No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So would you say animal behaviour is indeed changing lately?

I personally had a weird experience when a small school of really small fishes started biting us and pierced the skin in the Mediterranean.

You try spending the first half of 2023 without air conditioning and then try not to be pissed off at everything.

On the whole, as we continue to deplete and destroy their natural environments, we will have more run-ins with animals that DGAF about humanity when they're desperately trying to just survive. Whether that accounts for your personal experience is hard to say, and this isn't necessarily just due to climate change, but other factors as well, like deforestation and urban sprawl, will lead to these potentially hostile encounters.

Large animals generally haven't recognized humans as natural predators, prey or competition. As environmental pressures on habitats grow as habitats undergo variously anthropocentric destruction and reduction, competition will become more fierce to the extent that humans may now be recognized as predators (fight or flight), prey (viable source of food) or competition (territorial disputes).

It's a circle of life kind of thing.

Are we including the coordinated orca yacht attacks in with this? I want to see where all that yacht hate is coming from.

[–] Arxir@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No, Factorio is not based on real events.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Humans are fucking over every aspect of animal habitat. Of course they're gonna go after the motherfuckers responsible.

I can't imagine a world where the Honey-Badger is even more angry.

My dad has reported being attacked by a crow at our condo in Seattle

I live in Vancouver, when it's crow nesting season you have to watch out, they will dive bomb you just for walking down the same street as them.
