It’s 2017 and Internet assholes are using Wikipedia, itself an example of working communism, to find reasons why communism can’t work.
“Oh yeah? You think communism can work? Well here’s a bunch of history on a website written by volunteers, in open and productive collaboration with each other, with no profit motive among them, working together in a voluntary culture based on mutual aid, that proves you’re WRONG!”
Bees are awesome creatures. Even if you’re one of the few who isn’t into wearing a beard of bees, it’s still important to bee able to identify them. Thank goodness Wrong Hands made made this handy Bee Identification Chart.
This duck got himself all in a flap after inadvertently straying into the path of a giant Shoebill while heading towards water.
But it was all water off a duck’s back for the imposing 4ft tall bird which instead of eating his smaller friend, carefully picked him up in his beak and moved him aside.
Despite its fearsome reputation as a predator around water, the Shoebill seemed more concerned with completing its journey than tucking into a feathered snack.
These extraordinary pictures were captured by 51-year-old amateur photographer Mark Kay, at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in the U.S.
‘I thought the Shoebill was going to eat the duck, but soon realised he was moving him out of the way.
‘After the duck fell to the ground, he seemed flustered and just walked away. The Shoebill just carried on.’
shoutout to depressed and anxious people who often isolate themselves because they don’t have the energy to socialize, they’re scared, don’t believe anyone genuinely wants them around, etc.
The Department of Extraordinary Lobsters is putting on their Giant Lobster Claws to celebrate the discovery of this magical moon lobster, recently caught by fisherman off the coast of Maine. The pearlescent lobster, whose enchanting coloring is most likely the result of leucism, was thrown back into the sea after the fisherman discovered she was a lady lobster.
