It’s stupid if you edit the amount.

Edit: this used to be 5+. So view the other amounts OP edited with this thought in mind

I’m assuming it’s because most people do not keep their cats indoors here. This is a very agricultural area. So quite a lot of cats are shop/barn cats. The cat I adopted in this state is actually tattooed, but I adopted him from a shelter a little over 200 miles away and things start becoming much more urban the further in that direction you go from my “city”.

The cheaper (or often free) cat sterilization clinics near me clip ears instead of tattoo even if the animal is owned and indoor only.

Just “Small Government™️” things

I like chewing them more 😉

Yeah, there’s a reason that story lives rent free in my head 30 years later lol. Totally horrific, and also totally something I would do.

When I was in elementary school, one of my classmates went to the hospital because of those things. She was picking them out of her dog’s fur and putting them in a cup.

Unfortunately, her cup of water was right next to it, and she swallowed a bunch of these bastards instead of a nice sip of water.

Wow! I’m in undergrad and designing a research project right now that is specifically looking for a relationship between hydrocarbons from vehicle fluids and density of a microbiome in soil. It’s a little more involved than that, but I am just really glad this article is drawing attention to soils in particular.

Everything is interconnected, and bacteria and fungi colonies (for example) are just as important as plants and animals in the food web. We depend on a large diversity of organisms, and that diversity is something that has been rapidly declining.

That might be the case since op and I are both on that instance

About 20% of my feed is missing images right now. I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, because it does seem to be happening more frequently.

I kind of wonder if it’s because the original poster is from an instance I’ve blocked

I’m still waiting for this guy to do something intentionally funny. It’s like he saw the couch meme snowball and decided he wants to match that energy, without understanding why it went viral

I have two perspectives to this. I once had several male Indian roommates and I honestly don’t remember them having a scent beyond “male”. I could pick up turmeric from one of them, but I think he used a turmeric toothpaste.

I’m white and afab (not on t at the time) and a decade after having those roomies, I had a half-Indian friend tell me I smell like her dad lol. I think curry odor might just stick to clothing, I make it a few times a week so I’m sure my whole house smells like curry to outsiders at this point

I served with several who were trying to gain citizenship that way. I never thought to ask how they found out about it, I was always more interested in learning what they loved about here and missed from their home countries lol.

There’s also the chance that they’ll get deported after service because they weren’t given adequate support for PTSD and/or TBI.

Just wait til they find out you can gain citizenship by serving in our military

Often something like this is published and people don’t use the methods for the materials they are described with. It’s like taking the idea to make dough for baking specifically shaped bread, and using the concept to make specifically shaped ceramics instead

Testosterone can increase iron absorption. I don’t think menstruation plays enough of a role reducing that given how little blood is lost for the average person. I’ve read about people who have been recommended that they donate blood to lower theirs. So to put some numbers up, most menstruation is between 25-30ml while a blood donation is about 500ml. You can donate blood a little under every two months

I asked to be sterilized in my twenties. I have never wanted children, and never was even asked to baby sit when I was a teen because of how awkward I was around babies and small children. I was denied because apparently decades in my own head wasn’t enough, I needed to be married first. (wtf I can’t even tolerate sex how am I going to get married lol)

In my thirties I tried again, but this time asked to have all of my reproductive organs removed because they cause me so much pain. I got denied because I came out as trans before that 🙃 The (American) VA can’t do any surgeries if there’s even a tiny hint that it might be gender affirming for trans and enby folks.

Jacket and tie with swim shorts and flip flops.

Actually, I could see him doing that lol
