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

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 139 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

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 2 months ago

It's new to ME. >:C

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Did you really just direct link a PDF download?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

[–] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

So it did safe the file...?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

[–] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 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

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

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

By default any HTTP response is cached, including HTML.

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 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.

[–] Donut@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 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?

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 22 points 2 months ago

True "alpha" behavior

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 19 points 2 months ago

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

[–] lemmur@szmer.info 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You can interpret this in very diffrent way

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 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)

[–] Michal@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

Yep, they take care of their babies.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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 2 months ago

This guy feels emasculated by a meme about lions

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

Male Lions protect the territory while the female lions go grocery shopping
