I like how most of them he just does pretty much the gentlest throw he could to get them into the jungle, then there's just a random one he yeets way off into the distance.

Anyway, if the dude was doing that to protect the snakes from getting run over, then mad respect.

When I was a FedEx man I always saved snakes and turtles from roads. I didn’t grab the cottonmouths or the rattlesnakes, though. I don’t want to have to get CroFab, and of course in America getting it can bankrupt you.

Yep, figured that was the case. Most snakes are pretty chill, but if one is pissed at you, you sure as hell don't want it anywhere near you.

Just gotta say listening to it I was pretty much :hmmyes:

Never thought much about what a black hole would sound like, but hearing that, it was very much. Oh yeah, that seems like something a black hole would sound like.

I'm so glad it wasn't something really weird like just sporadic lintermittent bell dinging noises or something, as i'd be thinking about that for weeks trying to figure out what was up with that. This soundsed very, oh yeah there is just a bunch of large and epic things happening here, which very much fits a black hole.

Hanged AND strangled?

People came back from the dead a lot back then, so you wanted to be sure. Ideally you want to also cut of the head and a stake through the heart, but you know, that stuff takes time, and only so many hours in the day.

yeah sort of figured cats have a pretty low weight to surface area, so looked it up:

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17492802

They do get pretty fast (97kph/60mph) but interestingly mentioned:

quote:

"Cats have long, compliant legs," says Jim Usherwood of the structure and motion lab at the Royal Veterinary College. "They've got decent muscles. In that they're able to jump quite well, the same muscles divert energy into decelerating rather than breaking bones."

The springy legs increase the distance over which the force of the collision with the ground dissipates, says Dr Biewener.

"The impact forces are much higher in stiff collisions," he says. "If they can increase the collision time over a longer period, that reduces the impact force."

And a cat's legs are angled under the body rather than extended downward, like human or horse legs.

"You're not transmitting the forces really directly," says Dr Socha.

But yeah unsurprisingly turns out cats are very well evolved to take a fall.

Edit:
Also:

lol brilliant.

It's like trying to make sense out of cats jumping onto a refrigerator but sometimes they'll just be dumb and eat poo poo jumping onto a chair.

There's nothing funny than seeing a cat try and make a jump, complete gently caress it up, be dazed for a second, then immediately act really cool like they 100% meant to exactly do that dumb poo poo.

Cat's are amazingly weird sometimes, but yeah that's relatable.

Growing up our family was looking after a cockatoo for a few years and it learnt to sit on a branch outside the kitchen window and imitate the kettle going off so it could laugh at who ever went to the kitchen to check the if a kettle was on the boil.

In short cockatoos are awesome buggers.

If you're talking about horse archers, you're talking about horses who are archers.

The trampoline dude is a horse riding archer.

The trick is to get a horse riding archer riding a horse archer. Twice the archer!

Words that could only ever come from naive child who's never had to fight a worse to the death on a battle field, after discovering it standing next too a large pile of bloody goop that used to be your squad.

No, no, humanity isn't surviving a war with them. That sheer blood lust just isn't in us.

When we say an animal kills someone it has to have hate in its heart when it does it. Like Hippos.

People running over deer and getting killed in the process doesn't count.

Deer knowingly sacrifice themselves in their ongoing attempt to remove humanity from this planet.

Very respectable creatures.
