DUCK UPDATE: IT HAS IMPRINTED AND THINKS THIS BOY IS IT’S MOMMY. OMG
Okay, seriously, guys. Imprinting isn’t a long process like this. In ducks and geese, the critical period is usually around 24-48 hours. The duck’s been imprinted on him for a while now, if he was present at the time of hatching.

Incredible Full-Scale Lego X-Wing
From Gizmodo:
This is truly unbelievable: Lego has built a 1:1 scale model of the X-Wing fighter using an astounding 5,335,200 bricks! It’s as big as the real thing, capable of fitting the real Luke Skywalker—and Porkins.
This thing is absolutely incredible. It makes the Lego sets we used as kids look like…well… child’s play.

Pay day.
Somebody stole this necklace from my University’s Fine Arts building.

so for my schools Senior prank someone put gold fish in all the water bottles. I’m
The real fault here lies with whatever lfs employee sold all these (probably feeder) fish to some kid, without asking where they were going. In the picture alone, there are ~24 fish visible, and that number is multiplied by each row of bottles. Unless you’re stocking a pond with feeders (no one does that), or you’ve got a separate tank to hold your feeders in until they’re used (what high school kid has a tank system that well planned?), there’s no reason to buy that many at once.
For the day’s time they sat in these tiny bottles, their biological functions did not cease; as they respired, the water became less and less oxygenated (regardless of the fact that carp can survive in relatively poorly oxygenated water), and as they excreted, it became more ammoniated. Some fish care sites suggest a 20 gallon tank for one goldfish, and an additional ten for each subsequent addition, just because of the amount of waste they produce.
I find it funny that at my university, we’re not allowed to conduct any experiments with goldfish (they’re vertebrates and that requires a bunch of red tape for experimentation), but you can buy a goldfish (or a betta) and just stick it in whatever sized anything you think is okay. I’ll put up a video of the betta I care for. He lives in a ten gallon aquarium, and as opposed to the sickly individuals you often see in bowls, he swims actively.
When I was in HS, the seniors took apart a VW Beetle and reassembled it in the main lobby. We didn’t need to put organisms through unnecessary stress for kicks.

I’m sorry I’m sad a lot. I’m doing the best I can.
And you do a good jorb, Stoophnoo.

Pretty agitated.
Girl I’m working with keep talking over me. When I give up trying to respond and turn around, she just keeps talking. And it’s not even that fast shit; it’s slow and almost labored, but constant. And she keeps bring up her fiance. I’m sorry, I didn’t know asking you which Pokemon you were playing was flirting; if I did, I wouldn’t have asked because I’m not interested.
Would people be as comfortable buying meat if the date the animal was KILLED was displayed alongside the ‘best before’ date? Consumers should remember that meat is the dead flesh from a once living breathing sentient animal who didn’t want to die.
actually i would feel more comfortable. it would make choosing fresher meat easier. thats a very good idea.
when vegan ideas backfire completely
From that standpoint, it’d be nice to have some idea of the individual’s history too; if there were any illnesses present in life.
