Well, if the rocks are sufficiently small and plenty as well as stealth coated (or at least painted black) they are still a nuisance with deadly potential.
If you don’t like the act that leads to reproduction, you’re less likely to reproduce meaning that your genes will probably not be represented on the next generation and therefore the likelihood of people not enjoying reproduction is generally low.
I guess that’s the whole point why most people tend to build some kind of relationship before jumping into bed. It’s not weird if there is trust and affection between the people involved. It’s also a basic instinct of most animals, it’s something you want so any awkwardness that may arise is secondary.
I’ll start. Apt next door is having a cockroach infected. 4 days ago, I was playing sims on my laptop, wearing my eyeglasses. Right lens got blurry, took off, huge cockroach was crawling across inside of lens. While I was wearing them. Freak out ensued.
They probably can’t see colour very well though. They may have more receptors but they can’t mix those as well as humans so it’s a bit like looking at an 8 bit game with some new colours. Also the resolution of their eyes is abysmal. Birds have one receptor more (UV) and really sharp vision. That’s where it’s at imo.
I’d like to be able to hear like a bat. There’s so much of the sound spectrum we normally don’t perceive and it’d also be cool to experience their echolocation.
Our eyes are pretty good at working in air though. The only thing that makes them fish like is that they have to stay moisturised really. I doubt that filling them with air would do much, we could maybe get rid of floaters though. The dumbest thing about our eyes is that they’re inverted with nerves and blood vessels being in front of the receptor cells so I’m wondering how much they’d improve if they were properly constructed like in squid.
For me personally, trams are right up there. Aside from the main issue of sharing the roads instead of having a dedicated line, they really make it easy to get from one part of a city to another, especially for wheelchair users. They’re usually as frequent as buses, but much faster. The stations are much more attractive...
This isn’t properly calculated though. They only count the actual laser energy inside the reacttvs output. They don’t account for the huge amount of energy thatch’s needed to run the lasers in the first place or the rest of the facility. It’s nowhere near putting out more energy than it consumes and it’s also a reactor for nuclear weapons testing so they don’t really try to produce energy anyway.
It is certainly a challenge to keep a large animal with such a thick shell afloat. However that would just explain the immense size of the shells. Their shape is just extremely weird and sometimes I’d even expect it to be detrimental to their ability to navigate the open water. If they were planktonic it would not be as problematic I guess but I still don’t see the functional advantage. Maybe mimicry? But of what?
They look a lot like the calcareous shells of some polychaetes but they have a sedentary lifestyle attached to rock or other substrates which is not what we’d expect for Ammonites.
Hallo miteinander, eigentlich sollte es ja gut funktionieren im Fediverse auf andere instances zuzugreifen. Ich hab einfach keine lust mehr auf Reddit und deshalb würde ich lieber hier unterwegs sein. Ich habe mir kbin.social als Startpunkt ausgesucht weil ich gutes gehört habe aber irgendwie schaffe ich es nicht wirklich auf andere Communities zuzugreifen. Ich habe jetzt de_EDV rausgesucht um zu testen ob ich überhaupt mit anderen interagieren kann. Würde es sich lohnen mir lieber einen feddit.de Account zu machen ind Ann man diesen Post überhaupt sehen?
What's currently the distinction between these? I created a magazine and wanted to add a welcome sticky (Reddit style) but that ended up on the microblog. But you can't sticky those for some reason. But I also can't find how to create a thread with just text from the drop down menu. Can someone explain the differences and why they are there?
Thx.

Which heightened/different senses of other animals would you most like to experience (while still being human)?
Of the senses we’re familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.
What modes of transport do you really like?
