Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto vegan@lemmy.world•"Gen V" promoting hunting kangaroos (the tv show, not the vegan org)English1·3 days agowho never aim for the best
They aim for what is available. This is usually the weakest, but not necessarily. Particularly with pack hunters.
obviously doesn’t strengthen the herd
Obviously (eyerolls and gestures to all the prey animals clearly doing well due to their regulated hunting).
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto vegan@lemmy.world•"Gen V" promoting hunting kangaroos (the tv show, not the vegan org)English2·3 days agoYou need to really consider how significant the difference is between intention and action in this regard. A hunter ‘intends’ to get the best animal they encounter. In the wild, Prime animals will not give them the opportunity. Even getting the biggest animal they’ve ever heard of isn’t necessarily the ‘best’ one out there. Being so large it is likely old, and past its prime. You’re basically arguing against a definition. By being culled it is, by definition, not good enough.
This is first year ecology stuff. You are arguing with feelings instead of looking at the harsh realities involved. Audit a first year biology class if you want your concerns to be taken seriously.

Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto vegan@lemmy.world•"Gen V" promoting hunting kangaroos (the tv show, not the vegan org)English41·4 days agoUnless they specifically hunt the weakest and sickest and oldest kangaroos
They do. IRL the animals that get culled are those that were too weak, slow, or careless to avoid getting got. Hunting in the wild (whether done by humans or animals) has this feature innately, like it or not.
Frankly OP’s wall of text is deeply ignorant of the realities involved. The only argument that holds water without a simple ‘citation needed’ rebuttle is his first point regarding individual rights. Even then, we knowingly set aside that concern to prioritize the survival of the species.
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Science nerds of Lemmy: Is there an upper limit on the volume of a "confined gas"?English8·17 days agoIt’s important to remember the word ‘ideal’ that dictates the conditions needed. The gas cannot be mixing with an ‘external’ source, gaining or losing energy to it’s surroundings beyond the changes being specifically examined, is not subject to any forces or conditions not considered, and so on…
You’re literally asking ‘at what point are perfect conditions, impossible to every truly achieve, implausible?’. The answer to that: as soon as any factor cannot be simply ignored for the sake of simplifying the math.
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Memes@sopuli.xyz•Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience"English72·17 days agoSorry mate, but any first year biology student learns that the higher up the food chain the more concentrated the heavy metals are. Take Tuna. As free range as you can get but it is advised to minimize consumption, particularly when pregnant, due to the high mercury content.
While lifestyle does affect palatability of the meat (Bear near the dump always tastes ‘off’) it is more a question of ‘what’ is being bioaccumulated, not ‘if’. In your example scavengers are bioaccumulating pesticides and preservatives, whereas the successful predator accumulates all the heavy metals its prey, and their prey, and their prey (repeat until the bottom of the tree) consumed.
You can’t get around it. All high level predators have shitty meat, whether it tastes bad or not.

I didn’t get the rest but take solace in knowing how her story ends.
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I learnt to swim! Efficient swimming techniques ?English7·2 months agoMy favourite technique learnt during Lifeguard training was The Eggbeater. Basically picture yourself sitting in a kitchen chair but whirling your lower legs in opposite directions. You do this very loosely and slowly. It allows you to tread water while leaving your hands free. You ‘can’ use your hands by slowly sweeping your arms out wide forwards and backwards but this is only to reduce the workload so that you can very easily stay afloat with minimal effort (without floation devices).
The same technique can propel you on your back by simply leaning back a bit. It is good because it uses different muscles than typical flutter kicking etc. so you can switch it up if you get tired.

Like god intended.
Encephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•Get rid of the guyEnglish33·5 months agoWhen are Americans going to figure this out?: 63.7% voted, the other 36.3% don’t fucking matter. By not voting they said “we are okay with this”.
49.8% (more if you include the RFK voters) of the people who mattered voted for this, and those that didn’t vote are complicit whether they like it or not.

Yeah, I’m not clicking that :P

Bonus points for the deluge of infused product packaging litter everywhere.
Imagine that. Someguy is watching pornhub, just jackin it, and then his webcam records him as he suddenly without warning gets punched in the face.
And we all watch.
… in horror because it is that dude’s kink.

So, he’s the perfect representative for the American people.
Nah, her nose definitely moved. She does it twice in this clip and her nose moves both times. https://youtu.be/115T9BInGIc?t=198
Edit: To be clear I agree she’s using her upper lip but it ‘does’ cause the nostrils to wobble side to side.
