Oh this is how we all turn into cat girls

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

All the people who let their cats roam, run the risk of this and other horrible things. If cat owners are too selfish to care about the local ecosystem and their neighbors, maybe their and their Kitty's safety will get them to listen.

Found a half a cat in my yard a few weeks back, cause the neighbors wouldn't fucking listen when I kept telling them that there are coyotes in our area

I call the big one bitey!

I foster extra spicy kittens and tame them so they can be adopted. Each time one bites me I think about how I have almost no insurance and this could be the one that unalives me. Those puncture bites are amazing. This little predator weighing less than 1% what I do can do me in with just their teeth.

My pet geese are so much safer.

spicy kitten

If it looks like this, it's a lynx.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This spicy puppy was recued from a frozen lake and driven to the vet.

"I am too cold to do anything other than lay here, otherwise you'd get a bite."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

No lynx native to my area. But a bobcat is always an option. Some legends tell of cougars. I can always hope.

That's a werewolf kitten, you can't fool me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

No, these are werewolf cats

Cat haters violently rubbing their hands...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

How do you violently rub your hands? Do you mean excitedly?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Did you ever play Mario Party and try to win the raft game?

Like that but with both hands, the skin just rubs off

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

You rub them so hard it starts producing smoke!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You imagine that you're grinding up little tiny people between your hands while giving an over-the-top maniacal laugh.

Correct me if I’m wrong…. But isn’t finding a new bacteria rather common for people who look at bacteria?

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 days ago

Yes.

For a long time identifying bacteria required growing them on different media. If then bacteria didn't grow on the media,, we didn't know what it was. However for most pathogenic bacterium we did figure out how to culture them.

Then molecular biology advanced to a level where we can amplify and sequence a single bacterium's DNA. This has led to a continuous stream of new species discoveries from different environments.

Finding a new pathogenic bacteria for humans is still a rare discovery.

20 years later...

Kid: Dad, why did everybody turn into cat-zombies?

Dad: They caught Dipshit Nigel Disease, son.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

If that happened to me, and I got rid of it, I'd ask if the infection could be named after me.

I want it to be remembered that I won.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Nah. They would name it Spspspspspiosis.

Really? You want an annoying disease to be named after you? Like "fuck me i got the stoy today"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'd want to have them to name it after me. "Dave Fever" has a ring to it.

I would want them to let me choose the name.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago

Way to ruin that guy's Plague Inc run, man.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

That's a great picture

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

this isn't a meme, this is a cocktease headline at an interesting story.

you have delivered neither funni nor wow.

shame.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thanks for the screenshot but where is the link?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what the rest think, but if you can't find an article when you know the name of the site, the name of the author, the date and the title I think it's more appropriate if you don't get a link.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Link for convenience. This could be AI generated garbage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

We are going to be fucked when ai learns to write articles and attach them to links

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago

For science!

Sure, he gave permission for them to publish the paper about him. But, did he give them permission to address him solely as "48 year old obese man?"

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago

That is literally adding insult to injury.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

The most important part is missing: Did he got to name the bacteria?
