Game of Thrones Hotline for Confused Fans [x]
somemushroomguy asked:
I know there's a niche in ecology for organisms that climb on other organisms and eat their parasites. Are there any examples in nature of creatures mimicking other more beneficial organisms?

There’s probably more examples than we know of but oddly the only one I’ve ever heard of are the false cleaner wrasses! Real cleaner wrasses perform a “dance” that “advertises” to fish of countless other species that they’ll eat their parasites, so other fish will respond to the dance by hovering in place and spreading their fins to be cleaned up.
The false cleaner wrasse mimics the coloration, shape, and dance of the real thing but then eats chunks of actual fin. It also has a silly face that opens up into demon fangs:
smilin about it!! thinks its funny!!!!
O haaaiiiii come closer not gonna take a bite out of you or anything hehe :3

4-6 years
1-3 years
less than a year
less than a month
So this is a visual representation of “are the new users you’re changing the entire app and website layout/features for in the room with us right now”.
it's still so insane that we literally figured out a way to pop the hood on a crop's genetic makeup and swap in parts to make it more resilient, nutritious, and abundant, and the consumer market responded with a need for stickers on all of their foodstuffs to guarantee they contain none of those nasty scientist plants. not for sensible reasons, like giving agriculture companies the ability to sell single-use seeds or possible disruptions to local ecosystems, but because they made it in a lab so it must be bad for you somehow. go back to eating shitty, 5 kernel corn cobs and melons with a 60/40 seed to flesh ratio, then.
cancel your plans we’re thinking about the pale blue dot voyager pic tonight

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

WHAT?!
I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3
I do believe in the power of sitting in your car just a little longer before heading inside, lying upside down on the couch, cloud gazing well into adulthood, taking the time to learn something new, humility, recollecting your dreams, pressing something warm against your belly, small talk w strangers, odes to romance, a lit candle on your countertop while you cook, having a sense of humor about life
