The male lion then killed the cubs so the female lions would go in to heat. Nature is majestic.

Male: "I killed your son"

Female: "That's so fucking hot"

I once watched a youtube video where a guy with a super hot tinder profile would chat with random girls and he could say whatever vile shit and they would all be like: aww, but you're so hot tho.

I murdered your child.

So wanna hang out some time?

I ate him.

Raaawr ;)

Male: let put me my thorny penis into your vulva and bite into your neck so you can't move and I can keep my thong in for a while.

Some people are into that

New evidence suggests that the old 'male lions just eat what the females provide' trope is inocrrect.

New evidence? This is over a decade old

On the timescale of lion evolution, this information literally just came to light.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago

It's new to ME. >:C

Did you really just direct link a PDF download?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Unless your browser is poopy, it should just open the pdf in the browser without saving it as a file.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (5 children)

When in reality, the browser just downloads it, then opens it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How else should it even be possible? Obviously every browser needs to download it and 100 % too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It could put it in a temporary cache that's deleted when you close it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

So it did safe the file...?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah smarty pants obviously it has to download the data, but by default it shouldnt permanently store it as a file in your download folder. Files like this should go into a tmp file or only into RAM.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'd check if I was you. I think both Chrome and Firefox keep it in downloads folder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Idk about default Firefox, but both Fennec on Android and Librewolf on Desktop do not permanently save it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, obviously. That's what we have a problem with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Downloads it? Yes. Save as a file? No, atleast not permanently

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, usually in downloads folder for Firefox. I think Chrome is the same.

Except a webpage isn't exactly stored on the computer. JS and CSS files are cached. Images also, but not HTML. So no, not like a web page.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

By default any HTTP response is cached, including HTML.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It has to download any content it shows you, whether that's a web page, pdf, or anything else. It can't just magically know what to display without downloading it. Whether it stores it permanently is another question. Most browsers don't do this. If yours does there's probably a setting for that, or it's just a really bad browser.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Firefox mobile downloads it first, then you have to tap "open".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

MJ PDF is better than pdf.js.

This doesn't answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

True "alpha" behavior

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't want to hunt anymore either if I survived the brutality of male lion adolescence

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You can interpret this in very diffrent way

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Dude has to be a good dad for his breadwinners. Guy had some rough early years, cmon. (Seriously, young male lions usually go through some SHIT before they take over a pride)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Yep, they take care of their babies.

emasculating men via lion cub sexual dimorphism or decatulating male lion cubs via meme men for science is what we call a weird hobby

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

This guy feels emasculated by a meme about lions
