Ok this is cheating because I've known this for decades but thought some of you might not know. Rabbits cannot vomit and they need to eat their own poo in order to absorb any valuable nutrition that may have been missed during first digestion. Their teeth and tooth roots never stop growing so they need to constantly gnaw hay, grass and leafy greens. They are not ideal pets for children contrary to popular belief, they cannot retract their claws and ma y do the like being handled. I also think they can be more expensive and difficult to look after than dogs.

Growing up I had a menagerie of animals and I can confirm rabbits are the asshole of the childhood pet option. Lovely, but absolute nightmares.

Mr Minky's swim was cancelled today because 'some kid shat in the pool'

So today I learned it's not just a case of fishing the shit out and everyone goes on their merry, shit free, way. There are chemicals and lots of health and safety rules to follow never really thought about it before but there you are.

I got a juicy stolen paving stones case when I did jury duty. Be careful what you wish for guys….

I've done it twice. Both times paedophile rape cases. I'd have preferred stolen paving stone cases over those let me tell you.

Even some developing nations have better labour rights (holidays, minimum wage etc) than USA

"How many days of US paid holiday are American
workers entitled to?

US workers are not legally entitled to any paid holiday at all.

However, in reality, most US employers offer paid vacation time to their workers. The number of days varies from employer to employer, but on average, US workers receive around ten days of paid holiday each year.

I have a friend in the US, he's a school psychiatrist in Iowa and he gets 6 days holiday a year!
It's terrible!

... that Maid Marion and her Merry Men is a) having a come back and b) was written by Tony Robinson.

I've never been keen on him and had no idea it was written by him but it was so good (from what young me remembers). Like an 80's/90's Horrible Histories.

I'm now going to have the theme tune in my head for days.

Why don't you carr-ry on, with-a what you're - doooing, making he-eros, out of Merry Men

Today I learned my husband has spent over £350 on Onlyfans over the last year! What do I do with this information?!?!?!

Not a biggie about the porn IMO, but rather that he wasn’t open about it.

Bone marrow or stem cell transplants (treatments for cancers like lymphoma or leukaemia) can turn humans into chimeras - meaning they 2 sets of DNA. If you tested the recipients blood, it would have the DNA of their donor, whereas something like a cheek swab would have the persons own original DNA. It can also change a persons blood type to a different one than they had previously.
