Awww, the wolf pup is so cute

I think this works on my cat too :)

I wish this existed here in Canada. I live in an 1892 Victorian in a neighbourhood with condo towers popping up like toadstools.

How does the smoke get out?

No wonder the fückers can do this every day!

TIL bees have bouncers

And they look fabulous!

In ancient Dutch better circles, a platter with pepper seeds was presented during and after meals. Look out for it whenever you come across a painting of a feast

„The sundial displays time (with actual digits !!) from 10:00 until 16:00, updating every 20 minutes. You can precisely adjust the displayed time simply by rotating the gnomon (the magic box that displays time). So you can even adjust for Daylight Saving Time.“

So I guess the first candle has a snooze alarm.

The double rainbow shown at the end of the Bluey episode "Rain" did not have the colours in the secondary bow reversed. This annoyed me an inordinate amount.

So beautiful!!!!

Just to drive David Mitchell crazy.

Sinking ice???

Bees are awesome!

Beavers have iron in their tooth enamel. It's why they're orange.

There were plenty of crows where I lived in the mountains and plenty where I'm now living in a rural lake town, so not urban.

They eggs also get stuck to waterfowl feet and beaks

Kit Kat is a cannibal.

While an interesting read, this one sounds more like an interesting coincidence that you could think of in that way. The 52 card French pack is not the "original" deck of cards, it is one of many variations which were in use, and just become the most common.

Water shall never ever be poured into my ear

Pandas, if a plant of mine turned bright red what does it mean?

Hello, all of my blue-eyed Panda cousins!

Not me, I love hotel beds. They are just so damn comfortable to me.

Or... Get stung by a bee if you get stung by a wasp and vice versa

Yep, my 18yo cat and my 81yo father have a lot in common these days... 🤭

I see humans haven’t evolved that trait. Would save a fortune in sunscreen.

And be careful with your skin, people. I had to have a melanoma removed. Thankfully, it was still contained in one place, but someone I know is in hospital with a nasty form of bone cancer, from à melanoma that went ignored long enough to send métastases else where. Have à dermatologist look you over every year, so anything that doesn't look right can be dealt with in time.

I swear my parrot has studied the ear charts to work out just where to nip.

By this definition, New Zealand, the last visible part of Zealandia, is also a continent. But Europe and Asia are not. 600px-Zeal...907ade.jpg

whether the peak is a solid gold.. or granite that coated with gold or else.. is just some speculation.. There are no fact supporting any theory

And I thought the answer to life, the universe and everything was 42

This is how we know there is a god, and that she loves us.

Among many North American tribes (speaking as a Shawnee descendant) it's a centuries old practice to wear silver near the joints and the openings of the face in order to ward off the spirits that cause sickness. It was really a form of understanding germ theory.

Plus, around the UK at least, it's full of sewage!

Having a fan lightly blowing across your bed at night can help reduce mosquito bites, by dispersing the CO2 you exhale and making it harder for them to find you.

There are walking dunes - dunes that are a unit, the sand from one side of the dune is lifted into the air and the sand falls creating the leading edge; it requires a steady wind blowing in one direction. Called walking dunes

It saved enough steel to build an entire battleship.

VEGETABKLES. SANDWITCHES 😂

Forgot podiatrist - Foot doctor

I spent far too long wondering what blood pressure d i c k s were!

Ohh, that might explain things...

And here I am, stressed, anxious, and allergic to hot peppers.

See that dark dpot in center of the skiced garlic ? Remove it for a different taste.

This is a picture of genetic mosaicism.

It took two years in the 50s when it first came out, supercomputers were used decades later to optimize things (jeez, why do I care?)

I think the lagoon one is wrong.

Tell that to my racing heart, jittery body, and hyper activity.

It's awful what the meat industry does to animals . . .

Only works for very few countries .country

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew

It doesn't include pillow cases. I wash mine at least once a week because it's hygienic and nicer to rest on clean and sweet smelling pillows.

Si, when do you add it? 15 minutes into the process??? Anyone??

OK, now say this really fast a couple of times

So candles are not vegan.
