Reply to A dying baby turtle survived after drifting 4,000 miles to Ireland by KatzMwwow

This article reminded me why I dislike birds. On the positive note that really makes this cute: “to have the Irish Naval Service take her to the warmer waters of the Canary Islands”…☺️

Reply to ELI5 What is cognitive dissonance? by dreamingonastar1

State of stress due to holding conflicting views/attitudes/behaviour at the same time. A textbook example of cognitive dissonance is the fable of the fox and the grapes. Fox desires grapes hanging high from a tree. After attempts to get the grapes and failing , he says that they are sour rather than admitting he has failed. In doing so he reduces his cognitive dissonance (his stress for a) desiring grapes and b) frustration at not getting them). he has reduced cognitive dissonance by trying to give rationale for his failure.

Not sure how my brain recognised the pic as Australian lace-lid…not so clued up on frogs in general. Regardless, one of the best items I’ve read today
