It's a misinterpretation of tiger's brilliant evolutionary adaptation.
Tigers are apex predators. Adult tigers don’t have natural predators to worry about, so they don't need "anti-predator" defenses.
Instead, those striking white spots on the back of their ears (called ocelli) serve a much deeper biological purpose.
When a tiger lowers its head to drink, its ears naturally rotate and flatten out.
Even an apex predator is vulnerable when its head is down at a waterhole.
Rival tigers, large packs of dholes, or mugger crocodiles can seize the moment.
To a predator stalking from behind, it looks like the tiger is staring straight at them.
But the adaptation goes further.
In dense woods & grass, a tigress uses these high-contrast white spots as silent, visual guideposts for her cubs to follow.
The problem exists because we project our own ideas of defense onto an animal that is actually using a masterpiece of offensive signaling and maternal communication.

@andhehatedus @Averssem I really hope they don't listen to your whining ass in particular.
You should respectfully play something else if you're this upset by a thing that never was a major part of Sub1 either.

@Averssem Right which is why I had to ask if you are actually retarded or just pretending. You still haven’t answered that.

Bit of a hot take:
I actually like Subnautica 2 more than the first.
Being able to kill leviathans with a knife made you feel powerful against an enemy that was horrifying and assumed to be unkillable
And thus, the fear factor could be reduced if you were skilled enough
Now? There is no fighting back.
There is no reduction of fear.
There is just you, the ocean, and it's inhabitants. And you look like a VERY appeasing lunch to them
I think that makes the game more terrifying, and in turn, much better.
Props to the devs, ya did good, me and my gf love your game and can't wait for the full release 💜

Subnautica 2 devs say "go play Sons of the Forest" if you don't like its lack of violence. The game focuses on underwater exploration, and you cannot kill most creatures. On the official Discord, one player asked why killing is impossible in SN2 as it makes no sense. Level designer Artyom O’Rielly replied, “This is not a killing game, so go play Sons of the Forest if you want to kill.” Another developer said, “The team discusses this a lot inside the studio and may let players catch small fish for food, but large creatures will stay safe so the game feels right.” This idea comes from the first Subnautica, as the team wants players to discover things, feel wonder, and live with ocean life instead of fighting it. A fan-made mod already lets players kill creatures, and the studio is reading all feedback. It plans to add better ways to scare off creatures but will not add weapons. Early access is expected to last up to 3 years.

@hasanthehun @ImNotOwned None of these people watch the entire conversations, they react off of a clip and dogpile because they either also support Israel, just hate you, or both

They aren’t 1:1 but how is this really that much different than caring if the New York mayoral candidates go visit Israel

🧵 What a rough night for Nithya Raman. Hasan Piker put the LA mayoral candidate and DSA member through a full-on struggle session over her record, repeatedly pressing her to explain where she had fallen short of the movement line. And honestly, even as a conservative, I felt bad for her. This was brutal. One flashpoint was a DSA criticism over Raman’s role in a city resolution tied to the UTLA BDS fight. But the exchange was bigger than that. This was not a good-faith interview. It was an ideological audit. Raman mostly tried to answer politically. She came to DSA through housing and homelessness, said this was not her area of expertise, said she had learned more, and promised she was “committed to learning more.” Stick around for more, because by the end of this even Hasan’s chat wanted his head.

MTG artist Donato Giancola on The One Ring stolen art scanal:
“Wizards of the Coast just released a very sorry excuse for the most important card in their upcoming Hobbit set. They just digitally sampled the previous One Ring card from the Lord of the Rings set and flipped and deleted the Elvish Runes. I doubt Dan Frasier had any real say in how this came about. So much for the One Ring being unique. Welcome to Wizards of the Coast’s Digital Only Universes Beyond, photocopied art.”
Does Wizards need to do more to assure Magic: The Gathering fans their art isn't traced?

English
@FNuotio @ChaliceCups @BasedotRico @carolinekwan Yes. Many people misunderstand “revenge porn.” It can be portrayed less like sexual abuse, with a variety of motivators, but more like it’s just an interpersonal argument. Sometimes “non-consensual intimate imagery” or “image-based sexual abuse” or similar is used.
English
@ChaliceCups @BasedotRico @carolinekwan Why does the word imply participation? I'm genuinely curious (non native English speaker). Is the phrase "revenge porn" also problematic then?
English
@BasedotRico @carolinekwan No it doesn't. The push to.stop calling CSAM CP isn't sus, it's a step in actually having serious conversations about this where the victims are not seen as "participating" which is what CP would imply

Anya Taylor-Joy, who was teased at the end of 'Dune: Part Two,' will be joining the 'Dune: Part Three' cast in the role of Paul Atreides’ younger sister Alia. She said, "Alia has a very intense blessing/curse situation. She carries the weight and the wisdom of generations and generations in her head. She's never in a singular conversation. It's kind of everything everywhere all at once." She went on, "The one thing that she really feels most strongly about is her love and devotion to her brother, because that is the only person who's ever made her feel like she makes sense. He's understood her from before she was even born, and she will do anything for him to various degrees of insanity." Read more: deadline.com/2026/03/dune-p…

I actually saw Sabrina Carpenter at a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.
She said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but she kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Ma’am, you need to pay for those first." At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I stared at this video for probably 10 minutes before I understood what I was actually looking at.
That's 15,000 miles per hour, frozen in a plume of iridescent ice.
But, my brain kept filing it under "rocket exhaust" because that's the only reference I had.
Then I read the caption and something in my chest did something I still cannot name.
That plume is propellant. Flash frozen the instant it left the engine and met a vacuum so cold that transformation is instantaneous and permanent. Those crystals will never melt. Nothing will ever touch them. They are suspended in a darkness so complete that the word darkness does not really cover it.
I went down a rabbit hole on the trajectory after that and what genuinely floored me was learning the fuel was essentially spent long before Voyager reached interstellar space.
The team calculated gravitational slingshots around Jupiter and Saturn years in advance, using the planets' own momentum to accelerate a spacecraft millions of miles away without burning a single extra drop of propellant. They stole speed from planets. With math. On computers weaker than a 1970s calculator by today's standards.
The part I keep returning to is the iridescence in that plume. The colors appear because ice crystals of slightly different sizes bend light at slightly different angles, each wavelength scattering separately. It's diffraction. The same physical principle behind the double slit experiment, the same reason soap bubbles show color, the same wave behavior that broke quantum physics, is also responsible for the last beautiful thing Voyager left behind before permanent darkness.
One equation dressed in every form the universe could find for it.
We talk about space exploration like it's about what we might discover out there.
I think it's really about what the attempt reveals about us down here.
What do you think?
