I’d argue that parents are different to a ‘leader’ as we perceive them, or as I read was suggested in the comment. Children will stick with their parents, up to the point at which they’re ready to start their own family, like you say, but is that leadership in the same sense?
But yes, I agree, pack = family is accurate.
Dogs don’t need a leader - the whole alpha male wolf thing has long been disproven, by the original author none the less. Dogs are highly social and live in groups, yes, but there’s no boss dog. Very few animals have a concept of a leader. In fact I’d argue that none do and it’s a totally human idea.
I like your cat/dog thinking idea though. Cats very much think ‘me me me’!
I believe there are such devices, but I don’t know how effective they are or how often they’re placed on turbines. I presume that as this study has been carried out, then they’re not effective enough.
Re "eventually they’ll adapt " this is a terrible approach to conservation! How many individuals need to die before you decide something isnt working? Also, if that were to work then all animals would have adapted to our existence already and there’d have never been any extinctions! I get your thinking but you’ve missed some cruicial understandings about animals. A lot of the time they simply can’t adapt, not quickly enough at least.
And here I am sat drinking beer, watching tv. The pinnacle of the evolution of the universe.
Thank you, and goodnight!
I sell the truth, that is my fan. Mits off! You now owe me $5.
Many species of butterlies and moths eat honeydew, aka aphid poop, so no nectar needed. Also the larvae do the bulk of the eating. Imagos of lepidoptera only need to survive not grow so food requirements are fairly low.
Because they live in environments lacking in the nutrients that can be gained from invertebrates (e.g. in highly acidic soil). This allows them to compete better against other plants. I guess non-flowering plants don’t need the same nutrients so can go without. Only a beginnner+ at ecological botany so someone here can surely explain better knowing lemmy!
I believe the receptor cell responds to a particular part of the molecule in question. Artificial flavourings and scents have identical (or similar enough) parts to trigger the same response, but are otherwise different molecules.
But what came first? The jellyfish or the egg??!!
So do you
Paper chains around the room!
Not a big user of condiments so the only one I’ve come up with, and therefore technically a favourite - egg yolk and ketchup. I make it when I have a fried egg so, whatever cooked breakfast combo I’ve also made with it.
Are you conflicted about finding someone you rationality don’t find attracted to, attractive? Does it feel like you’d loose your life as you currently know it, should you end up in a relationship with them because they’re so different, resulting in you loosing those other people you refer to?
You sound like you understand the differences between both people well so that’s good. Our hormones are crazy things that throw all sorts of emtions at us! Maybe try to see this as an exercise in finding/securing what you want in life, what people etc. You clearly see this other person as not your type ultimately, but they still have that ‘thing’ that makes you a bit giddy! Enjoy it for its silliness, safe that you know you’re highly unlikely to actually choose them! :)
Makes me think of the house from A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami.
