¡Mira, una ardilla!
Just yesterday a work buddy was complaining about one of his best friends not being able to meet any women, simply because he puts his interests first, just like the guy in those screenshots. I'm going to show these to him, so he finally realizes douchebaggery is a global pandemic.

Plastic toy dinosaurs are actually real dinosaurs, hear me out.....

Dino dies
Dino bones decay
Fossil fuels develop
Fossil fuels extracted for petroleum
Petroleum products make plastic
Plastic dinos, they live for ever!
Sorry, petroleum came from the Carboniferous era, not the Mesozoic.

Dino nuggets on the other hand...

“A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.”
 
"A tree is between 68.75 and 99.9 percent microbial, according to my calculations. That’s kind of mind-blowing, isn’t it? Trees are holobionts [assemblages of a host and the many microbial species living in or around them]. Much like we now recognize the importance of the gut microbiome in human health, we need to recognize the importance of microbes for forest health."

I wish people would stop flicking their highbeams, when they try to warn ya about a cop up ahead.

I appreciate the heads up, but you're blinding me man.

“Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery & all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered"

Even with human, there are more cells of non-human species in one meat bag than human cells. Everything is a system of systems.

Years back I got IV antibiotics for a few days and couldn't believe how long it took to get back to having normal gut function.
In hindsight there were most certainly a few things I could have done to get my good gut bacteria back to life.
At the time I had no idea about good bacteria.
