No, just Cheeto dust.
it is also worth pointing out because we are thinking of the car comparison… but cheetah’s only spend a very brief time anywhere close to their top speed (usually under 30 seconds). A cheetah attack is over one way or the other in seconds, and a cheetah would almost die of heat stroke if it sprinted for a full minute.
IIRC one of the big evolutionary advantages of Homo Sapiens as a predator at least was stamina - or our ability to run for comparatively long periods of time.
Probably not, thanks to their nictitating membrane (or haw).
It’s an extra see-through eyelid that keeps dust and debris out of their eyes.
So they are related to Vulcans? /s
Clearly. Where do you think they got those ears from?
And here I was thinking they must be amphibians.
Oh so like birds? That’s cool!
Haaaaaw yeeeaaaahhhhh!
My front of my car used to get covered in bugs years ago, but not these days. Not a good sign.
But the OP’s shower thought made me chuckle! It’s something I’ve never thought about before.
Cars are more aerodynamic, compounding the reduction in splatters caused by reduced populations. I can tell you my motorcycle helmet, little windscreen, and blunt nose catche a ton more bugs than my cars, which aren’t even all that swoopy by modern standards. A splatted beetle or moth take up a critical amount of viewing space on a helmet, very noticeable
Insect populations have halved in the last ten years
if only that happened specifically to mosquitos. blegh.
Imma need a big grant to find out. Really big. Like, Summer House big.
Story time: once upon a time, back when I was much, much cooler than I am now, I used to ride a motorcycle. I had this bad habit of riding with the visor up and no sunglasses. That is, until one day, a bug got stuck in my eyelid. I had to ride for 30 minutes like that before I got home and was able to wash out my eyeball.
Moral of the story: eye protection! Always eye protection!
Even with my visor down with a full face mask I had it happen once. I guess it came in through the neck somehow? I also had that fucker in my eyeball for like 30-40 minutes before I got to a gas station
Oh no! Bugs!
😑
Maybe that’s why they don’t smile a lot.
They actually love it
