Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

It has come to my attention that The Kids These Days are unfamiliar with the majesty of the Evil Overlord List. Clearly I must share it for the benefit of future generations of aspiring villains, who are languishing without such important advice as "I will not turn into a snake. It never helps."

 

Always a good time

 

I feel like the marvel version of this would be Deadpool and SHIELD

 

Why do humans dance when there's music (and sometimes when there's not)? Even babies will move to a beat instinctually. It's also not something I've ever seen in other animals, mating practices aside

 

I've seen parrots dance to music!

 

parrots 100% dance to music, just as they sing along if they like the song!
I reckon it has something to do with modes of communication? Other animals with vocalizations that get very musical and who have a high play drive might be similarly inclined?

 

Oh my god that's adorable

 

Yeah, humans and birds are two animals I can think of where many of the members find completely sound-based communication sufficient for many purposes.

 

This isn't the same thing, but it's really cute and entertaining. Here is a guy singing a duet of "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz with a chickadee:



A long-distance boyfriend, while visiting me, once asked me what the "gorilla birds" were. This is the mighty Gorilla Bird, with hand for scale:

 

BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY

 

Man people who have cats who enjoy music are lucky, growing up my family’s cat would bite me for singing

I think animals responsiveness to music also depends on whether their hearing range matches up well, as well as whether sound based communication is much of a thing for them. Domesticated animals are weird because they adjust behaviors to communicate with humans on a trial and error basis sometimes; feral cats don’t meow but a lot develop specific types of meows for different situations when raised with humans, and which type of meow fits with which situation is individualized, a meow of a tone that means ‘hungry’ from one cat could mean ‘pet me’ from another cat in a different home

 

This is blessed content

If u dont know about bohug, he is her childhood fave plushie and he is also in a lot of her comics

 

what are those shorts that look stupid on frat boys but fantastic on lesbians? board shorts? cargo shorts? some other kind of shorts?

 

I think it could be true of either, but board shorts are I THINK closer to swim trunks and cargo shorts are definitely the ones with zillions of pockets, if that helps?

 

pockets i choose you

 

There's also flat front shorts, which are the classic frat salmon pink ones, which get my vote personally (and come in many colors not salmon pink)
