In 2012, an Afghan Taliban Commander Mohammed Ashan turned himself in to local authorities, trying to claim the $100 reward prize he had seen on a poster for his arrest.

a'ight i'm about to detonate your realities forever with this little known fact mind blower

There's a little island called Assateague Island off the coast of Maryland. A 37 mile stretch of sand. No people live here. You know who does? Horses. Ponies. Hundreds of them. As the story goes they're the ancestors of a shipwreck that happened there hundreds of years ago.



these are actual assateague island horses



this is just an obese horse that isn't from assateague island and may or may not be photoshopped







There are no real wild horses left in North America - all wild horses, including the mustangs in the SW, are descendents of horses the Spanish and other Europeans brought over in the 15th century.

The last truly wild horses in North America were hunted to extinction tens of thousands of years ago. And in fact there are no truly wild horses left, with the exception of one, in Mongolia, which is highly debated, called the przewalski horse


Also that pic is probably photoshopped because that horse would be at extreme risk of laminitis/founder. They can literally eat themselves to death much like we can, but death can come much sooner. Nothing like a 6am call from the stables to let you know that your horse has somehow escaped it's stall and eaten all of the prepared grain and food for all the horses, and now the vet's on their way to forcibly pump mineral oil down your dumbass horse's throat or else it's going to die.

The Ginko Biloba tree is the last species of its kind within the plant Genus "Ginko": https://www.treenames.net/ti/ginkgo/ginkgo_biloba.html

All other plants of the genus have gone extinct. :eek:

No. i lied. its moar than the entire west coast.

It was also partially formed by an asteroid impact  35 million years ago, when it was a tropical oasis. It created a mega tsunami that reached the blue ridge mountains.

and those assateague horses are chill af. there are some fucking gorgeous spots on the bay, the more remote the better. Theres some dank nature preserves near rehoboth. Looks almost like africa.

Actually, just like us. Homo Sapiens are the last of their kind.

The most recent hominoid species to have lived was Homo Floresiensis who died out about 17,000 years ago: https://www.ancienthistorylists.com/people/7-homo-species-close-present-human-existed-earth/

Farms and a few cities until you hit va beach. A few parks and vacation spots. Not many. The land is great but difficult to see by car. You'll see more of the deltas.

There's a bunch of weird culty pyramids and cult activity hidden in Southeastern PA.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/rosicrucian-pyramids

Apparently it was a bit of a hot bed of cult activities in the '80s(but then again, satanic panic was in vogue then), and my godmother, who was an emt during this time, said that there was at least one(that she knows of) instance of human sacrifice/murder around that area(in particular, around the New Hope/Frenchtown area for people who may be familair).

There's also rumors of a haunted Dupont mansion around the area? Closer to Chadds Ford - which is where they filmed the village and is full of really old narrow, windy roads with lots of old ass buildings, pretty much. It's also regarded as a cult house.


That's mostly speculation, but tbh, it's transcended generations at this point.

Last year IBM revealed the first quantum computer, IBM Q System One. The first ever circuit-based commercial quantum computer. We're still in the infancy of quantum computing but its incredible the progress we've made so far.

@OP, Technically Russia and USA are only 2.5 miles apart at their closest points.

https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-bell-ca-revc&source=android-browser&q=hpw+far+apart+are+the+diomede+islands

The pyramids were already built when the last wooly mamoths died. a small population survived on an island and only died oit aboit 3700 years ago.

Sperm whales can concentrate their echo location underwater clicks in rhythmically pressurized patterns that can instantaneously kill a human via internally imploding organs with resonant frequency.:zomgwtf: on a lesser amount of force, your eardrums burst.

They do this with their monkey flaps:themoreyouknow:

Quote:

The colossal toothed whales pass air through nasal passages which is subsequently forced through two lips called “monkey lips” at the front of its nose just below the blowhole. (The production of sound is similar to air passing through the neck of a balloon.) The sound is then amplified by a fatty, wax-filled organ called the spermaceti organ that sits on top of the skull. The clicks then bounce off a portion of the skull and are directed back outward through the spermaceti organ.




https://roaring.earth/sperm-whales-can-vibrate-humans-to-death/

*With the more whales, the stronger the potential energy.

Like a hole pod of whales pissed off will just :header: 

Don't fuck with whales, dawg.
