Dogs Wiping Their Bums

mizila says...

This. These dogs aren't being funny, they're begging for help... for sweet, sweet anal sac release. If you don't want to do it yourself basically any vet/groomer will be more than happy to help you out.>> ^Intrepid:

They are NOT "Wiping Their Bums". Anal sacs (also called "anal glands") are two small glands just inside your pet's anus. The material secreted into these glands is thick and foul-smelling. Most animals can empty these glands voluntarily for scent marking or in self-defense (like a skunk might do). Domestic animals have largely lost their ability to empty these sacs voluntarily. Walking around and normal defecation serves to empty the glands but some animals become unable to empty their glands on their own at all. The sacs become impacted and uncomfortable. Dogs with impacted anal sacs usually scoot their rear on the ground in an attempt to empty the glands.

Pamala's Prayer - Just Say No To Premarital Kissing

Sketch says...

God created people with a finite amount of love hormone in their aphrodidic gland which lies beneath your faith organ! You don't want to waste it on some high school jock! If you don't wait to kiss until marriage, or you won't have enough love left for your husband and the Lord!

brain surgery to remove dermoid cyst

srd says...

If you're as ignorant as I was, the definition of a dermoid cyst is according to wikipedia:

A dermoid cyst is a cystic teratoma that contains developmentally mature skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands, sometimes luxuriant clumps of long hair, and often pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue. Because it contains mature tissue, a dermoid cyst is almost always benign.



An introspective third eye... Dunno if I want one though.

Weight For It

How much of our brain do we use?

kagenin says...

I'm wondering if the Brits really do use such different terminology in anatomy.

I've been going over brain anatomy in class recently (my girlfriend and I are currently training to be CMTs). "Lower Brain" is more commonly referred to as the Cerebellum, and it is, in fact, largely responsible for our autonomic nervous system. It also acts like as an output filter of sorts - it helps manage the nervous impulses we need to generate to move skeletal (voluntary) muscles.

I'm confused why they're calling the entire Cerebrum the "cortex." The Cortex of the brain is it's "surface" - that's what "cortex" means ("corticosteroids" are secreted by the surface tissues of our adrenal glands). Also, I've never heard of an "amigdala" before (Wasn't she Natalie Portman's character in those awful Star Wars prequels?), but the structure highlighted in the video is the Diencephalon, which houses the hypothalimus and the pituitary glands. The "emotional center" of the brain is referred to as the "Limbic center," which resides behind the frontal lobe. Reflex actions are usually handled directly by the spinal cord for things that need to happen faster than our brains will process, like kicking your leg when your doctor hits your knee with that funny rubber hammer.

Cuddly Frog

robbersdog49 says...

The toad isn't trying to escape because it's just not fast enough. A frog would try to hop away, it can move fast. Evolution has taught the toads that their best chance for survival is to react as you're seeing here. It's not running away because it can't run away, not fast enough to be effective. It's got poison glands all over it's back and it's trying to use them. Just because you don't understand the behavior it doesn't mean you can arbitrarily assign your own meaning to it and that becomes the truth. Sorry.

Besides this, what have all the rest of your straw men got to do with anything? I mean seriously?
>> ^FlowersInHisHair:
>> ^robbersdog49:
The toad's main defense is the poison in it's skin on it's back and the top of it's head. It's trying to defend itself by keeping the poisoned areas where the attention is. It's terrified and is acting defensively.

And yet the toad is making no attempt to escape.
Why is it that when someone posts a video like this, there's always someone who has to sniffily try and make out some kind of animal cruelty is going on, or something awful has happened to the animal in the past?
"Actually kittens are terrified when they play with string."
"Dogs only chase flashlight beams if they've been abused as puppies."
"Hamsters run in wheels as a display of what's known as cage-stress."
"Otters only float on their backs holding hands if their sexual development was interrupted at the pre-Oedipal stage."
I mean, ffs.

Horrible Wheelie Fail

Many sifters are extremists when talking about religion (Religion Talk Post)

choggie says...

"What i hope for is to see less videos about religion and atheism and for people to loose interests in this retarded war. I got tired of all the video spam on these subjects long ago, but they seem to keep returning."

As long as there be unfulfilled, frustrated, bitter, and uncreative folk, there will be arguments "for" or "against" anything and everything.

Religions make Semolians....greenbacks...MONEY. Including the 21st Century religion of Atheism. Both sides will always profit in our current paradigm, where money reigns supreme. YES! Has not the choggie been spouting from day 1 here on the sift (with a chambered downvote shotgun at the ready) that the rabid, sophomoric, finger-pointing and name-calling by both sides is a circle jerk of mammoth proportions?

The sift has enough video wreckage-those who play here and show up to look, usually have a brain with a solid handle on a take on God. Personally???...If ya wholesale rule out a creative force in the uni/multiverse that may or may not be a benevolent omni-being or catalytic observer/initiator, well, you simply ain't had a third-eye opening experience, and ya need to have yer pineal gland fibrillated!

Praise Bejesus Mary Magdaloin!

shole says...

>> ^MarineGunrock:
Let's not forget that the prostate gland has been referred to as the "male's clitoris."


i'm fairly sure you mean 'male g-spot'? (though even that is a bad comparison)
the tip of your dick IS literally the 'male clitoris'
it's the same piece of flesh that only bends to shape by what your chromosomes read

Dan Savage on "resorting" to clitoral stimulation

rottenseed says...

I believe what determines a female's ability to have a vaginally stimulated orgasm is related to the existence of the Skene's gland in her vagina. This gland has been dubbed the "female prostate" and studies have shown a relationship between female ejaculation and having this gland as well as the existence of the "mythical g-spot" and having this gland.
