I think I read something about this in a book once

Outta pocket lol

LeBron just scored on 2 guys and pointed at them after the bucket. No way 💀

Went down the rabbit hole on this. The dancing is the tamest part of the story. Marine biologist Amanda Vincent has spent decades studying seahorses, and what’s underneath that morning ritual goes way deeper than a cute video. The morning ritual lasts about 6 minutes. Both seahorses brighten their skin, link tails, and pirouette around a shared piece of coral or seagrass. Researchers call it “the carousel dance.” But it has a specific biological function: it synchronizes their reproductive cycles so the female’s eggs are ready the exact moment the male’s brood pouch is empty. That timing matters because the male can’t accept new eggs while he’s already pregnant. The male gets pregnant. The female transfers her eggs into his pouch through an organ called an ovipositor (a tube for depositing eggs). The whole transfer takes about 6 seconds. His pouch seals shut immediately. Inside, he grows a network of blood vessels that works almost exactly like a human placenta, delivering oxygen and nutrients to up to 1,000 developing embryos. Research from the University of Sydney, published in the journal Placenta, found the pouch wall thins and builds new blood vessels during pregnancy in ways that closely mirror what happens in a mammalian uterus. He gives birth using skeletal muscles, not smooth muscles like in mammalian labor. That means he has conscious control over the process. Labor can take hours. And within hours of delivering up to 1,000 fully formed babies, he’s ready to mate again. The female already has her next batch of eggs prepared, sometimes the same day. Less than 0.5% of those babies survive to adulthood. Fewer than 5 out of every 1,000. No parental care after birth. They get swept into ocean currents, eaten by crabs, or starve before they find food. That survival rate is why the morning dance matters so much. Every lost mating cycle is hundreds of offspring that never existed. The monogamy is extraordinary for a fish. Only about 3% of mammals form lasting partnerships. For fish, it’s rarer still. But in species like the Australian H. whitei, pairs are genetically monogamous across multiple breeding seasons. They greet each other every morning and ignore other seahorses entirely. The bond only breaks when one partner disappears. Amanda Vincent once watched a female keep visiting a male whose brood pouch had been punctured by a predator, making pregnancy impossible. She showed up every morning for weeks until his pouch healed. Then they remated. About 150 million seahorses are pulled from the ocean every year for traditional medicine and the pet trade. Most pet seahorses don’t last six weeks. 14 of the 47 known species were only identified in this century, meaning we’re losing populations of animals we barely knew existed.

🚨PAY ATTENTION! Man who read every major religious book said this about all of them!🤯

🚨: Scientists propose consciousness isn't strictly linear ─ it can jump through time, suggesting 'gut feelings' are information from the future.

😭😭😭😭

I genuinely believe that we shifted into an alternate reality after 2019. Time is different, people have changed, and things don’t feel the same. We now live in an eerie post-apocalyptic emotionless society reminiscent of black mirror. Call me crazy but I believe this.

The right tribe is not the loudest, but the one whose presence brings peace to your mission.

All Glory to Christ, Greece let’s do it!!💙🤍🙏🏽

Takeoff speaking in adlibs through out the whole interview 😭

“Graduation” will end the year 2025 as the most streamed hip-hop album.

A photographer in southern Spain captured what is believed to be the first-ever white Iberian lynx, a leucistic big cat so rare it seems almost mythical. Already one of the world’s rarest cats, the Iberian lynx was pulled back from the brink of extinction after its population fell below 100 two decades ago.

New Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook on rookie teammate Nique Clifford: "The uniqueness about him and his journey. I think he's a really good player. He's going to surprise a lot of people if he hasn't already."

DeMar DeRozan said he “really believes [Nique Clifford] is gonna be a star in this league.” “He’s very mature and smooth with his skillset.”

You stop taking things personally when you realize most people are just unhealed children in adult bodies
