$19 strawberry is insane…

The fact that it’s imported from Japan at that price is just dumbfounding.

Like, there’s no way it can be better than the same variety grown locally and eaten fresh.

They’re probably flying these fucking these over to still be “fresh”.

Just setting their money and our planet on literal fire for social media flexes.

Really?

So the reason they tried to start a national movement to vote Republican when it was Obama…

That wasn’t the progressive policy he was campaigning on?

I thought that’s what it was, if not, why do you think a bunch of boomer “moderates” just could stomach voting for Barrak Obama?

What charestic besides policy stances do you think made them go Republican, assuming you’re right they’d have voted for Bernie.

The truth is, if Bernie was the candidate we wouldn’t have needed them, just like we didn’t need them for Obama

As far as I can tell there’s just this one dolphin who’s been seen doing it.

I mean, how many do you need?

It’s not exactly an ethical study to go around plugging blowholes and seeing how many live…

In the example of one who could, it appears the dolphin had a narrow blowhole (reminiscent of Hank Hill’s urethra).

But just like Hank could still pee, the dolphin could still breathe somewhat thru the narrow blowhole as evident by the barely noticable water spout.

That would have resulted in the dolphin surfaces more and for longer times, which probably gave him the opportunity to learn how to breathe thru its mouth.

Maybe not all can do it.

Not all humans can close off their nasal passage, that’s why some people have to wear nose plugs when swimming.

I have to pop my ears all the time, because of that I can close my nasal or throat passage on control, other people learn to do it for other activities…

But every single dolphin could be capable, just no reason to learn.

And in the (at most) 5 minutes it would take a dolphin to suffocate from a fucking eel clogging it’s blowhole just ain’t always enough time.

We have no idea how often it happens and the dolphin lives, or dies.

We do t have enough data to be making hard claims, and no one is torturing enough dolphins to find out.

Dolphins can breathe thru their mouths tho.

There’s been some with damaged blowholes who have to resort to that.

What they do normally is like when you can “block” the connection of one or the other so air only goes thru one path. No idea how to describe that, or if other people can do it tho.

But if a dolphin needs to they can breathe thru their mouths just fine.

Yep.

People always act shocked when shit like this happens, but it’s hardwired incredibly deeply.

100s of millions of years of evolution where if you didn’t have the resources to raise a child, or just an inordinate amount of stress…

It was better for yourself and your future offspring to not invest anymore resources in the kid.

Like, I’m a dude, I’ll literally never experience it. But I can still understand why it happens, and that’s the first step to understanding how to prevent.

The easiest thing in the world should be turning in an unwanted child, I’d even go as far as to advocate for the parents to have a route to regain custody within so many days. It certainly wouldn’t be ideal, but some people just need a fucking break to get their mind right and then they’d be decent parents.

But it’s easier to label people evil. And say only an evil person would do this.

It makes us feel better because then we “know” there’s nothing we could have done and it won’t happen to us.

But that’s just not true
