No “vegetarian” animal will refuse some protein if it gets the opportunity, cows and horses love bird’s nests from time to time. Hippos actually eat a lot of meat, sometimes more than they can digest.

As I learned from my biologist colleague, there is no such thing as an obligate herbivore. That cute little bunny would literally eat your face off if it came across your corpse.

As has been noted throughout recorded history, nature is fucking metal.

I saw some squirrels eating another squirrel once.

Mosquitos have never been so mortified.

humans too.
i think if you attribute car killings to humans they beat mosquitos by a decent margin.

[–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe? Cars in the US kill like 40,000 people a year; mosquitoes kill like 725,000 people a year

Yeah but 1.35 million die globally from car crashes, far more than mosquitoes kill.

[–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Interesting. That was more than I expected when looking at like China/India/US

That looks like the official number, though. I thought mosquito deaths were being underestimated

They're pure hatred consensed in a chubby river horse.

Just imagine how angry they would be if they were tiny.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The same. They would be the same angry but the angry per kilogram would be much higher, rendering them almost as angry per kilogram as a chihuahua.

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I don't know, I have this theory where when the smaller container leaders to an increases in anger at a greater rate then the decrease in size. The angry bounces around more because of the smaller volume. This leads for the angry to increase because of the increased pressure in the container. I think this is part of Robert Boyle's foundational work.

I too hate you but don't want to eat you. I'm also fat.

Am I a hippo?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you hungry? Like, hungry hungry?

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I'm just high enough for this to be absolutely fucking hilarious! Thanks, for this!
