  • Fun fact some may find disturbing, when you see a red-eye photo you're actually looking at the inside of the person's eyeballs. Red-eye in photos happens when a camera flash reflects off the back of the eye, specifically the choroid, a layer rich in blood vessels behind the retina. When the flash is too quick for the pupil to contract, the light enters the eye and bounces off this red tissue, giving you a great picture of the inside of their eyeballs. I hope everyone enjoys knowing that as much as I have.

  • It's a shell corp they use to buy up all the residential housing in cities across the US, and with a nice name like Invitation Homes who would ever guess that they're a multinational conglomerate? As long as you're not renting you should be fine other than the fact that corporate rentals, 'investment properties', and Airbnb have cannibalized the housing market. Good luck.

  • Societal drug abuse is indicative of so many systemic issues. It's far beyond a shame that conservatives used 'the war on drugs' to attack minorities and political dissenters and enrich pharmaceutical companies instead of focusing on the roots of the issue.

  • I mean okay it says a lot that you don't know who Greg Plast is, but we all have knowledge gaps. It says much more that you can't even be bothered to do a quick search to see who he is or even skim the article provided before discounting it entirely. If you had you'd find not only the evidence presented but the high profile and notably trustworthy people he's working with, and your rebuttal of the article would be a lot more informed and impactful.

    Russia Issues Ominous Warning About Undersea Internet Cables

    Nikolai Patrushev, aid to Putin, has accused the U.S. and the U.K. of intending to sabotage underwater internet cables and planning to destabilize the maritime energy trade.

    Citing U.S. officials, CNN reported in September that Russia was developing a sabotage unit with submarines and drones to target underwater infrastructure by order of the defense ministry's Main Directorate for Deep- Sea Research (GUGI).

    A Swedish investigation found evidence of sabotage on the pipelines between Russia and Germany. Moscow had initially accused the U.S. Probes by Sweden and Denmark were closed in February 2024 without identifying those responsible, although a German investigation is ongoing.

    Media in Norway have reported concerns at the presence in the last few weeks of the Russian intelligence ship Yantar in international waters alongside its coast near critical seabed infrastructure such as oil and gas pipelines and cables for internet and telecommunications.

    It's funny that pics has a small fraction of the subscribers that catpics has. I get it though, I wasn't subscribed to pics on Reddit, and I almost didn't subscribe here. It was a cesspool of bland pictures with sob-stories. This pics is much better. Anyway here's a Scrub-Jay.
