No, it means that they demand a horde of ants to come to their rescue.

The point is that the idea of neanderthals as cruel immoral savages is 100% bullshit.

Neanderthals cared for their disabled people arguably better than the US does.

You want op to give them garum?

Because he is not following the rules.

Sure, women are allowed pretty much everywhere, but it still doesn't mean that we are safe from harassment or that the spaces aren't extremely male-dominated. And if an oppressed group wanting their own space and complaining about their oppression is a hate group to you, look inwards.

I think the main reason is that your average working class person, even if they have the money to contribute to that, doesn't have the time and energy to get involved in politics. Looking at history, most people seem to be happy as long as they have food on the table, a roof over their heads, and some pretty basic rights, and only start to act when something big goes wrong, usually famines, but also things like plagues and cases of injustice that a lot of people hear & care about.

The reasons I think this doesn't happen:

  • most people don't have enough interest, time, energy
  • a lot of people don't have enough money to contribute
  • this would require lots of organization and connecting to others who agree with the idea
  • it'd probably be easy to get caught, and a lot of the time (especially in countries where corruption is widespread) poor people will get punished harsher than the ruling class.
  • even if you somehow were able to do this despite the points above, it still probably wouldn't be enough; the gap between the average and a billionare is incomprehensibly huge. Less than ten people have more wealth than half of the world's population.

Well, there really isn't a canine equivalent to what lions are compared to cats. Dogs are directly descended from wolves but cats are descended from African wildcats, not big cats.

I'm pretty sure that it was definitely not made by anyone who's a fisher.

That's what they want you to think!

In this economy‽

 

So, I assume that if you put 100 people on a spaceship and sent them to wherever, they'd get very inbred in a few generations. How many people would you need for this to not happen, accounting for the fact that there will eventually be people who are infertile or die before having children?

stupid site wants to make me use a link instead of an image >:(

 

So, my granola recipe calls for 1 dl honey, but I was dumb and forgot to get it. I have a little bit of honey left, but not nearly enough. Can I use syrup instead? The granola will be baked at 150 degrees C.

I need answers quick!

 

What I mean is, what do people buy organs for? Transplants? Eating? Some other fucked up purpose I didn't think of?

From what I know, buying human organs is a tad bit too expensive and risky to do just for shits and giggles.

 

I've noticed that recently this community has had a lot of posts that have general, useful but not extremely important advice, like a lot of cooking stuff and such (I won't name any names but I think you all know what I mean), as opposed to what this community posted a while ago: very crucial information.

Any thoughts on this?

Southern Finland. I've found these and some more bluish ones. They are fairly small (the flower itself is about 4-6cm) and have these long, pretty thick leaves. It isn't visible in the photos, but the petals have this glittery look on them. Here's one of the blue ones, in a vase:

I've mostly seen them near yards or gardens, so I think they aren't native.

And before anyone makes a cheeky "what do you need this for 🤨" comment, I'm a writer. I'm not going to murder anyone I promise, I just want to write a scene where one guy gets poisoned.

I need something that doesn't require modern technology to extract/produce, and would make sense to be avaible in a place with a temperate to mediterranean climate. The slower, the better. Does a plant or something like that exist or do I need to make one up?

Update: I looked into death cap mushrooms and they might be just what I'm looking for! Long reaction time, and being dried doesn't make them less toxic! (the scene takes place in midwinter so no fresh ones would be avaible) If anyone has more info on them, please do share.

 

Is it gas? What material is fire? Why does fire exist?
