Comment preview: Whoever wrote this is not a professional cook. Given that pretty much all vertebrate mammals share the same structure (at different propotions) the human body contains a hell of a lot of ideal cuts for modern-day preparations. By comparison to farm animals ....

Comment preview: **A lot of ignorants posting housewife expectations of animal behavior to this thread.** Number one- **surprise assholes- Komodo Dragons eat meat**, *and that's how it's done.* Don't give me bullshit that mammals don't do that. Humans are mammals and have ....

Comment preview: What /u/CommissarAJ doesn't really take into account is that even before the last 10k years our diets have been changing very rapidly by evolutionary standards. 1mya-2mya we had an ancestor who has been nicknamed the ["nutcracker"](http://www.ox.ac.uk/news ....

Comment preview: I'm speaking here as a palaeontologist who has written several papers on the subject. Not that I'm sure all my colleagues would agree with everything here (indeed I suspect not all of them would agree with anything!) but here goes. First off, it's complica ....

Comment preview: Mark Rippetoe is possibly the most quotable man in the fitness community. >"Yes, if you squat wrong it fucks things up. If you squat correctly, those same fucked-up things will unfuck themselves." . >There is simply no other exercise, and certainly n ....

Comment preview: Monogamy arises whenever biparental care increases offspring survival and reproduction. In mammals, females are adapted to raise offspring in the form of gestation and lactation with little male contribution. The amount of parental care provided by males w ....

Comment preview: Motherfucking koalas are the most fucking insufferably stupid, useless, and simple shit-stains to have ever had the displeasure of walking upon the Earth. First, they fucking eat *shit*. Yeah, that's right. They eat *shit* as babies because their food can' ....

Comment preview: Well, to be completely honest, any scientific analysis of behavior is pretty...rough. I wouldn't call it speculation, per se, but we can never really "know" the reason WHY animals have much of their behaviors. It's kind of the same with people, too, if you ....

Comment preview: Essentially, if there's a niche to be filled, it will be filled, regardless of the possible future consequences of intense specialization, since evolution has no foresight. Polar bears are essentially Grizzly Bears that have adapted to hunt in the artic, a ....

Comment preview: Field biologist here, spent years studying behavior. Ive heard all sorts of bullshit about peppermint oil, baked beans, bags of water, vinegar blah blah blah. Old wives tales the lot of them. Classic misunderstanding of correlation vs causation. Poison... ....

Comment preview: > I really hope he decides to try to make the jump to coaching when the time comes. Maybe that's all part of Harbaugh's secret evil master plan... 1. Get into the NFL in the late 1980s. 1. Nearly make it to the big game. 1. Become a "journeyman" Quarter ....

Comment preview: I honestly believe she [loved](http://imgur.com/yXq0dL9) Coraline. And every child she murdered and ate. Yes, it's horrible but she is what she is. Lions eat deer. Cats eat rats. Spiders eat flies. Ladybugs eat Aphids. Which are the "villains"? Where is ....

Comment preview: National Geographic has a video of Thomas Scott cornering this snake and then chopping off its head. But it's what happens afterward that's strange. The snake's head, zombie-like, keeps on moving and keeps baring its deadly fangs. According to the segment, ....

Comment preview: Thanks to all who've responded -- some interesting comments. Rather than post a bunch of small follow-ups, thought it would be more useful to put everything in one place for those who are interested. weesilmania wrote "I've wanted to ask someone this ques ....

Comment preview: Had a real nice villa in Dubai, a triple (3 interconnected 5 bedroom villas, central pool out back) and no neighbors for the first 3 months. Locals moved in next door (swarmed in was more apt), never paid rent and generally made life hell with their feral, ....

Comment preview: **This got popular, so I want to make a couple edits so as not to misinform anyone.** Hang on asshole researchers, this guy on reddit who has no idea how to do his own web searches wants progress. Can you hook him up? Comments like yours lead me to believ ....

Comment preview: I *have* to comment here. thatwasthere, I truly hope you come across this post. Your son and I are alike. I want to share my story and some thoughts. I am gay, starting my Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, and I am crazy about high-speed rail systems (I ....

Comment preview: From the source material: > While most humans are clearly behavioral omnivores, the question still remains as to whether humans are anatomically suited for a diet that includes animal as well as plant foods. No, this is not in question. We are suited ....

Comment preview: I've seen a few posts lately confusing deer and antelopey sort of things, the comments always full of 'that's a gemsbok, why would you think that's a deer?' sort of stuff. But some people just aren't as exposed to animals, and no one ever explains, so for ....

Comment preview: She is pretty, for a dog. Her fur had been dyed to look like a golden retriever but I could smell the collie in her. She'd been spayed, then. Only spayed bitches go to the trouble of keeping up appearances. The intact ones just rely on their estrous cy ....

Comment preview: Ornithologist/herpetologist here, typing over breakfast, so please forgive typos etc. Dinosaur scales, just like modern-day reptile scales, bird feathers, and bird and crocodile scutes (those tough scaley bits on bird legs, those big smooth bits on crocodi ....

Comment preview: I've read a lot and have some experience with aggressive canines. Shoving your arm/hand down it's throat can work, but it IS NOT recommended. This can work, but the dog is very likely to figure out what is going and it could easily sever a major artery as ....

Comment preview: A cute thesis, but several things wrong with it. Let me first preface by saying I thought Mordin was the most well-written character in ME2, a tough thing to claim given the incredible amount of work they put in to make such an obviously diverse and intere ....
