  • This is actually only part true. During the night, as the temperature in their environment drops, most species leave their den or web and seek out the mouth of any nearby sleeping mammals to sleep in, as it will help retain heat. In tests, it has been observed that up to thousands or tens of thousands of spiders will travel up to 10 miles to willingly climb into the open mouth of a sleeping human.

  • Actually unpopular opinion: it's a better experience when you can see vote counts. Not only that, but when you are able to see exactly who is upvoting and downvoting because then you can vet for bad faith actors fucking with the vote counts - which is particularly useful when looking at political content.

    edit: obscuring vote counts on the Fediverse reminds me a lot of when Reddit initially started to "fuzz" their vote counts sometime around 2016 (maybe even earlier). The decision was made with the somewhat ambiguous explanation of "it will help combat spam" but it was just one of many small choices they made that started their downward slide. Similarly, in the Fediverse, obscuring votes and vote counts is probably made with good intentions, but I only see it as the start of a bad thing.

  • Really glad I held off on Frieren until last week. I would've died waiting for each new episode.

    I have different tastes than the typical shounen-leaning demographic that serms to be the majority on MAL, so for me Frieren isn't the greatest thing ever. BUT it still is extremely good. Maybe top 20, top 15 for me.

  • I Googled Shark Bites and got this super duper amazingly helpful answer:

    Are shark bites still around? There were 69 unprovoked shark attacks in 2023, higher than the five-year average of 63 attacks per year, according to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File. Ten of the attacks in 2023 proved fatal, up from five the year before, researchers said.

    Thanks, Google.
