also btw i read somewhere that Musth (the manic episode) can be shortened down to approximately 2 weeks when the elephants are restrained (with a metal chain) and practically starved a bit (given very little food) for a while. (they survive ofc)
The image from the OOP is in the article. TL;DR, male elephants get crazy angry when they’re horny you assert their dominance.
Musk is a male asshole characterized by aggressive Nazi behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.
Musth, not Musk
Fuck off.
Fuck off.
Uhhh no u
Uhhh no u
No u.
No u.
Could we try going five minutes without bringing him up? It’s exhausting.
Idk why my keyword filter didn’t pick this comment up but I wish it did
I think the keyword filters are just for posts, at least for the client I’m using (Thunder). However I would love if comment filtering was a thing.
Some apps do have comment foltering by keywords such as Summit! (Disclaimer: I am the developer)
Are you implying that he would be the most emotionally intelligent and empathetic animal on the planet, were it not for puberty?
He was doing really well before he met Trump in the white house for the first time. He was still an idiot, and apparently a Nazi, but he was very quiet about being a Nazi, and he was good at getting people excited for electric cars and space travel
i get that he was good at getting people excited for electric cars and space travel, but that’s no excuse to slashing social safety nets. and that’s definitely what he intended to do when given the chance. it was only due to public backlash that it was stopped. sociopathic behavior.
Oh no, he was always a weird psycho and certified idiot. But musk before and meeting Trump in the Whitehouse is night and day
Rent free
Do you have to pay rent to think about something?
That sounds expensive. Unless, of course, you’re more comfortable not holding into any thought. 🤣
He should be paying rent for occupying your thoughts
Lol.
Proud of ourselves, are we?
Weirdo
the cycle between the day and the night represents the cycle of mania and peace
TIL elephants experience pon farr.
Just last night, we were watching a show that featured this fact about elephants, and I turned to my girlfriend and made this exact comment! Hilarious
What’s that
Just want to point how weird it is that Spock’s wife is so patient, understanding, and loving in SNW when she’s such an evil conniving bitch in TOS and that’s only a few years later. I’m assuming we’re going to see spock do something awful to her.
I mean he is kind of in love with the ship’s nurse, it’s not hard to imagine what comes next.
Yeah good point, and t’ping is already kind of aware of it.
Well because of how “evolution” - it makes you produce more babies than the others that didn’t fuck and kill. So… That.
So… Why?
E.g. does it drive predators away and their offspring has a higher chance of survival?
Animals that fuck more propagate their genes more. If they’re also violent, they’re probably taking out their competitors, and the non-violent ones are likely first to go.
If we hadn’t already nuked ourselves by slaughtering the bees, and the bees suddenly took 80 % of our living space from us to expand their own, we’d be nuking them.
The fascinating part is, why aren’t the smart, massive matriarchs ordering all humans stomped on sight?
One of us is drunk and not making sense… im not 100% sure, but im leaning toward you…
elephant pregnancy lats 22 months
makes sense that elephant psychosis would last longer too
Why?
Real reason is males are mostly solitary and elephant territories are enormous. Being horny for months gives the males enough motivation to seek out the herd of women and children over the long distances.
The rhinoceros beetle says “check this slab of HOT bug SEX sitting before you upon a stick. My stick. No one else may perch upon my throne, my lair, my kingdom, lest they be smote upon the ground like so much errant detritus. I am a fucking god.” Sex appeal is weird across the animal kingdom.
