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

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 139 points 1 year ago

Male: "I killed your son"

Female: "That's so fucking hot"

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

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 ;)

Literal IT Crowd episode plot

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.

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Some people are into that

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

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 37 points 1 year ago

New evidence? This is over a decade old

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 45 points 1 year ago

It's new to ME. >:C

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Did you really just direct link a PDF download?

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 year ago

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

[-] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] workerONE@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

So it did safe the file...?

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.

[-] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

By default any HTTP response is cached, including HTML.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] Donut@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

MJ PDF is better than pdf.js.

[-] TeryVeneno@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 22 points 1 year ago

True "alpha" behavior

[-] bricklove@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago

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

[-] lemmur@szmer.info 16 points 1 year ago

You can interpret this in very diffrent way

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago
[-] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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)

[-] Michal@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Yep, they take care of their babies.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] hex@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

This guy feels emasculated by a meme about lions
