I doubt I will ever set eyes on a more creative bit of recycling.

I love this farmhouse and every time I walk past it I start inventing stories about it. My favourite one is where a total of four animals live on the farm but have all fallen out in extremely acrimonious circumstances so now each have their own separate garden.

One of the funnier things I was surprised to learn is that muskox are not bison sized, but are instead just little guys.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.

The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

Four sets of stepping stones safely negotiated during one walk:
1. "Piece of piss. I could dance across these."
2. "Keep your mind firmly on the job."
3. "Strong possibly of being washed violently into a haunted cavern downstream."
4. "How am I even still alive after this?"

Always funny to come across a description of a type of person you had assumed is more of a recent thing only to realize the archetype has been present for a long time

Would like to suggest a slight tweak to the settings on here

Came across a fun bit of marginalia from Darwin’s personal library:

In a copy of “Principles of Geology”, Lyell argues that animal varieties can change over time, but never deviate enough to form new species.

“If this were true,” Darwin scrawls in the margin, “adios theory”.

The best places to learn about Tolkien’s conlangs are scrungly websites with bad formatting created in 2004 and never updated since.

this will be no problem for me as i only watch TikTok videos on instagram three weeks after they’ve already gone viral, like an adult
