Things I like about this decal on a restaurant window: -the insane orange waiter -that he’s carrying his plates in the air like a strongman -the couple looks like this isn’t the first time he’s done this, but it’s easier to just let it happen at this point. -the sign says PASTA as if he’s screaming it like a frankenstein -but he’s holding a plate of an entire chicken and a plate of wine glasses -there’s three wine glasses -one’s for him.
instead of actually writing an essay.. i wrote a thing on how to write an essay (woah meta) & added some pictures of my plans so u can see what i actually mean!! enjoy my friends i hope this is useful to someone
To celebrate the USA’s win–and it is a win, in spite of all the very real concerns–I thought I’d make another cat post, because they make people happy and it’s a happy day! Going to try to find three images per species, but some are pretty hard to find as many of these cats are rare and/or elusive!
First off, the subfamily of roaring kittens! Pantherinae:
Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa):
Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), not common:
Leopard (Panthera pardus):
Tiger (Panthera tigris):
Snow leopard (Panthera uncia):
Lion (Panthera leo):
Jaguar (Panthera onca):
Second and final (and much bigger) extant subfamily in Felidae, which is the purring kittens! Felinae:
Marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) does not want you to see its babies!:
Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii):
Bay cat (Catopuma badia), babies are elusive to say the least:
Serval (Leptailurus serval):
Caracal (Caracal caracal):
African golden cat (Caracal aurata), this is literally all I could find in the way of kittens:
Pampas cat (Leopardus colocola):
Andean mountain cat (Leopardus jacobita), very elusive baby:
Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis):
Margay (Leopardus wiedii):
Kodkod (Leopardus guigna), when the adult already looks like a kitten, the kitten looks…exactly the same as the adult, just smaller:
Geoffroy’s cat (Leopardus geoffroyi):
Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus):
Souther tiger cat (Leopardus guttulus):
Bobcat (Lynx rufus):
Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis):
Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx):
Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus):
Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus):
Cougar (Puma concolor):
Jaguarundi (Herpailurus yaguaroundi):
Pallas cat (Otocolobus manul):
Rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus):
Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis):
Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus):
Flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps), couldn’t even find any photos, had to screenshot a video:
Sunda leopard cat (Prionailurus javanensis), another not easy to find kitten!:
Jungle cat (Felis chaus):
Black-footed cat (Felis nigripes), just remember this species has one of the highest kill rates of any cat:
Sand cat (Felis margarita):
Chinese mountain cat (Felis bieti):
European wildcat (Felis sylvestris):
African wildcat (Felis lybica):
and finally, Domestic cat (Felis catus)!:
Remember, there is only one species of kitten on this list that belongs as a pet, and that is our beautiful domestic cat. Some of the wild species are endangered, and as precious as all these babies, the wild ones are best left to the wild. :)
ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
the origin of the letter 🇦
(from the documentary The Secret History of Writing, 2020)
hey Bunjy! I know that humans obviously come out on top with our big brains (and thumbs), but are there any other physical characteristics or senses that humans are the best at, compared to other animals?
sharks are famous for their sense of smell, and rightly so! your average joe shark can sniff out a single molecule of eau-de-fish-guts in up to 10 billion molecules of regular water, or one-part-per-ten-billion.
amazing, right?
well, humans can detect the compound that causes the smell of oncoming rain in concentrations as low as five-parts-per-trillion.
yes, trillion. with a t.
early humans were so dependent on rain for survival that they specced a large portion of the olfactory processing part of the brain specifically into detecting when it was coming! which makes sense- you usually smell a rainstorm coming long before it actually arrives.
you’ve had an amazing superpower all along and never realized it!
