heyyyy welcome, welcome!! I've been expecting you. You don't need to wipe your feet on the mat, mud tracks on the carpet adds some personality to the space!! Hang your coat on the weird fake taxidermy pronghorn. To your left, the dining room, currently occupied by 23 people (and not people) having a heated debate about whether chartreuse is green or yellow (its neither). Oh, and here on our right is a comprehensive list of my Things! Take a peek, I'll be waiting in the corridor with the mosaic floor.

post includes: info about me, hobbies, tags, sideblogs, DNI, disclaimers and explanations!

(this is going to be LLLLOOOOOONG. I love explaining!!)

one of my favourite memories ever is going swimming in my undies in the dead of winter beneath a waterfall in the middle of a forest (I couldn't feel my legs at ALL) and having a small longfin eel tentatively swim up to me. upon me sticking my hand out for her to explore, she rubbed her head up against my hand and let me pet her like some kind of slippery long cat. wet wriggly beast I miss you so much.. we were best friends for one fleeting moment... I hope you find a cave so deep and comfortable that all the other eels are seething with envy

two weeks ago I sat on the ground at night and a kiwi walked right up to me and got less than a foot away and just chilled out for a while right next to me. I am an animal wizard or something

He is NOT. SKINNY!!! (picks up a chair and throws it at the wall and it splinters into a hundred pieces of wood) AAAAGGHGGGHHHGGGH (rips the glass pane from the window and smashes it over a vase causing both items to shatter into shrapnel) (and the ground is covered in sharp fragments of wood and glass and ceramic and I use my powers to swirl them all into the air launch them directly towards you. For drawing him skinny)

"dolphins are completely evil" I actually don't think we should assign human morality to animals with no concept of law or civilisation with an intelligence roughly equating to that of a toddler

me and my evil malicious henchmen if you say one more unkind thing about these vital coastal scavengers whose natural habitat we've degraded and whose diet of fish we've jeopardised with overfishing, forcing them into urban areas in order to survive and compete with us for food

"dolphins are completely evil" I actually don't think we should assign human morality to animals with no concept of law or civilisation with an intelligence roughly equating to that of a toddler

bottlenose dolphins use "baby talk" when communicating to their babies and smile at each other like humans do when they play. be nicies to them

"Dolphins are evil" is just a reactionary backlash to years of earnestly believing dolphins were all benevolence and rescuing sailors only to find out they can be dangerous and violent like any other large wild animal.

"Sharks are nice" is a similar phenomenon in the opposite direction. Pop culture portrays sharks as malevolant killing machines who crave human flesh, so when people realize they're just animals who don't attack people any more than other predators, they overcompensate into thinking you can just swim with great whites with no danger.

The reality, of course, is that both dolphins and sharks are large wild animals who should be approached with caution and respect if at all. It's probably best for you and the animal to admire them from a safe distance.

some humans will try to help you if it's not too much trouble for them and some humans will try to bully you or take your shit or kill you if they think they can get away with it and sometimes those two examples of human can be the same person... and it's the same with every other species too.

Sometimes wolf spiders will simply abandon their eggs after laying them, sometimes they will eat their own young, sometimes they'll take an active parenting role -- and sometimes a wolf spider will adopt and raise a batch of baby spiders that are not even her own! And that's just wolf spiders.

Orcas are compassionate and tender and wonderful. Orcas are heartless and cruel and horrifying. And the reason those things seem to contradict is because we are trying to fit orca sized reality into a human sized expectation of how things are. It's the same with most creatures.

Everything on this planet is a complex interplay of situational variation, and we can only see it through the false lens of our own human values and limitations , so animals being "good" or "evil" or whatever is all just nonsense that ignores the strange and wonderful reality of their full existence

actually, no animals are evil because "good" and "evil" are human concepts based around human moral ideology. also, an animal being dangerous to encounter doesn't mean it's evil? this tag made me do a bit of research and dude. polar bears are just hungry giant carnivores. polar bears are actually no more likely to kill and hunt people than black bears. I don't think there are ANY exceptions to the rule of "animals aren't good or evil". they're all wild animals with wild animal behaviours and mentalities. if you say this kind of thing as a joke, it CAN be funny, but be careful that it doesn't turn into an excuse for actually hating an animal.

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing

Remember what generative "AI" does, kids: it GENERATES. That means it generates answers to questions based on whatever garbage has been fed into it. Not "goes and looks up the answer." Not "already studied and knows everything." It's just reaching into its sack of word salad and dumping a pile on your desk. Sure, maybe the words fit together to form sentences, but that doesn't make it correct.

a generative AI search result vs the exact article it is citing. the website it scrambled that information from also just happens to include info on winged roaches. gisborne cockroaches are completely wingless. even if it's pulling info straight from one reliable source, there is every chance it'll mash up that info into something false.
