I really do think they should adopt a policy that's the opposite of China's one child policy.
@Grumplebee there are animals such as naked mole rats that show no signs of ageing throughout their lifespan and just suddenly die of cascading system failures. In the case of naked mole rats, no observed decline of fertility with age is included in this lack of ageing .
Naked mole rat fertility is flipping bizarre though.
As they are the only eusocial non insects.
They have a queen who's urine turns all the other females infertile.
@ebowden yes lol every week JF does a podcast with david duke
one of the best pod casts online
they also don't feel pain if I am not mistaken
From burns.
still, they are so bizarrely atypical.
They feel some other types of pain.
weird never knew some much about molerats
you have to if you aren't regenerative in some capacity
They lack specifically acid nociception, it is an adaptation to the lower blood pH caused by very high carbon dioxide levels.
because their hives aren't well ventilated?
Yes.
They are so stinkin' bizarre
(The CO2 forms carbonic acid.)
Someone needs to do a clickbaitey "strangest mammals" video with them, platypi, and echidnas
What are some other weird mammals
I never used to understand it, but the more I learn, the more I realise why people keep naked mole rats as pets.
armadillos are the only animals besides humans that can contract leporsy and yes, it can jump between them and humans.
I've seen quite a few Echidnas, and some platypuses. Tasmanian platypuses are huge.
Bonobos are psychotially murderous, but scientists ignore that to push a free love globohomo agenda
I haven't seen actual scientists ignore it, but popsci guys and people who are not scientists certainly do.
@Grumplebee Biologically, naked mole rats take the strangeness cake. Their ribosomes, basic cellular units conserved througout eukaryotes, are split into three, rather than two units to achieve very high fidelity translation. Your ribosomes are more similar to yeast than they are to those of these mammals.
I should have said documentarians.
These are just some of my opinions on brexit of where it is going and how it might get there. there's a lot covered in here. From why i voted to leave, my opinion on how the government is doing a "great job," if there could be a leadership challenge, if there could be a general election and what would happen if a second referendum happened. please i did this so we could all talk about in the comment section please be civil and have a discussion about what could happen to brexit. https://youtu.be/xm-sj50PAIs
Jim's great and all, but he's come a long way hasn't he? Here's the thing about him. He's a Gen X'er with serious cognative dissonance. On the one hand he wants to change the world. But he also has fully incorporated the worst meme gen x used to define itself. Actually, genuinely caring about *anything* is an unforgivable sin. However, he can't help but care about things. This fills him with self hate when he realizes that yes, he does indeed care about things.
Jim is such a pretentious cunt at times
He tried turning GG into his own personal troll army and it didn't want to and he rage quit
My first iteration of that statement actually had a statement about Jim being assmad that he couldn't get a personal army.
Jim can be entertaining
He can do good deconstruction of stuff
And he has a far reaching knowledge of a lot of web drama
Oh he's a true artist in the medium of destruction.
Like I have no idea how someone could divest so much time into knowing so much internet drama
And he's funny with it too
I do that too, unlike him I haven't been able to monetize it yet.
But his attitude that caring for something is for chumps or caring about anything makes you a lolcow reminds me kids from school who were trying to be too cool for anything
