Reply to TIL that ligers (the offspring of a male lion and female tiger) are the largest big cat because, unlike lionesses, female tigers do not possess growth-limiting genes to counter the growth-maximising genes of male lions. by argh-ok

Ligers make me sad. They can't move around much because of their size.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: protesting doesn’t bring change anymore, but strikes and boycotts do. by AnalBaggins

Demonstrating has long been unpopular but that doesn't make it ineffective. You definitely need a goal, it can't be aimless (like the Occupy movement). Either way, protest has historically been portrayed in a negative light (for obvious reasons) so if it makes people upset that's par for the course.

This is why I'm glad I have an electric stove. Gas stoves freak me out
