why are they called the mongoose the name doesn’t suit their size. Like when i think of a mongoose i’m thinking big deer-like animal. I would give them a more rodent-like name. The guy who named them was the nephew of Napoleon, maybe that explains why he gave such a small critter such a big scary aura

i look at the subreddit for weird eggs and there will be the most deformed awful looking eggs you’ve ever seen, like there was even a glow in the dark egg. this allows me to appreciate the eggs in my life which are free from mutation and oddities. i have never once had a weird egg and i am fearful for the day i will have a weird egg

i propose a new type of weather or natural disaster - perhaps a lava tornado or even a poison hurricane. not only would it look cool but it would inject greater employment into the storm chasing industry as a whole; making storm chasing a respected field instead of a clown show
