I was reading an article in the news about another coral bleaching event happening somewhere and it had a clickbait style sub header suggesting that a temperature change as little as 1C could cause bleaching. I'm not going to deny climate change or whatever but that doesn't really pass the smell test, since corals often live in very shallow water surely the natural variation is greater than that?

This is a small rabbit hole we went into last thread but there is a noticeable drop in temperature of the ocean in the fire few cm because of gas interchange or something like that. Past that point, the only noticeable decline in temperature is past 100 meters with the thermocline. The historical data also shows that the temperature varies considerably at 5m depths and particularly so through the year (some reefs go from 22° to 27° yearly. probably more if you account for currents and shit). So, unless the change was from 28° to 29° (remember, this kind of shit is never measured in F), I find it unlikely.
But from our daily experience in aquaria in a region that is naturally quite warm, having a high temperature usually leads to the polyps closing and acting weird before the coral finally melts and dies. Bleaching is usually the result of high lightning, possibly over time, instead. So the answer could be something more complex than a simple temperature change but perhaps the change in rain patterns that happens because of it or something like that.

I've listened to these two songs about every week for the past year because they remind me of my cat that died in December.

>In February 1954, in arguably his most bizarre experiment, Vladimir Demikhov transplanted a dog's head onto another dog, using vascular connections to the host dog's heart. Ignoring the condemnation from his critics, he continued with this particular line of experimentation, becoming more successful with time.[1] His transplantation work was widely reported inside the Soviet Union, where it was continuously criticized for being unethical, but it was not until the late 1950s that news of his experiments spread to the outside world.[1] In fact, by the time American surgeons became aware of Demikhov's dog head transplantations in 1959, he had already been performing these procedures for five years.[6]

I hate lions. Overrated motherfuckers don’t deserve their reputation as King of the Beasts or King of the Jungle. They get mogged by so many herbivorous animals and even the lesser carnivores give them tons of shit. END THE LION HYPE.

Lions don't even live in the Jungle though. It makes 0 sense to call them "King of the Jungle" when their asses don't even live there. Plus Tigers literally have the word "King" in Chinese on there head.

Why don't we just call this animal tanuki? Raccoon dog is such a dumb name because it isn't any more of a dog than it is a raccoon. Might as well start calling red pandas "cat bear" at this point.

tanuki is the more popular name in pop culture anyway, so just start calling them tanuki and on the offchance someone is autistic enough to try and correct you just say that you prefer calling them by that name for distinctiveness' sake.

This isn't actually a universal truth. There are some gators with visible shaped snouts and Gators with rounded snouts. Best way to tell is to check if the body has iso sensors. Gators only have them on their heads while crocs have them all over their body. Basically if they have black dots on their bodies they're crocs. If it's only on the head it's a gator.

I know people talk about how octopuses could develop significantly due to their intelligence, if only they didn't strave themselves to death after breeding. But, isn't it the perfect adaptation to the nature of this world? If anything, they seem superior to us in every manner, as they can turn into enlightened buddhists on their own after breeding.
>>
>>4775411
It's perfect for rapid evolution. Kill yourself instead of shitting up the gene pool with further offspring. You get one chance and then it's bye bye. Also, they can't develop anything because they have no spoken or written language. They could even use their own ink if scientists developed underwater paper for them.

well if it's swallows divebombing you, they aren't actually going to hit you. they nest near my house, my work, and my gym and they always zip passed my head but never touch me. blackbirds on the other hand will scrape your head with their claws. hate those little fags.
