Thanks for the clarification. i love that people on here know about this stuff....

Spider respiration isn't like ours, it's based on diffusion rather than forcing the air through like we do.... or, in other words, no.
I felt quite sorry for the poor little fellow.

Is it possible that the movement is a consequence of it breathing rather than the heart beat?

I thought I was playing Bastion again with a new narrator. Turns out this new guy's pretty good. Blunt, but good. The Redneck Skateboarding Announcer Brigade™ would have picked him up in half a heart beat, except for his drinkin' problems.

/sorry, too much playing

Sifty, the fact that you watch my animations makes my little black heart beat once.

Hey, that's me.

Aaaand guess how many of these right-wing conservatives are against?

this is how you decrease the number of abortions:
1. free comprehensive, scientifically sound, sex education to all
2. readily available, easily accessible, very affordable, guilt-free access to contraception in every community
3. counseling
4. streamline the adoption process to make it an actual option to EVERY sane, loving adult with the means to care for a child. i'd adopt a 3rd baby in a heart beat if it didn't cost $40k and they let single women of modest income do it. i have the means to support another child, but i don't have $40k laying around.
5. make health care a right
6. revisit public policies that actually alleviate poverty
7. equal pay for women
8. make legitimate vocational schools as affordable as community college and/or offer more grant-eligible vocational programs within community colleges... i know from experience that learning a trade can offer as much opportunity for single mothers as it can for any young man.
guess how many of these abortion-preventing solutions planned parenthood has a hand in???

I have a cat like this and her heart beats way faster than normal..i think its a vibrational thing..

>> ^artician:
It's my belief that some species naturally have Synesthesia. While we're just hearing the guitar, that cat could be seeing all sorts of colors or motion. I only recently had this hypothesis because we adopted an old cat a few years ago that reacts really similarly to certain noises. It's always as though they're experiencing the sound physically or visually.
I wish I could forward this comment to a scientist who cared.

Fake, little cellular beings with theoretical heart beats are not alive, wtf makes you think some decimal places equates a heart beat. shut up and quit wasting sifter time fuck bot, all you're good for is taking it up the RAM pipe and banning Spammers.

I don't agree with it either, but there you have it. I doubt this video will influence anyone who wouldn't do it already to jam live, slimy, wiggling cephalopods into their pieholes, so *promote *quality. >> ^BoneRemake:

"Hey damnit, quit playing with your food !! "
As well, I really, really! do not agree with eating things while it still has a heart beat. Just my fantastic important opinion. This is as bad if not "more " so than that live fish that gets sliced and diced.

I dunno, this one actually seems legit:

We had some awesome ideas for a number of videos, but with not too many people in the area, and after seeing Hunter’s incredible shooting ability, we went with this life threatening trick. Seriously, the dude places 4 shots within a dime at 100 yards. Its unreal. I knew he was beyond even my best potential when he explained that he missed the 5th shot (went on the outside edge of the dime) because his heart beat was off.

I'm relatively convinced while going "wow, holy shit" at the shot.

and how many cows whose faces have been sheered off have you worked with?

..oh right, that's what i thought ..nancy naysayer

>> ^BoneRemake:

a well done fake video.
No way anything with a heart beat would just be " standing around looking side to side" if it had its elongated face ripped off, it would of had to snap the face bones, break cartilage sever veins. Just not happen-in Holmes

I'm constantly defending police officers on the Sift, but there is nothing worthy of defending in this video. The cop was an asshat from the first second to the last.

It's his job to pull over speeders and give them tickets. It's not his job to pull people over and be a giant prick.

All he had to do was pull them over, be friendly (as long as they were being respectful to him), give them a ticket, remind them to slow down, and drive away. Instead he provides perfect fodder for people who already dislike police officers.

>> ^UsesProzac:
I don't care what the circumstances are, threatening someone with rape is never ok.

Where did you all grow up? I'm pretty certain I heard worse 'threats' than this direct at someone every single day in grade school from Grade 7 onward. The cop isn't threatening to do anything but charge them for the offense they committed. Sure, he goes on to suggest that they don't want to go to prison unless they like being raped. He also goes on to not even give them a ticket. If I could trade the two officers that have politely given me tickets with this guy, I would in a heart beat.
Seriously, does this officer really sound that threatening to people? Rude and inappropriate perhaps, but the only thing he threatened to do himself was to write them up for reckless driving, which was after all, his job.
