I used nail varnish lol. I checked out the game just now and it looks really good! ill just put it on my bucketlist of stuff to play

 

This king cobra was found in the midst of a well populated village and was promptly rescued by a team of professional snake handlers who afterwards safely released the snake into a nearby forested area away from any habitation. When threatened or stressed after immediately consuming a large meal, reptiles, particularly snakes will sometimes regurgitate the contents in their stomachs to lighten themselves to be able to make a quick getaway or defend themselves. King cobras are ophiophagous, with their diet consisting mainly of other snake species including several nonvenomous and venomous snake species, including other king cobras. This one was in the process of regurgitating a ratsnake that it had consumed.

PS. This is for educational purposes only. I cannot stress enough on the fact that you must never attempt to handle wildlife or try to relocate a snake (especially venomous ones) by yourself unless you are a trained professional or rescuer with proper equipment and training to deal with them, as not only is it very stupid and dangerous for both yourself and for the animal involved but it can very well result in grevious injury or death for the people around and for the snake.

 

I took a bit of creative and stylistic liberties with the coloration of these foxes and the arctic fox is in shades of grey instead of the more well known uniformly white winter coat because this one is modeled after their summer coat. I did try making it all white but it looked more like I had just painted only one of the earrings.

Early 20s. There isnt too much of a difference but any wounds I do get now take longer to heal than I remember and the scars stay for somewhat longer too. I could recieve the most cartoonishly outrageous injuries as a kid and in upto a year or so there would be little to no sign of them ever happening but now Im here collecting scars like a whale collects barnacles since they dont go away as fast.

I didnt ask it about amphibians, writing or any extinct species at all. I was trying to see if a name that I wanted to use for a work of fiction wasnt already in use and if said name would make sense in the context that I wanted to use it in.

I can mimic sounds and voices almost perfectly after hearing them a couple of times. Although as a kid i mostly just did do that to troll people, it did prove useful exactly once when me and a bunch of people i was with were at a forest edge and were gonna get attacked by a troop of monkeys so I barked to scare them off (they often had dogs patrolling that area that the monkeys were afraid of) The monkeys ran away but it was equal parts funny and embarassing to have to explain to these people I barely knew what that even was since I had never told them that i could do that

Yup. I didnt expect it either, its like it searched upto a certain point to gather info but couldnt find anything conclusive so made up the closest thing to what it found and called it a day. It does bullshit, but it does so very well.

How do I leave a 50/50 downvote and upvote for this lol. The downvote is for that banger of an opening sentence and the upvote is in agreement to those kinds of public speakers being annoying.

"What I think she was trying to say is that- 🤓☝️" Stop trying to put words in my mouth or speak on my behalf when I am right here to put my point across to everyone.

That followed by those public event speakers that brush off the first round of goodmornings and then say "SAy iT lOuDeR! wHeRes yOuR eNeRgY! DIdNt yOu aLl eAt bReAkfAst?! 🤪" Idk what it is about hearing this sentence early in the morning that inspires so much hatred in me. You could have the most riveting, inspiring and thought provoking presentation in the world and have done lots of commendable deeds but if that string of words exits mouth before showing all of it, I automatically dislike you and whatever you have to say next.

Same. I just quit trying to correct them after a point.

[–] Squirliss@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago

Yes that is true and thanks for pointing it out. If Im being honest here I wasnt even sure if Batrapeton was a valid name and the reason I was searching it up was to make a blatantly amphibian coded name that also wasnt already a real creature that someone had already named and described otherwise I would have to go look for a different name but every name I could come up with seemed to already be taken and described by someone or the other so I decided to google it just in case and saw that there was nothing on them chatgpt had just made that up. I wish AI had a thing in which it could inform the user that "this is what it would possibly be but it doesnt actually exist" instead of just guessing like that.

In life in general honestly. But honestly overworking is far more likely to burn me out rather than actually achieve anything groundbreaking so Id rather just work within my limits and only as much as im required to do at any given time instead of trying to strive for anything far too good that I will probably never even reach.

 

Just your daily reminder to not trust or at the very least, fact check whatever chatgpt spews out because not only does it blatantly lie, but it also makes stuff way more than youd want to believe.

(btw batrapeton doesnt exist and is a fictional genus of jurassic amphibians that I made up for a story that I am writing. They never existed in any way shape or form and neither is there any trace of info about them online yet here we are with chatgpt going "trust me bro" about them lol)

 

(P.S never attempt to handle a bat with bare hands, especially one that is grounded, active during the daytime or found in unusual places. The risk of rabies is a thing with these animals, so if you do find one, contact the nearest wildlife rehab)
