News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

  • In case anyone was questioning the full joke here: Apparently Platypuses fur glows blue under UV light.

    So no, it doesn't have anything to do with him being covered in sperm.

    while platypuses do have fluorescent fur, it is distributed more evenly around their coat and not nearly as splotchy as our friend is here

    that guy is totally covered in cum/piss/blood

    what does blue mean?

    In case this is a serious question anybody's wondering, a blacklight shines in ultraviolet, which gets reduced by various substances (Namely phosphors) and re-emitted as blue. Blood and urine contain phosphors, possibly also sperm, given many medias show blacklight being used to track sex as well; in the case of platypi, it's possible that their sweat or natural oils also contain phosphors or something else that catches the ultraviolet and redirects it as blue.

    The more you know. Thanks for this insight.

  • Nor was the platypus the first mammal found to glow in black light. The Humbolt's flying squirrel of North America (and subsequently, the other two North American flying squirrels) were found to have this trait. A few mammals have since been discovered to share this ability, including the springhare of Africa.

    Why is no one else concerned that they didn't change the sheets?

    That's actually normal for a lot of motels... google it, the research is disgusting.

    Well their first mistake was assuming that there is a function and it’s not just a consequence of some natural trait! Science isn't about why! It’s about why not!
