"C'mon Olympians it's bedtime, time to go to your anti fuck beds!"

wtf is the "weight of one person"?

they're acting like some of the athletes aren't 95lbs and others 300lbs+

juani-de-molina

Yeah, you bring a good point. I know weighlifters and other fat athletes get treated like shit on the daily, but this is excessive

autisticshonenprotag

this is completely fake btw. these beds are intended to be recyclable and can hold up to 440lbs/200kg. there are no reputable outlets reporting on this “anti-sex” beds and the only ones that do are citing the tweet above. here’s another article disproving it like yes fat athletes get treated like shit and it’s important we talk about it but this whole anti sex bed thing is 100% untrue lol

I am in borderline tears that the anti fuck beds are fake. This was supposed to be the highlight of my July

souljaboyplayingbraid asked:

What makes the shelled slug a slug? Is it distinct from a snail with a very small shell? Is there another fundamental difference between slugs and snails besides the shell?

bogleech answered:

“Slug” actually has no real biological meaning! It’s the name we decided to give various unrelated snails whose shells are gone or at least not visible, with most common slugs still having at least a very small, internal piece of shell!

There’s actually a whole smooth gradient between this and the fully shelled gastropods, and many languages around the world just use the same single word for all of them instead of trying to distinguish a “slug” and “snail” at all.

Here’s some species with shells in various states of being covered over by tissue, shrunken or lost:

bogleech

A snail’s shell gives it a lot of protection wherever it goes, but still can’t protect it from everything, and it is physically cumbersome as well, limiting where a snail can go! It may be able to pull into its shell and wedge itself in the crook of a tree or under a rock, but a raccoon or a bird can still pull it out and crack the shell open.

By losing the shell, a slug becomes more vulnerable when it is caught in the open, but when it isn’t foraging it can squeeze itself down into the narrowest gaps in stone, wood or soil, deeper than any snail can hide itself, and deeper than those larger predators can reach.

This gives slugs and snails different strengths and weaknesses against not only predators, but the climate: in some environments, slugs will have to retreat underground before the sun dries them up, but snails can just hide from the heat in their shells.

In other environments, the heat is enough to still roast the snails, but the slugs who made it deep enough into the earth are completely fine!

Still one more trade-off is in energy consumption: a snail needs to consume a great deal of calcium to build its shell, and if there isn’t enough calcium in its environment, the shell will develop so poorly that the snail can die. “Fuel requirements” are actually the single biggest thing dictating an animal’s form; every single part of a creature demands enough food and of just the right variety, so a creature that seems “simpler” is actually just a more fuel-efficient form that conserves a whole lot more energy.

huh! that's probably why the PNW has more (visible) slugs than snails we have shit for calcium in dirt/plants due to all the rain washing it out.

The same thing happened when Airbnb started as “you got a spare room? why not rent it out to a visitor for a few nights? you get some extra cash and they get a nice place to stay while they visit the city” and it immediately turned into “I’m gonna buy up every available unit in this condo building downtown and rent them out short term, contributing to massive rent increases, severe housing shortages, loud inconsiderate assholes treating places where people are supposed to live like cheap no-restriction hotels, and then bitch and moan when Airbnb gets banned from my building before just continuing on anyway”

ETD is working a lot later than usual. He usually’s home by 5 or 6 these days, and Holly Mop seems to understand when this is, so at 5 she got up on the bed all excited. When he didn’t show up, she went back down for a nap. I woke up from a nap at 6ish to find her gone and found her sitting in the kitchen staring at the back door, tail wagging. But for every passing minute, he didn't come home the sadder her tail got.

It’s now 9pm and she’s resorted to old habits.
