What's the best tool-manipulating appendage?
>>4677014Wouldnt that depend on the tool, which is likely to be optimized to whatever appendage created it?
people say hand but that's only because our cerebellum is so advanced that fine motor skills seem trivial. Literally more than half our brain is dedicated to this.A sufficiently cerebellumated tentacule, trunk, or penis would be twice as effective.
>>4677014the hand and it's not even a competition. All animals that need to grab tree branches and need dexterity evolved some type of hands. Even birds use their feet as some kind of pseudo-hand.Proboscis and tentacles are inferior adaptations lacking the multiple points of contact that the hand has.>>4677048a tentacle hand is better than a single tentacle tendril.
>>4677369>a tentacle handIsn't that just an octopus' entire body?

will having an anquarium improve the humidity in the room? if so that is desirable for me.

>>4677841How cold are we talking? It grows here in the UK just fine.
>>4677031>>4677508>>4677641I'd say it actually looks better in real life, because the nerves actually sparkle, and the leaves in general have a slight iridescent effect to them.>>4677699Peat or sphagnum moss. If you repot them, don't remove too much soil, because the leaves will immediately curl all the way down, making it very hard to put the plant in new soil.
>>4677031>>4677978I want to get one of those, any specific care requirements?
>>4678052>any specific care requirements?Most Jewel Orchids are surprisingly easy to grow, particularly Ludisia, although Macodes prefers higher humidity.They like regular potting soil, bright but indirect lighting, and moist soil that is allowed to dry out a little between waterings.Basically standard houseplant care.The main tip is the grow them in a wide, shallow container to give the rhizomes space to spread out.
>>4678056Awesome thanks, im thinking of getting this for my brother that has been pretty into plants lately
Has there ever been a more brutal mogging throughout the animal kingdom?

My mom's dog keeps staring at me when i go and fetch my tendies or some unhealthy drink and he doesn't understand that's it's rude and makes me uncomfortable how do i get him to stop please
Dogs like to know what their humans are up to. Also by making themselves known they increase they chances of being pet. If you are making food, doge probably is hoping some disasterous accident befalls you and you drop your tendies. Also, pet the dog. Its good for you. And doge.
>>4675613mudslime alert!
>>4676512>>4676669>>4676657I don’t understand why I should pet him I don’t really like him that much…
>>4676934Don't. Dogs are excellent judges of character and he doesn't like you. He's just keeping an eye out in case you decide to slaughter your family cause your mom forgot to buy more tendies or aked you to get a job.

Would love to snuggle and nuzzle them ears. Their foals are so damn cute.
they can apparently be tamed but can still possibly quill you on accident
Why are insects fucking horrifying? They're so fucking alien, if I had to choose between being attacked by a Tiger or a larger version of this fucking thing I'd take the Tiger.

>>4673596>Oh no some gigantic creature is sizing me up with its feelers>I have come to the ledge of the sink, better not risk jumping even though my insect body could take it no matter how far the height is>OH N-why are insects so dumb
>>4677382They're not dumb or clever, they don't possess intelligence of any scale. They are like living code, they just do what they are programmed to do in a manner of speaking with no ability to think or reason. It didn't do or not do anything that any other bug of the same species would or wouldn't have done in identical circumstances.
>>4676177I don't know, when I recognize the empty pupil-less eyes, it just makes the insect look more disturbing to me.

Are animal restoration videos ethical? How many people do you think are giving their cows and horses hoof infections just so they can slice them up?
>>4677993youre the one saying its racist to imply animal abuse exists lolhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-65951188go fuck yourself faggot
death to pityfags
>>4677966>I think the hoof ones are authentic, hooked farm animals legit get fucked up constantly.The thing is all these types of videos start out authentic, e.g. some cute clip from Buzzfeed or whoever goes viral, then copycats show up because they see it's great for views and force these situations via abuse.So if the hoof ones are by and large mostly authentic still, they won't be for long.
>>4677901It would behoove the horses to kick their owners if they try to behoove them
>>4677966>The ones that trigger me something fierce are the the fake puppy/kitten rescuesI don't even klick on that shit. How many times do you casually find a half dead animal in the wild while you have a camera ready to film it in it's misery before doing something about it. Of course they get some pour thing and hit it with a shovel unti it's in the right condition to be "rescued"
Bird autism
>>4677527Indeed
>>4677374Isn't there a longer version of this where the owl btfo's the cockatoo?I saw it years ago on Cheezburger of all places.
>>4677825Dunno but I wouldn't be surprised if it just takes it. Crows are just as bad or worse in the wild and owls just sit and brush it off.
>>4677374More autism please...
This picture was from 1950. Bears used to be seen as pets and friends to humans. What changed?

>>4668493>Spilt it in half before killing itI'm pretty sure that's the point of splitting it in half and, in fact, is what my parents have always done whenever we've had lobster, either the American ones or the med ones (idk wtf they're called in English; they're both just "lobster" to me)They also clean crabs while still alive, holding the claws with one hand while ripping the shell off with the other and rinsing under running water to clear the gunk out.I, on the other hand, have only ever dropped them into boiling water, both lobster and crab.>>4669248>but then we have panic.I've seen crustaceans exhibit what I would call panicked behaviour, but I might be just anthropomorphising their reaction to having their shell ripped off as described above.
