It’s almost as if focusing on eradicating the factors that drive people to addiction, rather than criminalizing the addiction itself, has a better outcome. who would’ve guessed 🤔🤔🤔
OKAY WAIT I HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING.
One of the other consequences is that Lisbon now does have a drug problem… with fake drugs. Seriously. People are hawking flour as ‘cocaine’ and ground bay leaves as ‘hashish’ to tourists on the street. The police have run anti-bay-leaf campaigns, but they can’t arrest these dealers because the items they’re selling are perfectly legal, and technically if a tourist is stupid enough to buy flour and think it’s cocaine, that’s their own fault.
What a great ‘drug problem’ to have.

the only bad part about going to the zoo is hearing adult men confidently tell their kids or gfs objectively incorrect information about the animals we’re looking at and having to remain silent. do u know the restraint it takes to say nothing when a grown adult man tells someone “falcons are in the same family as eagles” next to me? no babygirl. no.
fyi falcons are not closely related to other birds of prey (hawks/eagles/buzzards). falcons are actually parrots that minmaxed for a glass cannon dps build.
assault parrots, if you will

How is the parasaurolophus used its horn for sound resonating idea seen nowadays?
a-dinosaur-a-day answered:
100% the leading hypothesis. we’ve even modeled what the sound would be like
Sometimes if I get the exact right/wrong amount of drunk ill cry a little bit because i will never hear a parasaurolophus call.
i just
why would they need to be so loud? did they spend a lot of time spread apart from each other?
do you think they made contact calls, like parrots and other birds of today?
do you think they spread out foraging, calling out to each other?
"I am thinking of you. Are you thinking of me? I am lonely, but not when I can hear you. I will see you soon."
i just. fuck dude. i am once again having feelings about the parasaurolophus. i'm only crying a little bit.
I mean, thats *exactly* what we think they were doing!
Plus, lots of hadrosaurs (the group Parasaurolophus is in) lived alongside each other, and they all would have been that loud and constantly talking to each other. So they needed to be able to tell which calls were whose!
oh to romance a fellow hadrosaur by bellowing from a great distance, singing a song that would be totally unique, only to be complimented and returned by an equally beautiful call from across the late cretaceous marshes. I think it would be beautiful actually. I would like to see that documentary
honestly the more we are able to find out about dinosaurs and sound the clearer it is that sound was just as important to nonavian dinosaurs as it is to modern birds
the Mesozoic was loud and everyone had something to say
#i am so heartbroken i will never see a dinosaur
good news! if you've seen a bird, you've seen a dinosaur!
