Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. I likes armadillos
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

A lot of people have trouble keeping fiddle-leaf figs alive. If you're one of them, I'm afraid the secret is rainwater. Yes, really. These divas are too fancy for the chlorinated mineralized stuff that comes out of the faucet. I'm very sorry

After years of campaigning, Charlie Craggs finally wins the battle with Unicode who announced they would introduce the trans flag emoji 🏳️⚧️ #OTD.
Charlie's campaign included using the lobster 🦞 as a stand in for the flag because they are gyandropmorphic.

The government's free AI training courses are... exactly what you'd expect really. Check out the whole thread...
Editorial Note: It has taken more than 20 minutes to get this far, including at least one point at which most people would have closed the laptop and gone outside. I'm not suggesting that government infects any IT it touches with incompetence, but I'm not NOT suggesting that either.

Greenland sharks are believed to be the longest-living vertebrates on Earth.
Researchers have determined that one female is around 400 years old.
That means she was alive during the Napoleonic Wars, the Boston Tea Party, Charles Darwin, and ABBA winning Eurovision.
