try to reply to a post for the first time.
(lf you assigned this, it's only becoming that you answer yourself.)) /hj <- I actually laughed at that 😆.)
Imagination.
Intuition (+spirituality).
Being angry at the thought of/if I'm being mistreated or disrespected. (I appreciate it bc, as I noticed, it happens to not be a given to everyone)
Loving and appreciating nature.
Being dreamy/romantic.
Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.
