it is so irritating to me that how these stupid dance shows do not have any respect for the classical dances like ?!?!? i bet u my whole fucking life that these stupid dance show's so called "judges" can't do any type of classical dance and yet they go on shitting stuff like "ur dance was nice but a fusion or a different form would be even better" from they mouth like yk what else would be better? u stop breathing. yeah.

like the amount of disrespect they show to these superior dance forms like Bharatnatyam and kathak and all by fusioning them with these so called international dances like no disrespect to international dance forms but they are in no way superior to our own classical dance forms. a classical dancer goes through so much during their dance trainings. a ballerina is respected because her foot suffers so much in her dance trainings learning ballet so why are these classical dancers not getting THEIR respect that they DESERVE. look at a classical dancer's feet. it would not be soft cute uwu rather it would be hardened and will have calluses that shows the years wirth of trainings and pains they suffered yet u want to mix that dance form with other dance forms? just bc u think that the classical dance form alone is 'boring'?

Art is something that is beyond culture and traditions, i agree but that does not mean one has to lose their originality, their identity to cater to someone else's standards. if a classical dancer only performs classical dance it is NOT 'boring', it is NOT 'less talented' than others. please stop. stop making it seem like a classical dancer needs to have some international dance forms mixed/fusioned with their original dance forms to looks more 'interesting'.

Beautiful Dancing Frogs (Micrixalus adonis), family Micrixalidae, endemic to the western Ghats of India

Males use a waving display of the hind feet to attract females. They live and breed near noisy running streams. Their calls cannot be heard well over the sound of the rushing water, so visual displays work better than typical frog calls.

This species was first described in 2014.

My comments under are the cut. My other Mikus (minoan): click and click.

this time I tried to keep the design more accurate when it comes to her original colors (hence more gray) but also had to recreate the cultural outfit properly. Golden stuff kinda ruins the palette but they are a must so I guess it's a lesson for me to plan better in the future. I also skipped the leek: adding it to the "temple jewellery" wouldn't be very respectful I guess. I also kinda forgot lol.

I'm not Indian so I hope I didn't duck this up too much - I did a lot of research.

Rainbow Jumping Spider (Chrysilla volupe): these colorful spiders were regarded as an extinct species for nearly 150 years, until they were finally rediscovered in 2018

The males of this species have a stunning, almost rainbow-like appearance, thanks to the bands of color and iridescent scales that cover their bodies.

Despite the fact that Chrysilla volupe is probably the most flamboyant spider in the world, it was still lost to science for nearly 150 years. The species was first described in 1879, but there were no documented sightings of it for 139 years after that, until researchers finally tracked it down again in 2018. The female of this species was also described for the very first time in 2018 -- prior to that, Chrysilla volupe was known only from male specimens.

The spiders have been found in certain parts of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. Like most jumping spiders, they are quite small: the males can measure up to 5.44mm long (and that includes their outstretched legs), while the females are less than half that size.

Time Travel Question 47: Early Modernish and Earlier 2 (Reposted. First Version Had Issues

These Questions are the result of suggestions a the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.

In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.
