The One Rule of Nature School Never Taught You

[@benschultz1784]

The reason why vegans have to take a shit-ton of supplements to not die is why most herbivores do occasionally eat meat. We had pet dwarf hamsters and one straight up murdered and ate the other one.

[@OfficerHotpants]

Pre-processed material is just easier to work with. _Especially_ if it's eggs. An egg is a starter pack containing everything needed to _make a living creature,_ and that's too much of an opportunity to pass up.

[@FireTurkey]

I mean hamsters are solitary rodents so, checks out.

[@wronin8244]

Hamsters are notorious cannibals and are one of the only rodents that are solitary (male mice also have to be kept alone bc they live in harems so males will fight with each other)

[@godzillagaming1766]

The answer to the orangutan question is as male orangutans age, some of them grow big cheek pads on their faces, called flanges (flanged males), while others keep their kid faces (unflanged males)

I love how humans find herbivores eating meat disturbing even tho we eat basically every species existing, including ourselves.

[@AlejandroFlores-vi8tl]

"including ourselves" I don't know about you but that is also disturbing.

[@Mare_Man]

It's not surprising for us because we aren't herbivores.

[@barney993]

Because most people think herbivore are "innocent" creatures who only eat plants. Animal are animal, they will eat meat if given the chance.

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

​@@AlejandroFlores-vi8tlThe fact remains that it is rare for cannibalism in humans, and usually in times of crisis, and that's also why animals do it. A lack of nutrients in a specific category will eventually kill anything, and an animal who literally never knows when it's next meal is gonna be us going to take anything it can. Resources are finite, always. We as a species will eventually have to resort to it because we are stupid overpopulated and just kill anything that eats a human and their entire species in hatred.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

@@AlejandroFlores-vi8tlFor normal people to turn to cannibalism is rare, yes. But there was once a cannibal, by choice, with a roadside BBQ joint… he liked to share, apparently it blends well with pork

-He is canonically a decorator crab, not a coconut crab.- Sorry, you are correct! I know I read somewhere he was a decorator crab (which fits the way he accessorizes his shell, so I accepted it).

[@ArcticTron]

To answer your question about Orangutans having those weird faces those are only seen on males and not all of them, usually ones that have a lot of testosterone. It helps with vocalizations, and it seems to be more attractive to female orangutans. Also I want to use this opportunity to recommend a new content creator called Paleo Analysis and a video from him called "Paleo Catalog: Smilodon (Saber Tooth Cat)" I think you'd like his stuff.

[@mortified776]

19:40 the amount of videos i've seen where a deer smashed thru a window, or crashed into a parked car... they get up, they're fine, but there was a whole lot of yelling with the window one; i think it was a hair salon it crashed into in one vid, and it wasn't empty

[@nodical802]

The reason why schools don’t teach this is because if they did, the parents would immediately push back. But you shouldn’t have to be taught that, it’s common sense to me that food is food.

When our guy ends his nature videos he goes, 'hug your loved ones, stay safe out there-" In my head I add, "carry a loaded twelve gauge with a backup piece because you gotta be ready for when this shit comes for you" - "and I'll see y'all in the next one."

[@CassieMichael]

Yeah, I was always on the side of "yeah, humans will eat anything, but if we were classified as predator or prey, when it really comes down to it, as a group, we're prey." Because, people will run if one person runs, even if it's for no reason. It's an instinctual fear of something coming to get you. People are scared of things that usually make sense, like the dark, or big animals that might either kill to eat or kill to defend. Scared of spiders, yeah, there's a reason for that. Snakes? Same thing. I know a phobia is considered an IRRATIONAL fear of something. But, is it really irrational, if you think of why people would be scared of that so-called "not scary" thing?

[@electricbayonet2]

But is that enough to classify humans as a prey species? From the description, it sounds like we would be pack hunters (especially of the pursuit predator variety). We don’t rely on overpowering prey or having some exceptionally deadly natural weapon. Instead, we travel in groups with individual stamina that drops a heck of a lot more slowly than the stuff we’re chasing.

[@CassieMichael]

@@electricbayonet2 Don't think I don't know what you're talking about. I do. But, there are other facts that don't jive with your response. Predators, as a rule have sharp teeth. Humans don't. You could say that plenty of herbivores can have sharp teeth, like gorillas and hippos, but that's for defense. Humans don't defend themselves with their teeth. You could also say that humans are natural omnivores, but most bears are omnivores and all bears have sharp teeth. Humans are so contradictory. We have no defenses, no physical offenses, and no superior strength or speed. The only thing we have going for us, evolutionarily speaking, is our brain. And, if we never learned how to create and then use projectile weapons like javelins or throwing rocks from high places down onto other animals, we'd never have gotten away from the trees and a leafy diet with fruit supplements. But, as of now, humans are absolutely broken for no sensible reason. According to nature, humans should be herbivorous prey animals in the vein of gibbons and lemurs. We aren't supposed to be hunters. But, someone used a cheat code and a huge command prompt on us. That's what I think. It's no wonder there are those out there that think that humans were created through DNA manipulation by aliens. It would explain a lot.

[@bluekeldeo7515]

The reason that phobia is irrational is that it’s very VERY severe fear. The the point of obsession and convulsions. Phobias are misinterpreted throughout social media. It’s not fear, it’s worse. You cannot think about what’s causing that phobia even if something remotely represents it. It disturbs your way of life and basic functions.

[@electricbayonet2]

@@CassieMichael But we _do_ have sharp teeth. They’re the front-half of our mouths. We don’t use them primarily to kill things or defend ourselves, but why would that matter? We’re advanced omnivores, and it was the evolutionary dead-ends of mankind that had more pronounced teeth and biting capability. Contradictory? Did you ignore what I said about being pursuit predators? What part of that needs rhino skin, cheetah speed, and shark teeth? Are anacondas and pythons prey species because they don’t have a set of beeg mordar teef? And you know what? Yes. I agree. If humans were bad at the stuff we’re good at, we would actually be bad at it. It’s a logical tautology. Congratulations.

[@CassieMichael]

@@electricbayonet2 I do wonder if sometimes people think that just because we have big brains that automatically makes you smarter than others. If the front of a human's mouth were sharp, we'd be fictional vampires. Also, rhino skin, cheetah speed, and shark teeth never came up in my explanation, but thank you for adding them unnecessarily to this conversation. Anacondas and pythons do have "beeg mordar teef" as you so Neanderthal ically out it. They're effing SNAKES, dummy! Don't be stupid. And, as for your final comment, it's nice to see someone being a complete waste of passive aggressive space on the Internet. But, that's par for the course, now, isn't it?
