Another cool thing about cuttlefish. They can create a pattern on their body while stretching out their limbs that they can use to mesmerise crabs, which allows them to catch the crabs easier ::: )

Fun fact about real life humans. Europe had functioning designs and examples of steel cannons for a long time before they were ever used in battle. And its not from a lack of opportunity.

Leaders just didn’t care for the expense or risk of upgrading when brass had worked so well for napoleon.

Same with the machine jun, they weren’t used (in europe) for years for various small mostly subjective reasons.

And then someone lost without them.

And everyone got the upgrades.

Picture this: Space war, other species see humans as a loud but primitive race that only just joined the stars, easy to crush. The first few battles even go there way.

And then suddenly our weapons are MUCH better. Our ships we MUCH better. Our computers and training and shields. Everything is leaps and bounds ahead.

Cause you see we’ve had that technology for years, we just didn’t implement it because there was no need to. Whether it’s human nature or capitalism, we don’t improve until we’re forced to, until something makes us.

But now there was a war,

now we could justify the cost,

so we stopped holding ourselves back.

They are the cutest 🥹

This is Sparta, she died 28 000 years ago.

This is Boris, he died 43 500 years ago.

This is Lyuba, she died 42 000 years ago.

This is Sasha, she died 34 000 years ago.

This is Lena, she died 42 000 years ago.

This is the Badyarikha mommy of an Homotherium cub, she died 35 000 years ago.

This is Blue Babe, he died 36 000 years ago.

Permafrost mummies! All these creatures represent a real animal found preserved in the permafrost. There's something so fragile and special about the earth and ice reuniting us with an animal our ancestors would have been so familiar with, that shit makes me cry.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

Your daily fish #24

Flying fish - Exocoetidae

Watch out for them or else you'll get fish-slapped.

They can glide outside of the water to escape predators at speeds of up to 16 km/h.

They don't flap their fins, they glide and they propel themselves by submerging their tails and flapping them.

You can find them almost anywhere but they prefer warm waters and vegetation.

I wouldn't want to get hit by a fish at such speed, but It would be magical to see them all gliding outside of the water.

Hey guys! Please reblog these completely unrelated random facts of the day!

ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers) are now legally allowed in 'safe' zones across the United States like churches, schools, and hospitals

and, completely unrelated:

Whether or not you are a US Citizen, you are not required to allow ICE or other officers into your home without a warrant that is valid, up-to-date, and signed by a judge

also, completely unrelated:

Whether or not you are a US citizen, you are not required to answer questions asked by ICE or other officers. Remember that anything you say could be used against you.

Just...you know...some random facts.

I know I am risking getting backlash again by posting this but yeah...this one's a lot.
