The ability to manipulate objects isn't really that useful underwater, I feel, apart from being an unprecedented adaptation on the flipper and almost definitely coming at the cost of efficiency while swimming. Everything you want to mess around with as an orca can be transported with your mouth.

Now, sonar loud enough to shatter human rib cages, that's what's going to be the next big step.

I have absolutely no experience or stakes in this, but from my outside perspective, I doubt a Republican majority would keep the filibuster themselves once it's an advantage to the Democrats. That trust to not abuse it and have it not be abused against you has been completely eroded in the past years.

If you expect a consistent appearance from fairy tale creatures I am sorry to disappoint you. They're just weird, little, solitary creatures.

I'm still fighting the good fight of keeping Kobolds as they originally were in Germanic fairy tales: weird little guys spiritually bound to a house or ship.

Buddy, if they won't talk to you after you mentioned your toxic tulips, fear is not the reason.

I actually got called and Elon Defender for pointing out that this is most likely fake, I'm glad most people here at least came to that same conclusion.

Still,

I couldn't find estimates for snakes and scorpions and completely ignored the invertebrates here, but from those options, Tigers kill the most humans yearly per wild individual.

There are about 5500 Tigers in the wild killing 50 humans yearly, while 115000 Hippos kill 500 humans yearly.

So Tigers kill 9 humans per thousand individuals, Hippos kill 4, next would be Lions with 2.5 .

Maybe they are the more deadly than Tigers on a per species basis since there are only 2 species of Hippo while 6 living species of Tigers exist... but then the other kill statistics would get a lot more precise as well. And I wont even try to analyze how often humans interact with specific animal groups.

Not even close, Scorpions, Dogs and Snakes are deadlier, and I'm relatively sure Mosquito's count as land animals as well.

Super Meat Boy's OST slaps. I decided to check it out after realizing it was from the same guy that made Crypt of the Necrodancers OST.

I then spent hours trying to figure out where I've heard "Hot Damned" before. It was Siivagunner.

Are we talking about the cat or the bike?

Even if you added "for it's meat" at the end there, I have killed and eaten fish.

But the way you said it, who hasn't swatted a fly or mosquito? Not to mention the skin mites and fruit flies you consume daily.
