Pete Buttigieg is NOT a cold blooded "reptile". Actually rodents can freeze to 1° C if they need to. Nature is truly miraculous in its evolutionary adaptations to survive
:will-fancy:
Heterothermic animals are those that can switch between poikilothermic and homeothermic strategies. These changes in strategies typically occur on a daily basis or on an annual basis. More often than not, it is used as a way to dissociate the fluctuating metabolic rates seen in some small mammals and birds (e.g. bats and hummingbirds), from those of traditional cold blooded animals. In many bat species, body temperature and metabolic rate are elevated only during activity. When at rest, these animals reduce their metabolisms drastically, which results in their body temperature dropping to that of the surrounding environment. This makes them homeothermic when active, and poikilothermic when at rest. This phenomenon has been termed 'daily torpor' and was intensively studied in the Djungarian hamster. During the hibernation season, this animal shows strongly reduced metabolism each day during the rest phase while it reverts to endothermic metabolism during its active phase, leading to normal euthermic body temperatures (around 38 °C).
based survival praxis, did this evolve because of the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs?
Larger mammals (e.g. ground squirrels) and bats show multi-day torpor bouts during hibernation (up to several weeks) in winter.[1] During these multi-day torpor bouts, body temperature drops to ~1 °C above ambient temperature and metabolism may drop to about 1% of the normal endothermic metabolic rate. Even in these deep hibernators, the long periods of torpor is interrupted by bouts of endothermic metabolism, called arousals (typically lasting between 4–20 hours).
some people also have a 420 arousal period
Regional heterothermy describes organisms that are able to maintain different temperature "zones" in different regions of the body.

:pete:
haha this fucking pseudo-intellectual discovered that actually Stalinism is based, this is hilarious
also ctrl+f "alienation" not found, this discussion isn't very Marxian lol, capitalism is bad because it alienates workers, not abstract notions of "power" or "profit"
