You're currently under private surveillance (because it doesn't need a warrant) and that information is then sold to the state.

/jef/- Jefrey General #12 - 1-Year Retrospective Edition
Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>4995820

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

In OP’s video, there’s pearling underneath the leaves but the stream of bubbles we see coming out is due to tissue damage. Plants keep oxygen in their stem to keep themselves upright and this happens when you cut them.

This thread is dedicated to all animals of the Reptilia and Amphibia classes. Topics include, but are not limited to: geckos, snakes of all kinds, frogs, salamanders, newts, turtles, tortoises, and much more. Before asking a question, do a search on the internet to see if it has been answered
Classifieds for finding breeders and products:
>morphmarket.com
>kingsnake.com

When asking a question, make sure to include these details:
>Type and size of animal
>Enclosure dimensions
>Humidity and temperature
>Type of substrate
>The decor you use

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

New Animal Guessing Game
A friend of mine made a geoguessr-inspired game that tests your knowledge of animal habitats. He aims to keep adding more species eventually clearing the entire phylogenetic tree, starting with mammals

Do female birds actually give a shit about these things? What even is the point of wanting to produce with other members of your species for these weird specific features that don't benefit to anything in terms of survival?

I am dead scared of diving with sperm whales because they can do to you what a submarine does when it launches a ping (aka vibrate your body with 265 dB clicks till you turn into mush). They could kill an entire diving party before it could even see them. The line between a wondrous experience and an atrocious death is drawn by the whim of an animal no smarter than a dog, and this frightens me immensely.

All these misquotes come from William Wells Brown in his book "The Black Man: His Antecedents, His Genius, and His Achievements", 1863. William was an irate black man who hated white people and loved making up quotes. One of the earliest examples of "we waz kangz" and "We waz astronauts"....

The sinking of the American whaling ship Essex in 1820 by a sperm whale served as the primary real-life inspiration for Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick.
The event, which occurred on November 20, 1820, involved the ship being rammed and sunk 2,000 nautical miles west of South Ameri...

Hi 4chan! I don't know if it's possible to post this here....I just want to help the poor dog. The text below and the attached photos will explain everything in more detail, but in short -> the actions take place in Russia, from a person (who broadcasts the case on the Internet, I'll sign the accounts from below) the dog was seized, illegally, introducing himself as another person (Pavel Korotkov) and gave it to the hands of phila (Ilya Kovalenko) all the details in the photos. The court was lost the blogger, lawyers and lawyers can't help for 11 months. I translated his ads into English, if you want to find out more, everything is in his social networks. Forchan, please...

UPDATE
Oh, you can attach only one photo... then I'll leave a photo of Kovalenko with a seized dog, if you have any questions, write

Nta, but there is no way that a breed won't deviate over the course of 1000s of years. Even the Saluki as well as Afghan are glorified standardised lurchers and sighthounds and those dog groups deviate all the time despite the body plan remaining mostly consistent to a slender build.

What are some changes you guys made for a more eco-friendly life?
Here's the changes I've made to help the environment:
>stopped buying new clothes (and pretty much new anything except food and meds)
>cut back on plastic waste
>recycle the little plastic I do use
>pick up trash at parks
>reuse ziplock bags and packing materials
>basic stuff like preserving electricity and water
>take broken electronics to a special recycling center


My main problem is trying to cut back on plastic bottles but I consume a lot of soft drinks so it's kinda hard

What changes have you guys made to help our environment?
I'd love to hear if you guys have any recommendations if there's anything else I should add
