All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I'm not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.

No, but I'd consider it for a large group of states. The US dividing into 2 countries is better than some other outcomes I can imagine.

Don't be kinkshaming.

Hear hear! Shaming Americans for their preference for unhealthy food is pretty racist.

I don't think you can prove that people can't do something well, by doing it yourself poorly.

"Look how humorously badly I keep missing the target! See? Sharpshooters could never hit something like this at this distance!"

BTW 100x is only possible with very small arthropods, the larger the ant or spider and the smaller that strength to weight ratio can be.

Now admittedly we can't really know how large the spider and turtle are, if they are much smaller than I am imagining then my incredulity may be similarly out of proportion.

Every picture of a fishing spider I can find is holding its (smaller than this turtle) prey at the water's edge, not dangling upside down with it in midair. They hunt by walking on the water, not by dangling and snatching from above. Are we to believe it caught its prey the normal way and then walked it up to that awkward position?

I imagine the weight of that turtle to be considerably more than that frog.

Also how do you think that spider is holding that turtle? Just what do you think has a grip on what?

Also zoom in and notice the odd gray smudging along the spider leg that is in front of the turtle shell. I'm no Photoshop expert but that looks suspicious to me.

Came here to say Dijon mustard. A jar of mustard lasts me 6 months, so a couple extra bucks for the good stuff doesn't amount to much.

There is also a potential health difference. Lunch meat tends to be loaded with preservatives and falls into the category of "processed meat".

There's nothing wrong with new england maple syrup, but yes, real maple syrup not "pancake syrup" with maple flavoring.

It's not a spider preying on a vertebrate that is hard to believe, it is the lifting. Even ignoring the physics of the situation, I don't think fishing spiders hunt that way.

People act like they've forgotten that there are other ways than AI to fake an image.
