Round 2 - Arthropoda - Collembola

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

Collembola is a group of Hexapod crustaceans once thought to be part of Insecta but now seperated into its own class. They are commonly known as “Springtails” and are seperated into 4 orders: Entomobryomorpha (“Slim Springtails”), Poduromorpha (“Oval Springtails”), Symphypleona (“Spherical Springtails”), and Neelipleona (controversial; may not be a distinct order.)

Collembolans can be herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, or detritivores, living worldwide in moist soils, and are generally 8-10 millimeters in length. They follow the hexapod body plan of 3 main body segments: a head, a consolidated thorax with 6 legs, and an abdomen. Their head consists of a pair of antennae, chewing mouthparts, and simple eyes (ocelli). Collembolans are divided further by having up to 6 abdominal segments with a tubular appendage, called a collophore, projecting from beneath the 1st abdominal segment. The collophore aids in osmoregulation, water intake, and excretion. Projecting from beneath the 4th abdominal segment, most species also have a furcula. The furcula is a tail-like appendage that gives springtails their name. It is usually held under tension against their body by a small hook called a retinaculum. When released, the furcula snaps against the ground, flinging the springtail into the air. This allows for the animal to rapidly spring from predators in as little as 18 milliseconds (see gif below).

Most collembolans reproduce similarly to centipedes, in that males will leave spermatophores on the ground for females to find, though species in the order Symphypleona have been observed mating, using a clasping organ on their antennae. Collembolans can also he parthenogenetic, but only with help from symbiotic Wolbachia bacteria.

The Early Devonian springtail, Rhyniella praecursor, is the oldest known terrestrial arthropod.

On the topic of Leftist Andrew Tate and other mythical creatures of the liberal mind

ID: Two screenshots of a Twitter thread by Joth @ jothwip with text reading:

"The reason men are turning fascist is because the feminist and workers movements of the past decades have made it harder for them to own women as property, with current movements threatening to rid them of power they still have. Not because lesbians are mean to them

"When you talk of "The left alienating men" you are either buying the fascists at their word, or suggesting feminists compromise by not abolishing the power men have over women. Either option puts you on the same side as them"

End ID.

I just don't think it's true that "men" as a whole are turning fascist

I don't think that's really the argument here. It's specifically Western cishet white men, particularly men of the middle and upper classes, who are acting on this sense of aggrieved entitlement that the world that was "supposed" to be theirs is now telling them they must share it with others, and that women are not their reward for good behavior but in fact their equals. and so many of these guys believe themselves to be feminists, but can't wrap their head around the idea that their hurt feelings and bruised egos are irrelevant in a conversation about women, particularly marginalized women, losing their political rights. scratch a male ally and an MRA bleeds🤷‍♂️

You really just can't handle the idea that you lost because your candidate wasn't good enough, can you? No, there's just an epidemic of fascism going on among all those evil men, who we're just going to pretend are all white because all those millions of ethnic and religious minorities who voted for Trump don't exist and are also brainwashed tokens who don't count and are also fascists.

I hated Kamala Harris since 2019 and your projecting-ass opinion is worthless

this is definitely NOT the moon girl episode with a trans character that disney shelved and has no plans on airing and i am definitely NOT advising you to spread it around like wildfire in retaliation to this stupid-ass chickenshit coward decision. i repeat, i am DEFINITELY not encouraging you to spread this episode around like crazy to show disney that trans people will not bow down to the whims of the people that want them dead. definitely DON'T do that. definitely

don't reblog THIS version of the post, since it definitely does not have a link to the archive upload of the episode that got shelved :)

My kind of comedy

Hey so fun new scam just dropped! I got a call earlier today from someone spoofing the local police department's desk number, asking me if there was a reason I'd missed my jury summons this morning.

Friends, I had not received a jury summons for this month. Which I told him, at which point his previously clear diction suddenly turned into a rapid mumble, only becoming clear for scary words like 'federal' and then asking to confirm my address, at which point I hung up and decided to call the police department later.

When I called the police department the desk officer sounded so tired y'all. All I had to say was "Hey I got a call earlier saying I missed jury duty this morning?" and she immediately sighed and told me that yes it was a scam that was going around and thanked me for calling to confirm.

So this is your periodic reminder that law enforcement agencies will not call you to tell you that you're in trouble. If you need to pay a fine of some sort they will mail you a physical invoice. Anyone calling you saying they're from the police or any other law enforcement organization (up to the CIA and yes I have heard of scammers attempting to impersonate CIA agents over the phone) who then tries to get financial information from you over the phone is a scammer.

I know I actually bang on about this a weird amount, but it is my fervent hope that the information will stick in peoples' brains if they get randomly selected for the adrenaline spike lottery. Scammers use scary words to get you to panic in order to shut down your critical thinking, and if even one person's brain spits out "Tumblr user waterhobbit said the cops/CIA/federal marshalls don't call about this shit" before their bank account routing number is in the hands of assholes I will consider it a job well done.

The person in this post follows my rule of thumb that protects me from 99.9% of all phone scams, and i'd like to highlight it here

For ANY "important" call you actually think might be real, get the name of the agency or institution involved, (and here is the important part:) look up the phone number to that agency or institution on your own, and call back about it.

If you never use a phone number they give you and always look up the number on your own, they can never scam you. Here's how it looks.

"hi, i'm from your bank and your account has just been charged, just, so much money, we're worried it might be fraud."

"Thank you for letting me know, I'll call back later, goodbye"

Then i look up my bank's phone number, and call that number, and tell them i received a call about suspicious activity on my account.

If it's real, they'll help me with it, and if it's not they'll confirm it's not true. Either way, i know i'm talking to the actual bank and not a scammer.

This works for ALL phone scammers, no matter how scary or time sensitive they try to tell you it is. If it's real, something like "i'm driving right now but i'll call back in a few minutes, no thank you i already have the contact information for your agency/business" is ALWAYS an acceptable answer, at most they will want to give you some kind of a case number before you hang up. The more they resist you calling them back from a number you look up, the more likely they are to be a scam.

It's important that YOU call the number of the agency/business. Don't let them "call you back from the main number", it's possible to spoof caller IDs including government numbers.

and don't use google search results, go to the actual agency website

Also, like, do they think the rest of the world will respect the felon-elect, just because he was born with a dick between his legs?

Our allies are horrified, and our enemies are happy because they know he'll be easy to use.
