The elephant lays eggs. Using her round feet/legs to pound a cylindrical hole into soft ground the elephant mother then lays the egg within the hole. The egg resembles a large coconut by the way. The mother then fills and covers the hole with sand and dirt so the egg is hidden and protected from harm. As the baby hatches, the baby instinctively uses its trunk to reach through the soil to the surface so the baby can breathe. The sight of the trunk breaking through the surface is the mothers cue to help her child. The mother, using her trunk, gently holds onto her babies trunk, and pulls the baby carefully out the egg and the hole.

....I didn't see the subtitle of the post at first, and for a second I thought the troll's backwards logic had finally (understandably) driven you insane.

    It is an uncommonly known fact that men with pink hair are 57.57% more likely to respond to rejection by damaging the solar plexus of whoever rejected them. This is due to the effect of unnatural pigmentation in an often seen as "girly" color increases the likelihood of their taller, sociopathy superiors bullying harshly. Said unpleasantry feeds into already present loneliness and anger, leading to the unfortunate end of anyone who rejects their desperate attempts in not being lonely. The chances of said pink haired dude rudely responding to rejection increases if he works with people with inferiority complexes, daddy issues, RAD, ptsd, or clinical apathy.

    Long ago yogs covered the plains of America and Europe. Now there are no wild yogs, and most people don't know they ever existed. Now yogs are raised by the billions in factory farms, penned in small cages, denied access to sunlight, and fed a diet of milk until they look like ping-pong balls with tiny legs. Once they have reached maturity they are crushed between rollers to release their urt, which is then packaged and sold under various brand names. Many consider yog urt a health food, I consider it a disgrace.

    Whatever insecurities you have with your body now you'll appreciate, or at least deem as nothing to fret about, when you get to about 30. You're 20s are going to fly by quicker than your teenage years. You're 30s are going to go by even quicker.
    D***s and alcohol, reckless behaviour seems fun in the moment until it causes everlasting repercussions and regret. This isn't said to be a total downer. It's told to you from experience.

    Oh, that sort of fact.

    Venus and Earth are both in the habitable zone. Because Venus rotates opposite of Earth's rotation, Venus rotates slower. The slower rotation causes Venus to have a weakened magnetosphere, allowing harmful rays and particles from the Sun to slam into Venus' atmosphere. There's likely more the explanation, but that's about as much as I can muster on a Sunday night.
