I vaguely remember hearing about an artist who, I think this was about 15 years, scavenged a bunch of the oldest camera phones they could find (i.e., flip and candy bar phones) and, because no one ever resets their electronics, pulled all the photos they held. I didn’t actually see how they displayed the pics (giant collage? coffee table book?), but I thought it sounded interesting from historical perspective. I’ll bet it’s a lot like nowadays except for the quantity since those phones predated constant cloud-connections. That is to say, mostly kids, SOs, and cats.

And yet, when the resident with the highest rate of correctly identifying impostors insists that the head psychiatrist is a reptoid, he is pooh-poohed.
There’s also a difference between not knowing the difference and always getting them mixed up. The diagram doesn’t help with the stated problem. Also, it doesn’t address the question.
As another example, the Cuyahoga River famously caught fire in 1969. That isn’t technically the 70s, but I wouldn’t have gone near it anytime during that decade.
Got it. The Easter Bunny is an immigrant, over 1,500 years old, and has at least one ovipositor. Let me restate the remaining question: Why does it lay/bring Celtic fertility symbols?? I learn so much here.
Not too mention the implication that lemurs know what malaria is. What else have these scientists been hiding from us???

1·3 months agoMe neither. I read a couple of descriptions of striped cuckoos. None mentioned this tidbit and that made me suspicious.
On the other hand, I did find this: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/science-news/cuckoo-chicks-earn-their-keep
It includes a picture of a nest with a cuckoo chick and, although it doesn’t look like a pine cone, you can easily make out the speckled feathers. Also, the article is interesting in asserting that the cuckoos’ parasitism isn’t all bad.

Mrs Thompson?!? Good Lord, it’s like I’m flashing back to fifth grade!
