  • So hamsters are okay, but puppies aren’t? As @Fosheze alluded to, it has to do more with the culture that you were raised in than it has to do with any universal standard of morality.

    A quick Google search reveals that snakes can eat prey that is the diameter of the widest part of the snake. Some snakes, such as large constrictors, can and will eat a dog. Snakes are carnivores and need to eat a varied diet of prey, so it comes as no surprise that a dog could be a valid option.

    Of course, as with everything, it gets more complicated than that. For instance, intent, food viability, local laws and regulations, how the prey was prepared, etc.



  • A mnemonic is usually a way to memorize the order of a group of hard-to-remember words or phrases. You come up with a set of easy to remember words, or a phrase that starts with the same first letter of the harder to memorize words. For example, Every Good Boy Does Fine is a mnemonic to help people remember the lines on a musical note staff (E, G, B, D, F). For most people, it is easier to remember the phrase “Every Good Boy Does Fine” than to remember E, G, B, D, F so if you can remember the mnemonic, it makes it easier to remember the things that you’re actually trying to remember.

    In the picture, the mnemonic is “Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly” which is supposed to be used to help someone remember the great Lakes. However, notice how every word in the mnemonic starts with the same letter (L) and is used to memorize the Lakes which also all start with L. This makes the mnemonic pretty useless.

    A proper mnemonic for the lakes would be something like “Super Heros Must Eat Oats” (Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario).
