It's becoming more and more apparent that our hedgehogs didn't get the memo about them being meant to eat slugs

lil tiny hedgehog has joined in!

hedgie!

you wouldn't believe I clean out the cafe every day looking at it after some hedgies come by

I've been wondering, all these products sold with big "Proudly made in <country you live in>" labels, does anyone else avoid those as much as possible?

I know what the average Brit is like and fuck off do I expect them to make anything that actually works

I have just discovered what a "venmo" is

A way to pay people combined with a... social network?

What the fuck is wrong with silicon valley

NIST runs three radio stations, WWV, WWVH, and WWVB

You've probably not heard of them, but you could well have used them before

They broadcast a time signal to the vast majority of North America, this time signal allows clocks, watches, and all kinds of other things to synchronise with an accurate time

Due to budget cuts they're planning to shut these down in 2019, meaning anything that uses the system won't be getting an accurate time any more and will need to be set manually

Which sucks

WOO! WE WIN!

I think somebody who's a far better writer than I should put together a collection of fediverse lore

Like the hiveway saga, and william shatner not being able to find you here

Preferably in an old norse poetry style

Oh hey! Is this Hiveway 2.0?

That'll work much better than last time I'm sure

@noelle HAPPY BIRFDAY!

Me mentioning fish and chip shops just then got me thinking about the finest piece of cuisine Scotland has ever produced

The Munchy Box

business idea: fish and chips shop

Sells battered fish and integrated circuits

"Hedgehogs will forage for food and only eat the stuff you put down if there isn't anything else" ~ some hedgehog "expert"

Nope, I just watched one run over the top of a slug (part of their usual diet) to get at the biscuits I put there for them

Rare STI which causes genitals to erupt into flesh eating ulcers diagnosed in Southport

https://www.lep.co.uk/news/health/rare-sti-which-causes-genitals-to-erupt-into-flesh-eating-ulcers-diagnosed-in-southport-1-9313588

Of course it's bloody Southport

Furthermore, 15-, 30-, and 45-minute time zones are silly and should not be used

Thus continued the octopus

On the internet all times shall be given in UTC to avoid everyone having to ask "what timezone"?

Thus spake the octopus

After some experimentation, here's what flavours of cat food hedgehogs like and don't like to nom on (sample size 4(?)):

Like:
Chicken
Lamb

Don't like:
Beef

They'll eat some of the beef, but certainly not with as much gusto as the chicken and lamb

Yeah, I know viking helmets with horns are "historically inaccurate" and there's "absolutely no evidence of them in the era" but you can't tell me that no scandinavian got drunk one night and decided to stick some horns on a hat

That's bound to have happened

thanks gmail for updating the UI, I hate it
