Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it's technically menstration but different from "overt menstration" found in humans and primates.
Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn't occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here's a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.
Nah, at least one of the Ks has to have something to do with kitchens, Kevins or kneeling. Those are the rules that I just made up for no apparent reason.
I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying "WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN'T LEARNING SHIT TODAY."
Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don't know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.
TL:DR : flying foxes' (those really large bats) brains are connected to their eyes in a similar way to primates, but different from all other mammals (including smaller bats). Though apparently this theory doesnt hold up when comparing the DNA from flying foxes with small bats and primates respectively.
I was in my parents' yard once and something wet fell on my head. I touched it and it was blood red. Totally thought I was bleeding until I noticed tiny berry seeds in the substance. My grandma said that happening to me meant I'd have good luck.
She just said general good luck. I believed her because I'm convinced she a witch or druid or some shit. She has this uncanny ability to know things she has no way of knowing. She's also absolutely incredible with plants.
Lmao apparently she was hot when she was young. She isn't blood related to me, so I didn't inherit any cool plant powers from her. I'm actually terrible with plants, tbh. Great with ducks, though.

This here is why I come to Comic Strips.
what a weird kink, but hey, YKINMK
YKINMK? Lemmy guess:
Ya Know, I Need My Kink.
I assume it's "Your kink is not my kink"

Well here I thought I wasn't going to learn anything today and BAM I was wrong again

Pretty sure that's standard practice right before turning on Faux News.

Well there you go. I ain't no bat's cousin.
I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter
That's not how it's spelt
Thanks, I hate it.
Friend of mine had bats in between his attic and the outdoor screen, used to climb a ladder to check them out.
"FUCK! They're fucking disgusting! They just piss and shit all over each other!"
A lot of people pay extra for that.
Gonna kink shame a bit here: I’ll never understand that. It’s fucking disgusting.
Same, as a kinky person.
Now I will think of this when listening to slayer.
Yeah. "Raining Blood" got few extra layers of meanings...
I was standing under a tree once and a drop of blood fell on my hand out of nowhere. This makes sense!

Was it good luck for something?
She just said general good luck. I believed her because I'm convinced she a witch or druid or some shit. She has this uncanny ability to know things she has no way of knowing. She's also absolutely incredible with plants.
Your grandma sounds hot

Sorry, didn’t mean to objectify her, I can just imagine her as a Druid growing some bitchin plants 😁

Finally Hunter S. Thompson's aversion to bat country has been explained.
