The male lion then killed the cubs so the female lions would go in to heat. Nature is majestic.

    Male: "I killed your son"

    Female: "That's so fucking hot"

    I once watched a youtube video where a guy with a super hot tinder profile would chat with random girls and he could say whatever vile shit and they would all be like: aww, but you're so hot tho.

    I murdered your child.

    So wanna hang out some time?

    I ate him.

    Raaawr ;)

    New evidence suggests that the old 'male lions just eat what the females provide' trope is inocrrect.

    Unless your browser is poopy, it should just open the pdf in the browser without saving it as a file.

    When in reality, the browser just downloads it, then opens it.

    How else should it even be possible? Obviously every browser needs to download it and 100 % too.

    Yeah smarty pants obviously it has to download the data, but by default it shouldnt permanently store it as a file in your download folder. Files like this should go into a tmp file or only into RAM.

    I'd check if I was you. I think both Chrome and Firefox keep it in downloads folder

    It has to download any content it shows you, whether that's a web page, pdf, or anything else. It can't just magically know what to display without downloading it. Whether it stores it permanently is another question. Most browsers don't do this. If yours does there's probably a setting for that, or it's just a really bad browser.

    This doesn't answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?

    I wouldn't want to hunt anymore either if I survived the brutality of male lion adolescence

    emasculating men via lion cub sexual dimorphism or decatulating male lion cubs via meme men for science is what we call a weird hobby
