i got a buddy whos sister did this with a skunk.. it was a young one who apparently got separated from mom somehow, not nursing but, not really ready to be alone, mom freaked out seeing a skunk, dad told her to take it to the barn and put it in the ferret stall, it didnt spray anybody, infact... it became so human and human-pet friendly they didnt have to have it deglaned... the vet helped her get a permit to keep it as a pet testifying it was too young to survive alone, it should have spent another year learning from mom or something... since we didnt find any bodies in the area around, we figure perhaps something chased them and one got lost.. when it saw his sister, it came running to her...she fed it part of her sandwitch, realized it was skunk but that it was also really friendly..she thought it might be somebodies pet with how friendly it was being... (it crawled up in her lap as she sat on the log and curled up in a ball...) that thing loved me, and was a great guard-skunk... they had some signs made up "property secured by polecat security" a few people learned the hard way, that wasnt a joke... one was trying to steel eggs or chickens from the coop, the skunk went out the dog/cat flap making quite alot of noise causing my buddies mom to get up and look outside in time to see their skunk run over, and spray both of them then... his at them as they exited the area... she called the cops and... well the local ER had 2 guys who had been sprayed less then an hour later... both couldnt stop vomiting from the stench.. LOL..

Fun fact, science has proven that a cat's purr is on a frequency that causes several effects to the human body including the following, increased dopamine response, slightly accelerated healing, and a resonance in our skeletal structure that is considered quite relaxing. In other words Fusby just caused a greater then normal cat response when she was around them, nothing that wasn't seen before just at higher levels.

It's possible the stormclouds consist of vast amounts of positive ions, and with the shield being a electron barrier, it would act as a perfect starter for lightning leads. But it doesn't have to be positive at all for lightning to form, just that one pole has to be significantly less negative than the other.

Well written and fun, good use of body motion, such as describing Fubsy's antics and depicting zeno reactions. The Pov characterwas great and the unique persective of making them a humanity enthusiast was a really good touch that was well implemented. I really like how most of her information come from the one book, and putting quotes from the book before each chapter was a fun way to show off the little cultural misunderstandings that make the setting feel more real. Also, author knew when to give info and when to withold it. I definitely want to know what happened with the Glim. Damn good story.

I know it's not technically a genre all its own, but it SHOULD be. It's just such a clever, and new idea, it deserves more attention, and I hope there are still people writing them. It's so refreshing. I didn't even realize I had gotten to the point I was bored with all the same old space junk until I stumbled across deathworlders. The guy that created it is pretty damn amazing!

I am not downloading their shitty app, and their website sucks on mobile, and I've heard you can patch some of the old apps so they still work, but I couldn't find a safe looking akp site...anyway, this stuff is really fun. Edit I didn't search for Reddit stuff, but I did rant a LOT about the end of Reddit and my whole house is spying on everything I say and do in exchange for a nice phone and smart tv dongle.

It's interesting how human sweating pops up all over stories like this as the one explanation for our endurance. As far as I am aware we actually share the trait of primarily cooling down via breathing with other animals, but the full body motions made when galloping impede quadrupeds' ability to breath deeply enough to efficiently use this mechanism while fleeing at full speed. I don't know what would happen if a prey animal didn't panick and trotted away instead of galloping.
@theapexsurvivor9538
@theapexsurvivor9538 Жыл бұрын
We use breathing for rapid thermoregulation of our inner core and circulatory system, but sweating is our primary method of sustained cooling. Basically, breathing is great for venting a lot of heat in a short time, but requires a degree hyperventilation and lower ambient temperatures to work well, while sweating is good if you want to lose a fairly consistent amount of heat over a long time and don't want to screw up the oxygen-carbon balance in your blood and muscles. It's also mostly passive, requiring very little energy compared to panting, making it harder to starve yourself with it (though you still do need oils, water, etc). Combined with having the shortest hair of any heavily perspiring animals (followed by horses and then apes), allowing us a high evaporation surface without much water or heat retention, we're really fucking good at maintaining a steady pace for ages and ages without much rest or food, just needing water. It also helps that running increases the efficiency of sweating but forces specific breathing patterns, making it so that when running a reliance on breath cooling is way less efficient than sweating even for rapid cooling (gets even worse in really hot dry environments where it dries out your lungs and might even warm them up, while sweating just requires more water to maintain). TL;DR we use breathing to reduce temperature in bursts, but sweating for constant, passive reduction in temperature that is more compatible with aerobic exercises like marathons.

I had to laugh when "whistling in the graveyard" was called pointless. It shows whoever researched it was incompetent. For anyone interested it has 2-3 uses in wilderness survival. 1st is to alert easily scared prey or evasive predators (ones not looking to eat you). 2nd use is to catch other humans attention so we could track individuals in a group without direct line of sight. 3rd is to aid in moderating anxiety for whatever is about to happen (some people have very high tolerances for stress so sometimes this is irrelevant) Those are the 3 basic ones that I know just from hiking. There is a fair likelihood that there are more reasons for advertising your location but I don't immediately recall them.

I did mention one story in particular, that I could not remember at the time, which was a fantastic example of the art of engaging storytelling. THIS STORY!! Still love it. Still laugh to it. Well done. 5 ⭐!❤

For some reason I couldn't find it, unless it doesn't exist: Does this story describe the "Glint" incidents later in the series or am I skipping something I should have read/listened to before this? .... I ask this, though I'm only 2hrs into the narration.

The story never specifically states what happened, but the follow-up story "All About the Limniads" hints at it a little more. It was definitely a bit more than just an inter-species mis-communication.

Is it funny when a lot of stories are now starting to sound like the narrator? Your really good at telling a story, and emphasizing the right things. It's a shame about the nature of predators one. I thought that was really well done by you. Still good for the author too.

I loved the content and am now a subscriber but can I make a weird request? I just realized I was burning my high-speed data at 1080p for a story with no pictures for 2 hours and when I realized my mistake, I found out that it only goes down to 360p. I like to run my stories at 144p because I listen to them with one ear bud at work and don't watch the screen.

I really like that the humans aren't infallible compared to the aliens. Nerif flat out calls Zoe on her bad idea to go out hunting in the dark, because it really WAS a bad idea, showing that while aliens depend on humans to be resourceful, they're neither idiots nor without agency.

2:58::47 The Baader-meinhof phenomenon? So it has a name. I thought i was going crazy. Everyimt i heard a brand new word, i would hear someone else that couldnt have possibly known the word was said in a conversation with someone else, say the new word within a week or so of first hearing it. THen ill hear it again within a year, and than pretty much never again. Ive brought this up to friends a couple times but i had no idea it had a name. Andwatch, now that i hear a new word (the name of this phenomenon) Im going to hear someone else bring it up within a month. Someone who ive never mentioned anyone of this too. But i guess its just that i learned something new, and it stuck since im always like "OH i KNOW THAT WORD NOW!" Its just wierd its always with a week to a month of first learning it. THen rarely ever again.

If you are dropping very expensive pod like that into a ground, why the hell would you not have enough firepower and shields there to glass everything near it to create landing zone, or just orbital bombard clearing, if fast roping down is not possible. Hell few explosive charges probably could make clearing close enough that you can land a shuttle safely and can be dropped from said shuttle. 3:00:00 And this is why you carry enough firepower... witch is never enough. In this case satchel charge would been optimal solution. Toss it to where the rock sunk with a timer then run. Splatter the soft dirt all around.

So it depends on which Nighthaunt thing it is. Chainrasps are the most vicious and irredeemable criminals of the Mortal Realms. Glaivewraiths were hunters that rode down prey on horses. Grimghast reapers were the meticulous murderers who carefully plotted their kills. Bladegeist revenants are anyone who died while in a desperate struggle but met a particularly tortured end. Myrmourn Banshees were women who sought magic and eldritch power but didnt pay their respects to Nagash. Dreadscythe Harridans were healers and nuturers who prolonged life thus cheating Nagash. So most were just normal people but some were not so great.
