SteamPunkFishToo wrote:Feesh were also believed to be unable to feel pain due to their brains not evolving the cluster that registers pain like in mammal brains. This is now under debate as fish have been observed to react to painful stimulus and be trained to avoid interactions with things that bring them pain, meaning that their brain uses a different method of pain reception compared to mammals.

EEP.. I have fillet fish alive in my time so I can in fact say they do feel pain..

oh yea time to vote on WA thingy!

Commend Audioslavia
one nope!

Nope vote!

Also new WA thingy!

The smartest species of fish is the African Elephant Nosed Fish, which has been observed doing high end mental functions such as playing with makeshift balls made out of leaves.

YA WA thingies!

time to vote on Requiring Promulgation Of National Laws!

2 yep 1 nope! I vote yep!

Fun fact, did you know that the naked mole rat is the only eusocial mammal on Earth? Not only that, it's the only eusocial creature that exists outside of insect species.

how often is SPFTfacts posted? and are the facts random or is it related to the topic? I wanna hear more obsure facts (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ

Wikipedia might not be the most reliable sauce, but I think it's pretty reliable.

Apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damaraland_mole-rat Damaraland mole-rat is the other eusocial mammal.

But thanks, I didn't know the word eusocial before.

Hmm, guess I was wrong about that. Thank you for correcting me on this.

A song about Yggdrasil just popped up in my Spotify new releases thingy: https://youtu.be/Sy1y6FEr5e0

Fact of the day: The U.S.S.R. built a system called Dead Hand which was meant to be used as an automatic nuclear launch system in case Soviet high command was destroyed. It lays dormant most of the time, unless Russia is in a crisis with a nuclear power. The system operates by using seismic, radiation, light, and pressure sensors to detect if a nuclear blast has occurred, upon which it will launch all ICBMs to preloaded locations.

OOC: Whenever I see the word Yggdrasil, I immediately think of Dragon Quest and SSBU.

Yggdrasil is also featured in Rozen Maiden, an old anime, but still good.

Not old! it it's old then so am I..

We has a tie! if it breaks might vote if not..

We have a new WA thingy! Repeal: “Ensuring Safe Syringe Use”!

Fact of the day: Ionized positive hydrogen is just a lone proton, so why don't we call it a rouge proton? This is because it's still the atom of hydrogen which can have isotopes like deuterium and tritium, which is a lone proton with one and two neutrons respectively. Second fact, it is deuterium and tritium that is needed to undergo fusion for hydrogen to make helium, that or you get some rouge neutrons in the mix.

Hii guys i am new here.

Fun Fact: When a nuclear power station explodes, this is due to a hydrogen gas build up caused by the heat from the hot and/or melting down reactor. The water and oxygen get separated from the heat and radiation overtime and begin building up pressure in the system. Generation 1, 2, and (maybe) 3 nuclear power plants manually pump this gas out of the chambers, but if the pumps fail, the gas builds up and eventually leading to rupture, and due to the high amounts of oxygen and hydrogen, a flash spark can be created causing the typical explosion. Generation 4 and 5 nuclear plants don't use pumps but rather a passive pressure valve system, thus preventing these kinds of explosions in the future.

A Dead Hand-like system is a staple for any rp nation I created, nice to know such a system actually exists, and is actually an array of sensors scattered around to determine if weapons of mass destruction have been used on the country.

Fact of the day: There is a fish known as the Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) which lives deep in the ocean. This fish is famous for looking like a a hideous blob; however, this is caused by decompression damage as the fish is meant to be under enormous pressure in order to survive, so in their natural habitat the blobfish looks smooth and like any other fish you'd expect to see.

Just finished Dragon Age Origins. It was great 10/10 would incinerate Amaranthine again.

*is he going to talk about the viperfish next?*

oooohh! flag has so many patterns! i likes it!

Fact of the FEESH: Viperfish are a deepsea fish that live between 80m and 1,520m, coming up to the shallower depths at nigh. These fish have long fangs that are too large to fit inside their own mouth, so in order to close their jaws, their teeth can fold back into their head. The Viperfish uses an elongates dorsal fin with photophores on the end to bait in pray, along with ventral photophores. If the Viperfish catches it's prey, the long fangs pierce the animal, killing it for the Viperfish to swallow it whole.
