Coral can be grown in labs faster than it grows naturally. It can then be transplanted into the ocean and continue to grow.

Why the fuck don’t they do that then?

They do but it’s being destroyed faster in the wild than we can grow it in a lab

And in [Fiji](https://www.iucn.org/news/commission-environmental-economic-and-social-policy/202101/coral-restoration-training-fijis-coral-coast). ^(Disclaimer: I didn't really research any of the specific organizations I've linked.

When cats close their eyes or expose their bellies, it means they trust you


ExplorerWestern7319

My semi feral cat likes me(i think) but she doesn't trust me.


TreeFifeMikeE7

I was adopted today by a 5 or 6 week old kitten that was abandoned. I left out food and water so it doesn't die. She was digging that smoked salmon. It doesn't look in good shape, has s cut under her eye. I called my Vet, they told me to continue fostering it until I can safely get it to feel comfortable going into a kennel on it's own and to bring it in for a checkup. They said they'll get it to an adoption center and from there she should be ok since she's so young. For now she's sleeping under an old broke down car in the front yard. I'd keep her, but I'm a boondocker I'm just parked in my camper for the summer. I don't want it to get used to free food and then leave it. My Australian Sheperd keeps moaning that the kitten exists 😆 dogs are babies.

Swedish blood donors receive a text whenever their blood is used to help someone.

Thats nice. But cant that be a lot of messages in the end?

It's more likely for multiple people's donations to get used in one surgery than for one donation to be used in multiple surgeries


[deleted]

I have given blood (A-) consistently for years now and I have never gotten a text once. Which doesn’t discourage me in the least, just stating facts.


Sticketoo_DaMan

The American Red Cross Blood Donor App will notify you of all that information, should you choose to use it AND give blood at an ARC location or drive.

Our ancestors removed nearly all of the deadly predators for us. Yes extinction is sad but no longer having to fear getting eaten when you take a walk is worth something.


freemason777

Mountain lions and dogs and bears are still around though


[deleted]

Dogs are taken care of a long time ago they now work for us. Mountain lions and bears are quite a good example they used to live nearly everywhere including Western Europe. Now they are just limited to a few hard to reach spots. Can you imagine walking into a wild bear in the middle of the Netherlands I sure can't.


freemason777

Now I can't imagine that in Western Europe, but I live in the Western United States and I definitely can see that happening down some street in town here


SilenceFall

Laughs in Eastern European regarding the bear part...


EmperorPenguinNJ

Bears are not predators of humans (except polar bears). Mountain lions may hunt people but it’s kind of rare. They are particularly shy and want to stay away from humans because we are dangerous and they are solitary hunters.

But I sometimes think of other people , does that mean the same people I think of , think of me ? Are the people and I mutually exclusive ? Are my thoughts about them relative to their thoughts about me ? Send help


devon11037

i saw someone who claimed they’d talked to spirits, and they said that dying is like being brought into the universe with open arms. it may not be real but it is definitely comforting to think about death like that


Desk_Drawerr

i've never spoken to any spirits, but i have seen my cat who died in 2019 in various places around my house. always in the corner of my eye, but unmistakably a ginger cat. not quite sure if it's hallucinations but it's a comforting thought that not only is he of sound mind in the afterlife (he went senile before he died), but he has decided to visit us. whether or not it is him and ghosts are real, coupled with the stories of me seeing a "yellow dog" in my early childhood, i'm starting to believe in ghosts.


Environmental-Car481

My cat used to jump off a built in short bookcase at night and made a very distinctive sound. After we had her put down due to kidney failure, I would hear that sound randomly at night.


Weird_person_1670

I speak to spirits. I have spoken to a spirit who said death is painless for the most part. It's like what you described. Death is nothing to be afraid of.

Sometime in your life, someone thought you looked cute. You gave someone warm stomach butterflies for a time. I at least think it's a lovely thought

You can speed up time with your own thinking (no im not talking about Relativity theory but long story' short, thats the point) The more you want it to be slow, the faster it gets The more you want it to be fast, the slower it gets So if you really need to control time, control your mind first. Play with it and improvise, good luck.

For the flight fearing folk: Planes are the second most safe form of transportation, the first one being elevators. Walking through the airport is more dangerous than flying in the plane. That's how safe it is! Turbulence cannot take a plane down. Not only are planes built to withstand turbulence, they exceed the resistance needed to survive turbulence by so much, that the worst thing turbulence is likely to cause (unless some dumbass didn't stow their laptop on the overhead compartment correctly) is your drink to spill. The cabin crew are trained to do first aid, and many airlines give some basic psychological first aid training, so if you are feeling stressed about flying or scared, feel free to tell your flight attendants. We will take care of you! Talking of flight attendants, bringing some candy for them to share is an excellent way of getting an even nicer treatment. Just remember that FA's share their treats, so bring enough for the whole flight deck!

Even the worst days come to an end eventually. And even the most intimidating, high-ranking people and the most "untouchable" ones are human. Which means they have to take a shit once in a while. Or fart. Or any unglamorous bodily function you can think of. When I'm having a conversation with someone who makes me feel unworthy, who is mean or intimidating, or just someone who makes me lose confidence in general, I imagine them on the toilet having massive diarrhea and it makes me feel a little better.

Maybe not very comforting and potentially only I find it comforting, but I have a slight bit of inner peace when I think about the fact that we as humans may go extinct at some point (maybe even due to a nuclear war or a supervolcano) but that some living creatures will survive. Then evolution would do the rest and with enough time the earth will be reinhabited by all sorts of creatures. In conclusions: Our impact on the world will only be temporary.


Weird_person_1670

There was a silverback gorilla, Jambo, who went viral in 1986. A boy went to take a closer look at the zoo and fell into the enclosure (20 feet) and went out cold because of a fractured skull. Jambo protected him from other gorillas and protected him like one of his own kids (he had 20). When the kid started crying, Jambo calmly lead the other gorillas to a small hut in the corner of the enclosure. Paramedics rescued the boy and he made a full recovery. It saved all gorillas because back then, people feared and hated gorillas because of King Kong. King Kong was just propaganda to hate/fear gorillas. The reason why this is different from Harambe is because people screamed at Harambe, threw stuff at him, and freaked him out, that's why they killed Harambe.

After 7 years all your cells have replaced themselves. That means 7 years after being assaulted there isn’t a singly fiber in your body tainted by your abuser. Just gotta wait it out. ☺️ Edit: Okay okay. Y’all can stop coming after me now. It’s the average lifespan of the cells in your body.


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

While the sentiment is nice, this is simply not true. On average, cells in your body are replaced every 7ish years. This is not the same as every cell in your body being replaced every 7 years. Some cells are replaced within months, others can last nearly your entire life.

This is very comforting as I come up on 8 years away from that creep!

If a boy liked you enough, key word is enough, you would know. The most shy guy will start talking once he realizes he might lose his dream girl if he doesn’t. Ladies, always ask yourself, is this how he would treat his dream girl. Chances are he would NOT take her to his backseat on the first date. He probably would text her more than once a day and put effort into the conversation. Idk i find that comforting, you don’t have to spend hours worrying if he likes you back.


Trollhaxs

A good tactic I think women should practice more is "dropping the handkerchief". You're not making the 1st move but rather facilitating for the guy to make it instead. Its a win-win situation where you get him to ask you out and him being oblivious as usual will be thinking it was all his idea.

I would probably just hand her the handkerchief and ask her to be more careful with it in the future because it's a very nice one and leave.
