Excellent news. It took me a long time to realize that while animals are cool and interesting, it's the plants, stupid!

And below that, the fungi and their mycorrhiza... maybe I'll :crackping: on bacteria before I die.
microbes are fascinating and i know i will never understand anything about them because there's just so many of them of so many kinds that categorisation becomes impossible. i already had that realisation with bugs, i started trying to learn every single species of fly in my local area and was immediately consumed with awe. birds are difficult enough

do not get me started on the dazzling biodiversity of Eucalyptus or Acacia. thousands of species, coinhabiting, impossible to tell apart, but scientific people insist that you get the exact correct latin name for every single specimen because ?? ??? ??????

stop naming everything! they're constantly interbreeding! you'll never be satisfied. it just gives you more names to get depressed over when they specifically go extinct

Speciation is a function time and isolation and genetic drift.


New unique species of fruit fly identified in goon lair adapted to artificial light, recirculated air, and subsisting on cheeto dust, Drosphilia goonensis has a dazzling orange pigmentation due to its diet and need to blend in amongst the crumbs.

same but moths, I love butterflies and kinda low ley survey them and count them for local recording groups and stuff. Thought "they this is neat, lets look at moths next!"

Here in the UK there's about 60 different species of butterflies and realistically in any local area you're looking at about 20 you can realistically see outside of rare occurrences.

Moths, fuckin MOTHS, over 2500 with macro, micro and regular moths, its mind boggling and you get ones that are like 4mm in size and they only way you can tell it's X species is by identifying a small black dot on the underwing or some poo poo.

There are 21,000 pieces of plastic in the ocean for each person on Earth

quote:

Humans have filled the world’s oceans with more than 170 trillion pieces of plastic, dramatically more than previously estimated, according to a major study released Wednesday. The trillions of plastic particles — a “plastic smog,” in the words of the researchers — weigh roughly 2.4 million metric tons and are doubling about every six years, according to the study conducted by a team of international researchers led by Marcus Eriksen of the 5 Gyres Institute, based in Santa Monica, Calif. That is more than 21,000 pieces of plastic for each of the Earth’s 8 billion residents. Most pieces are very small.

every six years! by the time industrialization ends, the oceans will be more plastic than water, an incredible achievement

Everyone knows that individual consumption choices are meaningless, the only question is whether you arrive at the correct solution (forced degrowth) or the one designed to continue shoveling money at the rich as everything collapses (technical innovation).

Train derailments are perfectly natural and it requires unimaginable hubris to believe that silly ideas such as improving your infrastructure or hiring more people could actually stop them. You probably also want to try nuking hurricanes. Allow the trains to derail freely, as nature intended.

On another note, remember Cyclone Freddy from early last month?

Well, it's still kickin and absolutely smashing records!



Higgins Storm Chasing posted:


* FREDDY is one of four systems to traverse the entirety of the Indian Ocean (LITANNE 1994, LEON-ELINE 2000 & HUDAH 2000 were the other 3).
* FREDDY is the ONLY known tropical cyclone to achieve 6 seperate rapid intensification cycles
* FREDDY reached Category 5 strength twice, and even spent a period of time at Category 5 US strength (Cat 5 in the US is stronger than Cat 5 in AUS) with peak sustained winds of 265km/h and gusts much higher than 300km/h.
* FREDDY is now the longest-lived tropical system - surpassing Hurricane JOHN at 34 days. Its expected that FREDDY will get to at least 37 or 38 days before finally dissipating.

How fucken good is climate change?!
