>>4783612You are correct but holy shit what a horrible, confusing graphic.>>4783757>What about broken terra cotta pots?If the pot is broken the water will just run/seep out through the cracks so even if gravel did provide extra drainage (it doesn't) you wouldn't need it anyway. Right?>>4783939>Should I add worms to my balcony flower pots?No.Worms are great in garden beds but they're the very worst thing in pots (apart from a lack of drainage holes).Your pot plants should be in a nice, fresh, free-draining potting mix that allows water to drain and air to enter.The roots of your plants need air to survive. If they are stuck in water they drown and rot. If they are stuck in compacted soil that air can't get into they suffocate and rot.Plants don't have lungs and blood to distribute atmospheric oxygen from the above-ground part of the plant to every single cell in the roots. Roots (in most cases) need some access to atmospheric oxygen from air that penetrates the soil.What worms do is eat and decompose all the organic matter in the pot so that the structure of the potting mix collapses and turns to anaerobic mud. The mud doesn't let air in or water out. It blocks the drainage holes in the pot and the pot begins to fill up like a fishtank. Bit by bit the roots drown/suffocate and die back and the plant becomes visibly weaker. When you try to compensate by watering more you only make things worse.Comment too long.

>>4784050your picture is likely incorrect and would fail experimental validation. t. hydrologist
what's the best ornamental conifer?
>>4784099OK. Please explain why.I'm also interested to know why you said "likely incorrect" when you otherwise seem so sure of yourself.But I'm most interested to know how you think that gravel magically reverses the effect of capillary action.I use the term "magically" advisedly because any action that defies the laws of physics is by definition supernatural. Spooky, even...
>>4784105It would more like this. Note that the water concentration for the right pot is slightly higher for a given depth, due to the extra drainage the gravel provides. When you have a single hole at the bottom of the pot and it's all dirt all the water has to make it's way through the dirt to that single spot to drain out. On the other hand if there's is gravel at the bottom it's as if the whole bottom of the pot was one big hole and the water can drain down from any point in the dirt. After the water is in the gravel the gravel provides little resistance to the water and it can easily drain out through the single hole.

>>4784005So SMASH and SLAMN them enough and you get low IQ dachshunds. Makes me wonder what happens if you mix one of these toads with a dachshund.
>>4783629>These people literally masturbate their dogs for a life of luxuryI mean, that's just animal husbandry. It's normal for a whole bunch of industries involving animals that we breed for our use. Look at race horse. A prized stud is in a similar situation.
>>4784121The difference is that most places use some kind of apparatus to do the job, not their own fucking hands. It's a rather clinical medical process usually done in a fertility clinic, or at least with someone knowledgeable on-hand just in case. Not toadline breeders. They literally, without exaggeration, masturbate their dogs just out in the open.

What was the Silurian landscape like?In the past, it was assumed that it was basically dry and "dead". without a significant number of living organisms that stand out for being multicellular, eukaryotic, and that carry out photosynthesis and bla bla.Well, today it is said that the environment was more perished with a "proto-forest" (or lawn) with high quantities of plants and even small worms living in the groundwell paleoanons, can you give me some light???
>>4783073>>4783085>>4783096>>4783300Thank you guys!
>>4783085And about the land? Just a ugly desert?>>4783096In your logic, there was not earthworms
>>4783325There were majestic mountain ranges, highly-eroded smooth rock pillars and boulders, deep canyons and gorges. There were lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and everything in between.The terrain would be in different places and heights and depths than modern day but the same ingredients would be there.One thing you would notice is that the soil would be far more sterile, muddy, and grey until things developed further. Early plants and fungi would not be nearly as capable of supporting soil on slopes like they do today, so mudslides and slumps would be drastically more common in the landscape. You would see more deserts, probably anywhere in the shadow of a mountain range that would divert rainclouds.Heavy rain areas and coastal areas would have moderate plant coverage and these would probably overlook shallow bays with raft-like bacterial mats in peaceful areas, or rocky areas that produce lots of spray and help keep the plants wet. These plants would follow rivers and streams upstream over time and gradually bring life inland, but it wouldnt be able to protect itself from drying out very effectively for the time being.
>>4783356>There were majestic mountain rangesbigger or smaller than today's mountain ranges?
>>4783356So everywhere kind of looked like a mix between Mongolian steppes, Kazakhstan mountains and the Atacama desert?
I would give another chance to the classic non-avian theropods. So, my choice includes two big guys:>Utahraptor>Imperobatortwo medium-sized predators:>Deinonychus>Dromaeosaurand a small, clever rascal:>TroodonYes, they are a few tens of millions of years too late and are unlikely to catch up with mammals in intelligence. But do they really need to?*Yes, I learned about Imperobator from that really questionably-scientific show made by a slopmaker from Disney. Don’t judge me, I'm not a professional paleontologist.
>>4782520All dolphins deserve extinction, I would trade in all 5 picks to eliminate all dolphins from evolutionary or current existence. Whales I can tolerate. But I have a feeling they would eventually become dolphins so they have to go too. Basically just undo this whole thing

how different would life be if we were on a tidally locked planet? would we develop sleep? would life even develop on the other side of the planet where it's always dark?

>>4777443If geofag is still in this thread, what would the minimum requirements for a planet to harbor life? And then what would be the requirements for microscopic-only life vs macroscopic organisms, say up to the volume of a human?
>>4774964There is also the fact that Venus has active volcanism which makes up for the gases that manage to escape
>>4774964Venus is also virtually tidal locked. Its day is longer than its year. But the temperature is pretty much the same everywhere, poles, equator, night or day, all the same.
>>4782279im pretty sure its just liquid water, large cellular life is kinda impossible without exposure to a star because just like deep sea life, their lifestyle is reliant on bacteria doing whatever it is they do at underwater volcanoes to inject energy into the system,

A plant that produces very tasty shoots that attract herbivorous This same plant also produces a very strong and pleasant smell capable of mask the scent of predators, making easier for them hunt in groves dominated by that plantAs a result, those groves are frequently fertilized by the remains of the animals killed there and the excrement of the predators that hang around there more
>>4783023fruit would be far superior to shoots for this
>>4783023I wonder if herbivorous would prefer safe food over tasty.>>4783052Does it matter? Something gets eaten anyways. Fruits leaves the body of the plant safer but takes extra effort to grow and can't feed the plant itself like shoots do.

how bad is it that i love picking dandruff off my cat's back?i'm obssessed with picking dead skin, i do it to myself but i have very little dead skin to pick, and then i noticed my cat's skin is a bit flakey, and upon scratching it discovered it's dandruffso now whenever i pet my kot i always end up grabbing something like a toothpick and scratching off all the dandruff off it's back....is it harming my cat? is there a way of doing without harming it?sorry for being an autstic wierdo

>>4783826I didn’t even know cats could have dandruff Mine definitely don’t

You need to wash your cat with anti dandruff shampoo now
Is your cat not cleaning himself? He might be sick.
I see these fuckers all the time and I asked around in 5 discords wtf it is and nobody could tell me. It makes this odor when it dies but it's not the normal stinkbug (though I do see those on occasion as well). Anyone have an idea?
