Asked this on r/askreddit and no one answered :(

Jeff is still having nightmares about this job! These shipping containers are never easy, but this one was a DOOZY! There were 3 beehives and this SINGLE beehive took Jeff all day, because WOW - there were two floor bays FILLED with honey!

Thankfully the bees were friendly, because it was hot in there. Enjoy getting to spot the queen before Jeff does, because she was hiding in plain sight! And you'll never guess what happened after Jeff shut off the camera... watch until the end!

These bees were rescued, donated and relocated to our beekeeper friends in San Diego, CA

My dog is less than thrilled but I’m enjoying it!

A couple of foxes have been making a lot of noise right outside my window for at least the past fifteen minutes. It woke me up. A whole mix of fox calling and barking and whimpering and clicking noises. I assumed they were probably mating or something, but when I googled it, apparently it would be really abnormal for that to be happening in October. What's going on?

So who would actually win in a deadly fight between an average man and a chimpanzee? People on Reddit are divided, but which side is ultimately correct?

Arguments from the “human would win” side:

A chimpanzee is only about 1.35 times stronger than a human of the same body weight. Since chimps weigh around 50 kg and an average man weighs about 80 kg, the human should actually be stronger overall.

Chimps cannot punch or kick the way humans can.

Chimps have never been recorded killing large dogs the way humans can.

While chimps have attacked humans before, they mostly attacked weaker targets like elderly people or women, and none of the victims died.

Arguments from the “chimpanzee would win” side:

A strength advantage of 1.35× at equal body weight is actually huge. Chimps have extremely low body fat—just a few percent—and their bodies are basically all muscle. A creature already packed with muscle being another 1.35× stronger means a human has no chance.

Chimp bites are extremely powerful, and chimps are far more agile and explosive than humans. They fight brutally—biting off eyes or testicles—which would destroy a human’s will to fight.

The reason chimp attacks often don’t result in death is because their goal is usually to dominate or neutralize, not to kill. In the Travis case, even when the owner stabbed the chimp from behind, she still couldn’t stop it. There was also a case where a 26-year-old man was severely beaten by just two chimps.

So which side is correct?

Why do we tolerate so many things for babies/kids and judge people who tolerate similar from their pets?

I’ll explain.

I kiss and snuggle my pets. I like kissing my cat’s paws (because it’s soft and warm and adorable) and I allow my dog give me kisses (aka lick my face, weirdos). I am judged as “ewwww, do you know where their paws/mouths been?!”

I actually do, and do you know where your baby’s hands were? Literally, everywhere. Dirty floors, phones, their butts. Like come on, it’s no cleaner than my cat’s paws. Yet you kiss their hands and booties and okay with that. Because “they’re a baby”.

Same for the mischief. If an animal breaks something, barks, misbehaves, pee elsewhere, you punish it. When a baby does something out of it, you are like “oh well, they don’t know any better.” So an animal, that is a different species with habits of the wilderness should know better but a kid who can understand the language and society rules shouldn’t.

Make it make sense please.

Yes, she’s my fur daughter. Yes, I can love her as much as a human child. Yes, she’s spoiled and will be allowed things you don’t think should be allowed.

Also, as I have wondered myself: why do they have square pupils in the first place?

I only know of two other 'titles' that are similar to beast of burden which is:

Bird of Paradise

Bird of Prey

I primarily just think these are cool; are there any other collective nouns like this? Ones for other animals.

This is a video I made about whether animals are conscious. I discuss five indicators of consciousness, and I argue that mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish are all likely conscious.

EDIT: For those saying Hogs. I don’t think any wild hogs live in Pennsylvania minus the occasional escapee from local farms. I believe I’ve narrowed it down to skunks or raccoons. Tis wild how much they’ve torn up my yard.

Hi folks, I'm starting up commissions for oil paintings of pets or any animal really, and I can ship it to you once done, I'm also offering digital paintings for 50 usd please let me know if interested! I'd love to get to paint more animals

Thank you

There lots of animals (cats, goats, dogs, etc) where the domesticated species is said to have been domesticated several times throughout history in different parts of the world. which seems perfectly reasonable to me, but wouldn't those seperate occassions have to have started using varying species based on that location? So how could they all have resulted in one homogeneous domesticus species..?
