    Not only deer, but all antlery animals (moose, reindeer, elk, etc). It’s completely normal and pain free, but it looks like something out of a horror movie.

    For some reason, this does not happen to animals with horns, such as cows.











  • I learned once upon a time that a healthy person needs about three weeks to starve to death if they have water. Not sure how accurate it is as it’s part of the rule of three mnemonic; 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. However, it does at least seem reasonably plausible, so we can use that as a baseline.

    Now, beer does have some nutrients, but far from enough of the ones you need. It has to be balanced with water to be able to burn the alcohol without dehydrating yourself. I would therefore think that the beer in moderate amounts might help some, but not a lot. Four weeks total, maybe?




  • Yes. The word is “Neger”, and up until very recently, that was the common term for people with darker skin tone, as “afro american” doesn’t really make sense outside of america. It was used up until maybe 2000ish in a similar way to how “negro” was used in the US in the 40s and 50s (and probably later), but more broadly.

    It was later replaced by “African”, which doesn’t really work, as the old term could mean more than just people of african heritage.

    I’m not entirely sure what’s the appropriate term is today - it’s not like i need to refer to peoples heritage through their skin tone a whole lot.

    EDIT: I just remembered from when I was a kid my aunt (who married a guy from Ghana) referring to him as “neger” some time in the 90s, so it was at least at that point in time not considered offensive.


  • It should be noted that I’m not 100% sure of the definition of blackface, so I may have used the term incorrectly. In this specific case, it is makeup applied in a manner so the actor appears somewhat realistic as being african american (as opposed to the minstrel-show-makeup). I think theybwere trying to have him look like the actual Miami Vice guy, this being its parody. Please see the first few seconds of the youtube link and help me clarify.
