Silly sketches with rats

I kinda lived half of 2023 (maybe more) like a drowning rat in a bucket but this year I'll live like a normal rat. outside of a bucket

Scared of snakes? No worries… this one’s actually a lizard! Meet the slender glass lizard (Ophisaurus attenuatus). While you might spot it coiled up like a snake to intimidate foes, the resemblance is only superficial. Unlike snakes (which have ocular scales called brilles), this reptile has eyelids that can blink. Whereas snakes “hear” through vibrations, the slender glass lizard has ear holes (like humans). And while snakes can dislocate their jaw bones to swallow large prey whole, the slender glass lizard cannot. It typically dines on pint-sized prey like insects and small reptiles.

personally i am a big Act 1 guy. no character development for me thanks!!

as a person who started going bald many years ago, that is actually an incredibly popular opinion, mostly from people who aren't losing their hair who see me walking down the street. it's usually the first thing they say, as they crawl out from under a dense foliage of brunette or platinum blonde.

"did you know-" they pipe up enthusiastically and without prompt, "-you sure would look great if you shaved your head!"

but i know the truth. i mean, a working set of kidneys on the average American diet is rare enough as it is, but a full head of hair? these freaks want me to shave my head so they can sneak into my bathroom and ransack my leftover hair. assimilating my hair onto their head must not be easy and i suspect necromancy is involved. BUT I KNOW YOUR GAME AND I SHANT BE PLAYING.

i will instead be following in the footsteps of my short, neurotic forefathers.

a lot of people don't seem to want to look like this anymore. but someone needs to be brave enough to keep this rich tradition alive. balding men are an endangered species, threatened by an all-encompasing compulsion of modern men who want to look like Mr. Clean.

listen, i get it. Mr. Clean is hot. but this trend is disastrous for the Men's Hairstyle ecosystem.

be the bald you want to see in the world.

might be an unpopular opinion but i feel like if you're balding enough you should just shave that shit and be completely bald. stop hanging onto whatever you have left it never looks good. own your baldness

Why do men have nipples?

it's not just human men, it's all placental mammals!

pour one out for all of the "I found this weird lump on my male cat's chest, what is it" posts on r/cats

the short answer is: because it's easier.

so, natural selection is lazy. it tends to take the quickest and easiest path to any given solution and can only work with what it already has, so it's really reluctant to drop traits that aren't actually hurting anything by being around! like male nipples.

and since male and female mammals in general start as the same weird little flesh tadpole thing and only start to diverge a couple months into development, it's waaaay easier to just leave male mammals with mostly non-functional nipples than it is to patch them out and maybe bork up something with the female nipples by mistake.

tldr: it's because evolution is naturally lazy.

✨️ ok here's some rodent gifs i made ✨️

obsessed with stories that start out silly and stupid and then turn out to be deep and heartbreaking in their beauty. like okay, make me cry at midnight while i reflect on the true meaning of friendship i guess

Millipede under UV light. Many species of arthropods fluoresce, or glow, under ultraviolet light due to due to fluorescent compounds in their exoskeletons. At least one millipede genus, motyxia, is actually bioluminescent, meaning it can produce light on its own.
