Is this true? Sounds a bit like bullshit to me, but I very well may be wrong?
Tumblr media
Not only is this true, it's a topic I've been meaning to post about for a while! Gorillas and chimpanzees share the same forest ranges, but due to deforestation their species have been interacting in the wild for the first time as they now share territories. Primates of different species becoming close is not unheard of, but this is relatively novel among great apes in the wild.
Becoming close with another, similar species (sympatry) can have mutualistic benefits, but it can also cause problems:
Tumblr media
This diagram shows the main potential benefits of chimp/gorilla sympatry as well as the potential costs. While chimpanzees have been observed killing infant gorillas once or twice, overall interactions between the species appesr to be friendly, or at the very least non-hostile. In fact, some gorillas will travel 300m to join a group of chimps they know! Additionally, the species recognize each others alarm calls and have been observed engaging in play together.
To learn more about observed gorilla and chimp sympatry in the wild, you can read the full study here, and an article about the study here for those who prefer a summary and have no use for the academic text.

Is this image real - https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/10hhmxw/lesser_sunda_island_pit_viper_are_eternally_grumpy/
It says its a lesser sunda pit viper but I think it looks photoshopped
Tumblr media
This is actually probably real. Lesser Sunda Island pit vipers can indeed be blue as a natural color phase. If there's any tampering with the colors here, I expect it might have actually toned down the blue a bit - they're usually a lighter blue than this, but they're also usually darker along their backs, so it might just be the angle making it look wonky.

I think that anon is looking at the same Reddit thread I saw this morning about Z and Sam. It's just so frustrating- sure there's some nuanced takes about her role as EP and her blind spots to his exploitative weirdness and unprofessionalism, but a lot of them are using this as excuse to shit on her and make unfair exaggerations and accusations. It's always so obvious when someone is in bad faith when they're so gleeful about it.
yeah the only good subreddits on reddit are like r/aita, r/askreddit, r/natureisfuckinglit, r/aww, r/todayilearned or any of the hobby-based ones like r/baking and r/diy ect.
anywhere else like the film & tv/entertainment, sports, and politics subreddits are cancer and people should stay away unless they want to pop a blood vessel.

A gateway into a hell realm
Tumblr media
VESTIBULE
A sandwich-board sign, solid gold: “Welcome 967th Great Race Participants!”
A statue of the Monkey King looms. Astride the staircase to the Mural Hall (pg xx), balls shining street-lamp bright—Brass Tower property glows fluorescent in their light.
Two gods guard the way. “The Tower is closed for a special occasion. Your invitation?”
+
Tumblr media
“HORSE-HEAD”, DOOR GODDESS HD 5, as heavy armour, trident 2d8. Morale 12. Polearm arts, watching, running.
Decay is a racing horse. Hit by her trident, age d10 years.
Horse-head is a hell-deity, tricked by the Monkey King into servitude. You cannot sneak past. Try a bribe? She wants to taste horse meat. She will not know the difference.
+
Tumblr media
“OX-FACE”, DOOR GOD HD 5, as heavy armour, trident 2d8. Morale 12. Polearm arts, goring, snoring.
Misfortune is a lumbering ox. Hit by his trident, fumble your next action.
Ox-face is a star-god, the Monkey King’s sworn bosom-brother. Hates Horse-head, and incorruptible—but 2-in-6 chance he is asleep at the job.
+++
("Two scary dumbasses guarding the way into the place you wanna go" is a trope I always seem to want to write into RPGs.
This is not even the first time I've used Horse-face and Ox-head in writing; they appear in this story, about a businessman's takeover of Hell—
A concept which itself got recycled in "Spy In The House Of Eth".
Guess I keep cannibalising myself? Maybe that's why I'm attached to the idea of the horse-headed hell god wanting to eat their namesake.)

https://reddit. . com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/xjacch/sailfin_lizard_from_the_philippines/
is this real?
Link for everyone!
Yep, that's a real photo of a sailfin lizard (Hydrosaurus pustulatus). They're big, beautiful lizrards, named for that awesome sail on their fins! They're not always the lovely black color of the one in the photo, more commonly dark green or brown, but the black is a pretty common color phase and is very popular because melanistic sailfins usually have stunning blue eyes as well. They're beautiful animals.
An important note about them - they can make decent pets for advanced keepers, but they're solidly advanced-level lizards. They're massive and need huge enclosures and their care is pretty difficult. They're not good pets for most people, but it's far too easy to find wild-caught sailfins in the pet trade because of their unique appearance. It's wise to be cautious of any photos or video you see of them in captivity - they're endangered in the wild and really have no business in most people's homes.
