Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it's technically menstration but different from "overt menstration" found in humans and primates.

Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn't occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here's a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.

This here is why I come to Comic Strips.

what a weird kink, but hey, YKINMK

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

YKINMK? Lemmy guess:

Your Kink Is Not My Kitchen?
Yolanda Knows If Neutered Monkeys Kneel
Your Kids Invented No Machines, Kevin!

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Ya Know, I Need My Kink.

[-] Live_your_lives@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I assume it's "Your kink is not my kink"

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, at least one of the Ks has to have something to do with kitchens, Kevins or kneeling. Those are the rules that I just made up for no apparent reason.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Well here I thought I wasn't going to learn anything today and BAM I was wrong again

[-] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying "WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN'T LEARNING SHIT TODAY."

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure that's standard practice right before turning on Faux News.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 7 points 1 week ago

Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don't know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_primate_hypothesis

TL:DR : flying foxes' (those really large bats) brains are connected to their eyes in a similar way to primates, but different from all other mammals (including smaller bats). Though apparently this theory doesnt hold up when comparing the DNA from flying foxes with small bats and primates respectively.

Well there you go. I ain't no bat's cousin.

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago

That's not how it's spelt

[-] Origen@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Friend of mine had bats in between his attic and the outdoor screen, used to climb a ladder to check them out.

"FUCK! They're fucking disgusting! They just piss and shit all over each other!"

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

A lot of people pay extra for that.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Gonna kink shame a bit here: I’ll never understand that. It’s fucking disgusting.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Same, as a kinky person.

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Now I will think of this when listening to slayer.

[-] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah. "Raining Blood" got few extra layers of meanings...

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I was standing under a tree once and a drop of blood fell on my hand out of nowhere. This makes sense!

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I was in my parents' yard once and something wet fell on my head. I touched it and it was blood red. Totally thought I was bleeding until I noticed tiny berry seeds in the substance. My grandma said that happening to me meant I'd have good luck.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Was it good luck for something?

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

She just said general good luck. I believed her because I'm convinced she a witch or druid or some shit. She has this uncanny ability to know things she has no way of knowing. She's also absolutely incredible with plants.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Your grandma sounds hot

/jk

Sorry, didn’t mean to objectify her, I can just imagine her as a Druid growing some bitchin plants 😁

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Lmao apparently she was hot when she was young. She isn't blood related to me, so I didn't inherit any cool plant powers from her. I'm actually terrible with plants, tbh. Great with ducks, though.

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Congratulation to thee friend! You hef been splashed by the menstruating bat! You hef many years of great fortune ahead!

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hah it happened when I was a wee lass and well life sucked afterwards, oh well 😅

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, you got one of those bad menstruating bats.. 😬

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

And I'm burning that hat

[-] shottymcb@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Finally Hunter S. Thompson's aversion to bat country has been explained.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

TIL it was because of the menstruation
