In completely unrelated news I’m tired of celebrity culture. I’m sick of hearing the hot takes on the Oscars. After an initial laugh the night of I do not care. I don’t want to see the James Corden or the SNl takes on it. Why are we still talking about all this shit and not the hooded pitohui

I was wondering, I know phoenix is a mythical creature but is it herbivore or a carnivore or perhaps an omnivore like if it's real what do you think it'll eat but if I look at the beak and claws it's similar to an eagle I think?
great news, phoenixes aren't actually mythical creatures at all!
in fact, here's one right now:
that's right, the myth of the phoenix was very likely started by this actual real bird, in Africa! right on the border of Tanzania and Kenya, actually.
riiight about... HERE.
this is Lake Natron.
Lake Natron is an alkaline salt lake of volcanic origin, where the water is as caustic as pure ammonia and can be hotter than a sauna at 140 F!
what lives here? not much. just the extremophile bacteria that gives the water and salt flats their pink tint, really.
oh, and these guys.
that's right, if you're a Lesser Flamingo, this volcanic hellscape is home sweet home! they live in the lake year-round, feeding on the bacteria that they painstakingly filter out of the near-boiling waters with their hooked beaks.
and at some point, some traveling humans presumably noticed a flock of giant pink birds taking flight from a poisonous and hard-to-reach bright-red hellscape, with billowing clouds of steam that might have looked like smoke from a distance, and took word to the nearest settlement. and from there the tale passed on through the old world, eventually growing into the legend of the bird that sets itself alight to be reborn that we know and love today!
5 years old Moroccan boy Rayan has fallen into a well about 3 days ago. The rescue mission is still going, there’s footage of with boy still alive and breathing through a tube.
He has caught the attention of all of the arabic countries (and there’s people asking why Yemeni kids don’t get the same treatment).
I just want everyone to keep him in their thoughts. Hopefully he’ll be rescued soon 💔
He flight from the darkness of the well to the light of the sky
Five year old boy Rayan fell into a well in northern Morocco. He little boy was trapped in the 100ft (32 meters) well for five days with no water or food. He was finally rescued from the well and taken to the hospital as soon as they could.
But sadly he passed away in the hospital shortly after he was rescued.
The little guy was strong, not all people can survive without food or water for days.
Heaven has gained an angel.
