A View Into The Past

paints appeared when approximately 80% of those 200,000 years were already gone.

kingdoms started appearing when 97.5% of those 200,000 were already gone.

most of the the technological progress happened in the last 200 years only, when 99% of those 200,000 years were already gone.

modern things are so young. weird.

i learned that the oldest known Homo Sapiens is over 233,000 years old, 30,000+ years more than we thought (x)

They never listen

“i’m finally done!!” no ur not u have 823479821378925 more assignments to do

whoaa, thanks for educating me about that

read about it a bit and turns out that ligers, tigons, white tigers, and liligers look pretty cool but they have many problems that are reaally uncool. 

here’s something from a PETA article:

“White tigers’ neonatal mortality rate reportedly exceeds 80 percent.  And they are at significant risk for facial deformities, impaired depth perception, retinal degeneration, abnormal cranial structure, cataracts, cleft palates, mental impairment, kidney problems, cardiac defects, Parkinson’s disease, scoliosis, and other spinal problems.”

“Ligers (the result of breeding a female tiger with a male lion) frequently have to be delivered by cesarean section because they’re predisposed to gigantism and often don’t survive. Like all big-cat hybrids, they frequently suffer from neurological defects, sterility, cancer, arthritis, organ failure, and diminished life expectancy.“

“Tigons (the result of breeding a female lion and a male tiger) are not expected to survive infancy and—in the event that they do—have a heightened risk of suffering from a number of neurological and physical conditions, all so that exhibitors can make money selling tickets to see them.”

which is quite sad,,

The hybrid offspring of lions and tigers

Contrary to what one might think, tigers and lions are not different species (based on the strict definition, but you should know that there are like 26 or something different definitions for species) since they can reproduce together.

The offspring of male lion and female tiger is called liger. It is bigger than tigers and lions. This is because female lions mate with many males and due to that the offspring may not have the same father. It is beneficial to the male that his offspring manipulates the female to invest in it more than in the offspring of other males. It is not good to the female and that is why she has a counteradaptation to the manipulation. Tigers’ mating system is different. Because of it female tigers don’t have such an adaption, causing the offspring of her and a male lion to become huge: the hybrid offspring manipulates the mother and she doesn’t have a way to avoid it.

The offspring of male tiger and female lion is called tigon and it is smaller than tigers and lions. This is because male tigers don’t have an adaption to make their offspring to manipulate the female, but female lions have the counteradaption to avoid being manipulated. Due to the counteradaption the hybrid offspring becomes smaller then the non-hybrid offspring.

Russia Totally Screws Up Space Launch

The classified payload Angara-1 rocket was supposed to deliver to orbit for Russia wasn't working after it launched last month. "Z" is paint

it's so messed up how they put hate for ukraine on their rocket too

On This Day In History

March 25th, 1811: Percy Bysshe Shelley is expelled from the University of Oxford for publishing the pamphlet The Necessity of Atheism.

Imagine how cool it would've looked irl

The Sun rises over Earth in a postcard illustrated by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, recalling the 1965 mission when he became the first human to walk in space.

Makes me think how vulnerable we really are,,, considering how we still haven't observed any aliens yet and how they might as well not exist, life is really precious, but it can be destroyed at any moment,,

The site of impact from the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago is called Chicxulub Crater

The center of the crater is located near the Mexican town of Chicxulub, after which the crater is named. The crater is larger than 180 km in diameter; this feature makes it one of the largest confirmed impact structures on Earth. The meteorite that formed the crater was at least 10 km in diameter.

The age of the rocks shows that this impact structure dates back to the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago.

The impact associated with the crater is implicated in the extinction of dinosaurs, as suggested by the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (K-Pg boundary), the geological boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods, although some critics argue that the impact was not the only reason, others debate whether there was a single impact or whether the Chicxulub impact was one of several that could have hit the Earth at about the same time.

Recent data suggest that the impact may have been created by a piece of a much larger asteroid, which fragmented into a distant space collision more than 160 million years ago.

The car that hit the Earth had an estimated diameter of 10 km, and emitted an estimated equivalent of 96 teratons of TNT. By contrast, the most powerful explosive device ever detonated by man, the Tsar's Bomb, had a yield of only 50 megatons of TNT so the impact of Chicxulub is 2 million times higher and stronger.

don't lose your head!

tried a new art style ^^

p.s. ducklord is the name I use on another site!!

sorry for the bad quality lol, the art style test kinda ruined it
