Fun fact: bunnies can sleep with their eyes wide open, they evolved this trait so they can keep a lookout for predators even while sleeping.
And if you move a shadow over them while they're sleeping like this they usually wake up right away.
I know this because I love bunnies and the ones I had slept like this ALL the time, they'd even do it laying down which was very scary for me cause I'd check on them thinking they had a heart attack or something but were really just sleeping like weirdos.

okay thx
Plastromancy is a form of [generally Chinese] divination based on interpreting the cracks formed on the plastron from a turtle when heated
minecraft used to be called cave game
Apparently, it was never officially called that.
It was officially titled (by Notch) as "Cave game tech test/Cave game tech demo"

the game in launcher, says cave game, so techniqually all are right
ok cool
Fun fact: Hatsune Miku created Minecraft by accident when she tripped over the aux cord.
This event would spark a chain reaction into the future, kick-starting the legacy of this small little block game we know today.
Aww, Miku is so talented! <3
(yes i know im supposed to be studying magic rock, shhh im not even here)

when you want to feed a duck, you need to provide them water, Avoid bread, instead use grass, grains or dandelion leaves
And sometimes, you have to give them some gravel, because of digestion issues(the stones grind the food)

Why not peas?
Also cant they just go back and drink the water if they feel thirsty/need to swallow properly (assuming theyre next to or on water)

peas should be okay, but without the salt to avoid angel wing deformation
Slugs are also fine

Wikipedia states that Angel Wing does not appear from excess salts, but excess carbohydrates (which you've implied with the bread), protein and a defiency of calcium/manganese/vitamin E.
Where did you find that salts are one of the main causes of angel wing?

I heard something that salt is bad for the birds
I can see it happening from salt overdose (hypernatremia)
Did you know that there is a type of bacteria that can “eat” metal and conduct electricity like a wire? The bacterium Geobacter can use iron, uranium, and other metals as an energy source and even transmit electric currents through its microscopic “wires” Scientists are now exploring how this bacterium could help with biotechnology, such as sustainable energy storage and cleaning up polluted soil!
did you know :
that if you fill your butt with helium and superglue your cheeks shut, you will not float up into space like a cool human balloon. you will just vomit and pass out, then wake up in the hospital after they popped your nuce open with a super-cheek-spreader.

When you ask AI for fun facts
did you know
- Polonium (Po):A highly radioactive metal, polonium is extremely toxic and can cause death through radiation poisoning. It is also chemically toxic and releases alpha particles.
- Plutonium (Pu):Another highly radioactive element, plutonium is a powerful emitter of alpha particles and deadly if inhaled.
- Polonium (Po):A highly radioactive metal, polonium is extremely toxic and can cause death through radiation poisoning. It is also chemically toxic and releases alpha particles.
- Mercury (Hg):A heavy metal, mercury can cause numerous illnesses and even death, especially when inhaled as a vapor.
- Arsenic (As):Arsenic is a toxic metal that can disrupt ATP production, leading to nausea, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, and even death.
- Radon (Rn):A radioactive gas, radon is a carcinogen and a significant health hazard.
- Fluorine (F):A highly reactive gas, fluorine is extremely toxic and irritating, and inhaling a large amount can be fatal.
- Chlorine (Cl):A toxic gas, chlorine is used in some industrial processes and can cause severe respiratory problems.
- Lead (Pb):A heavy metal, lead is a cumulative toxicant that can damage the nervous system, kidneys, and other organs.
- Thallium (Tl):A highly toxic metal, thallium is a cumulative poison that can cause death
More fun facts
- Polonium has been used to assassinate someone recently (made headlines around the world nearly a decade ago)
- Elemental mercury is not super dangerous unless unless u inhale a lot (it was even used as medicine and laxatives for centuries).
However organic mercury compounds such as dimethylmercury are up to thousands of times more potent than the metal liquid you and I know;
2 drops on a latex glove was enough to kill a prominent scientist who was studying it (yes, the liquid skipped through the latex). On autopsy, they were found with many hundreds of times the lethal dose of mercury for a human. - Arsenic is still used today, mainly in electronics such as car batteries and semi conductors (dont eat your devices)
- Hydrofluoric acid (HF), is able to melt through your bones. If you spill it on your skin, say goodbye to the bones in that area essentially.
- Chlorine gas was used to massacre soldiers in WW1 by both sides. Also makes the harmless table salt when combined with sodium.
- Every single metal you have mentioned is essentially lead. They are all considered heavy metals and cause heavy metal poisoning with the symptoms you've mentioned. Sadly still extremely common especially in undeveloped countries or waterways near factories (this is why environmental regulations exist)
- Polonium was named after the country of Maria Skłodowska-Curie(reminder that she used a double name). If you struggle with the pronounciation: Skwodovska
- Radium is strongly radioactive. It is accepted as calcium, replacing it and causing your bones to weaken and even disappear. One guy who overused the "medicine" for his pain issues had to be burried in a lead coffin. His jaw literrally dropped.
- Phosphoric acid can melt your teeth. Bacterias in your mouth can resolve sugar to the acid, that is why it is important to take care of your diet. Coke as I far know, uses the acid

Nothing special about Coke, most soda/pop/carbonated fizzy sugar water drinks use a phosphate buffer system (e.g. one based on Phosphoric acid {H₃PO₄} ) to help hold carbonation after opening.
Natural carbonation (what happens if one makes one's own [root] beer, gingerale, etc. ) is based on a Carbonic acid {H₂CO₃} buffer system which is basically Carbon Dioxide {CO₂} dissolved in water. [This also happens with the Phosphoric acid systems with the phosphoric acid acting to shift the equilibrium point of the system].
Guinness (for those past a certain age) is a special case as it add Nitrogen {N₂} under pressure to the natural carbonation giving the beverage it's distinctive head.

Hydrofluoric acid {HF} will also attack silicates and can be used to etch glass [not to be tried other than under lab conditions and by someone propoerly trained and equiped].
Commercially available etching creams contain bifloride compounds and a different acid (typically Sulfiric H₂SO₄) which accomplish the etching by producing very small amounts HF under controlled conditions.

- The largest litter of kittens in one take is about 19
- There is a chance that one litter can consist of one sex kittens - only girls or boys
- Cats can have from 1 to 5 socks. The fifth sock is the tail end
- There is a chance that the kittens in the same litter will have different eyes(I have one, where 3 have yellow and one has green)

Is this a fur pattern or physical knitted/manufactured socks?
fur pattern. Cats are more classy than we
damn searching on google brings up nothing but knitted cat socks.
The 5th sock always at the tail end sounds too unnatural and would prob be interesting enough for someone to get a biology phd with (through a thesis)

Couldn't find anything either WRT the color differentiation mechanism (which is surprising since one would think it had been studied…)
My first guess was somthing similar to the Siamese color change with temperature effect, but I found nothing 🤔

I got a cat, who has a white tail end too
Mine is black btw
