Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, especially mine. 3 million subscriber special coming (hopefully) soon. Anyway, long story short, I’m not built to be a mother in any way

[@TheBerchie]

One of my favorite Steve Irwin moments is when he walks up to a crocodile nest, turns to the camera to give info, only to dodge an attack from mama crocodile. Steve then looks at the camera and says, "As you can see, this croc is watching over her nest and is telling me to go away, and that's exactly what I'm going to do."

[@electroshockgamer2733]

One of many reasons I'm surprised Steve Irwin didn't die long before he did (no hate tho, he was a national treasure)

[@rougheredge6705]

@Free Spirit What was surprising wasn't that he died, it was the fact that he died to an animal that's normally not very deadly. It was like if a guy spent his entire life fighting in the bloodiest, most dangerous wars and then came home and got struck by lightning. Also as I understand it, before his death he wasn't quite as beloved in Australia. I don't remember hearing anything NEGATIVE about him from them, but obviously he seemed even crazier to them then he did to us cause they knew firsthand how dangerous the things he was picking up with his hands were. Damn, I love that man.

Dolphin moms staying up like that reminds me of when I was born. My dad's god-daughter had just passed from SIDS, so my mom was (understandably) panicked about it. So I stayed on her chest/in her arms almost permanently. She couldn't sleep because of the positioning and anxiety, not to mention having a newborn. I love and appreciate my mom so much ❤

[@sitcomchristian6886]

Your mom sounds like a real one! I've held my kids to sleep like that. The trick is to prop a bunch of pillows against the wall behind you. Then you can sleep on an angle while they sleep on your chest. Just be sure that, if they slide off you (it could happen), they will land on something soft, and not a hard floor. Sleep delirium is a real thing lol! I had a friend who fell asleep bottle feeding his son last at night, and the baby rolled down his legs like a video game character 🤣the boy was fine, but my friend felt terrible about it.

[@lisachiappetti6092]

Your mom is indeed a real one, like the person above me said, but tbh I'm worried about your mental health. Clingy moms aren't good because we're supposed to grow away from them over time. As a baby you're good, but if your mom was still that clingy when you were around 5, your mental health probably suffered. I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but I'm just telling it like it is

[@janemiettinen5176]

Im my mom’s first and only one, plus she was a teen, so she was constantly worried and had to check if I was still breathing while sleeping. Not to same extent as your mom, but both my grandmother and great granny thought she had lost it. Luckily I had plenty of other family to look after me, since my parents were so young - I had 5 grannies and 3 grandpas, who could give mom a break :)

Fun fact: the Harlequin octopus is the only known species of octopus to be able to mate multiple times in its life, and don't exhibit cannibalism. They're also social, forming groups up to 40. It has no scientific name, so it's just called _Octopus sp._

[@vla1ne]

makes me wonder what would happen if other octopus breeds learned pod behavior. they're arguably some of the smartest species on the planet, you'd think at some point they'd learn the cohesion skill.

[@crackededge9351]

⁠​⁠@@vla1ne Given how smart (and successful at surviving) most octopi are without any parents, there’s a possibility that most species will never develop pod behavior unless faced with an environment that punishes a lack of such behavior. “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” often applies to evolution.

To clarify for our more-sensible brethren in the world...in America, only SOME hospitals are legally required to treat you. Many are only required to stabilize you enough to send you to one that IS required to treat everyone, if you don't have insurance. Of the many things in America that I love, "Our healthcare and insurance systems" are not in that good-list. But so, a bit of 'public support medicine' to protect babies and first time mothers? I'm fine with that.

[@RaspberryPastry]

I pretty much had to teach myself everything from scratch because my mom was still a teenager when she got pregnant and had psychotic detachment issues resulting in her being chemically unable to feel love or empathy, so basically it was pure luck me and my siblings lived long enough to start taking care of ourselves, let alone avoid getting unalived during one of her bad days. She casually told us multiple times she'd thought about killing us and described the method she had in mind in detail like it was normal not to feel guilty about those thoughts, and also once threw a water balloon so hard at my head I fell face first down 10 steps worth of stairs and got a concussion when my the back of my head hit the concrete that left me blind and unable to move, and she couldn't help me because she was laughing too hard to move. All this when I was 4, if that says anything. I don't know if there's an animal equivalent for that vibe but damn, every years mothers day basically just 🎉 womb donor day 🎉

During the black water floods of Rita, I was about 15 years old and was part of the voluntary recovery crew down is Cameron Parish. It was during these times of high stress and life threatening risks that I noticed something fascinating to me at the time. Coyotes, cows, pigs, dogs, bobcats, cougars. It didn't matter what the creature was, the moment they laid their weary eyes on our lights and boats they would just come to us. All these animals willingly swam through the muck and debris to make it to the barge we were towing along behind us for the rescuing farm animals. So imagine watching all these animals, normally they would be eating, killing or freaking out. They just rode along in their little spaces... It was surreal...

Another animal that I believe should be taken into consideration is the African wild dog.

​@@emmasilver2332 I remember when people mocked the whole kids on a leash thing, but I once was driving slowly through a neighborhood (doing the speed limit, I should say), when a little girl decided to make a mad dash for the road. Her father appeared to either be getting another child situated in the back seat or getting her car seat ready. Either way, while his back was turned, the toddler made a break for it. I saw the little girl and hoped like hell the person in front of me also did. They braked, indeed seeing her. And the father? Dude probably could've put Usain Bolt to shame in that moment, lol. He snapped around and quickly caught her, just before she touched the road. A moment like that is where a leash could've really been helpful. Not blaming the father one iota, because it all happened so quick. You just never know when a kid might innocently decide to make a life-ending action, so a leash could hopefully help curb some of those Russian roulette moments.

The video creator at least needs these sponsorships to survive and continue making the content, which is already questionable enough as Abe ethical product, but what do you gain? You could at least frame your experience by thinking critically about all factors that affect the audience of your comment. My mom wasn’t drinking enough water, so a flavoring helped her be reminded or made it more pleasant to drink enough liquids, but be wary that it is an added cost and not totally necessary, would be a better way to talk about this like the smart human being I assume you actually are. People have been living long healthy lives just with plain water, and usually there are enough minerals and electrolytes in tap water (if you’re lucky enough to have potable tap), but if you feel like there isn’t, talk to a doctor first, otherwise you are just making assumptions and sharing subjective “experiences” being passed off as recommendations by a trusted person.

On the stuff about growing up with a grandmother. My granny had already helped raise me enough that by the age of 5 I prevented her from getting flatlined due to an asthma attack. Her nurse was panicking during this btw, and apparently I heard the fit, went from playing with LEGOs to her room, sped walked to the bathroom, grabbed her inhaler and got back before something got worse. Thanks granny for making me slightly more competent than the generation before me. (All of this has been told to me by my parents, as I don't remember shit from when I was this age.) Also, I was debating in my head whether she'd call me a coward for holding my words when I was tempted to say "save her WWII surviving ass from an asthma attack." Then I realised that even if she wouldn't mind, maybe some people will think I'm being disrespectful.

Not much anyone could do, though someone found some stakes to put around the nest where it wouldn’t get lawn mowered.
