Intersting information about elephant testes but this still doesn't explain why their penises are on the front of their bodies.

Today I learned that human fingers don't have muscles in them. (They're operated by tendons linked to muscles in your hand.)

I had the solstice thing explained further that day since people were celebrating solstice at Rough Trade East.Seems to be sun looks like it rises and sets at the same point. I haven't seen it myself so can't see if it's true or not.Think I tend to be moving around town or something so don't have similar points of reference and tend to miss rise and set anyway.

but seriously, the days of people finding their feet in the arts by signing on for 18 months or whatever are totally gone now, it is easy to see how only those with means and connections can ahead these days.

does any of this change when it turns out that Andrew Weatherall went from being a brickie to remixing Primal Scream, and that Ross From Friends is not his son?

The bumps on the bottom of salt and pepper shakers. (Video on facebook, not sure how to link it)

oh well, c&p maybe.https://www.facebook.com/coplinsara/videos/2416120848459351/
too risky; didn't c&p: To aid in making the pepper come out of the holes in the top, the salt shaker bottom is rubbed around the pepper shaker bottom in a circular motion, and the bumps on each cause a vibration that aids the pepper flow.

for when you need a full tablespoon of finely ground black pepper on your diner omelette?

it is a pretty strong fuckin pepper to be fair! two decades' worth of mellowed/cooked-down habanero sauce has obscured this relatively non-negotiable fact of life

Well that one’s news to me but considering how we pronounce it and what we call the city I think I can be forgiven for not being too quick on the draw.

I learned today that in some countries some nappy brands make different nappies for boys and girls
― kinder, Tuesday, 1 January 2019 21:27 (five years ago) link
Hate to be the one to tell you this but. Boys and girls are built differently, especially around the nappy region. The difference is salient. I speak from 11+ years of experience changing both sorts.
I don't love the trucks vs. princesses or Hulk vs. Barbie stuff, but I think it's reasonable to acknowledge that boy pee and girl pee go in different directions.
― I was working as a waitress in an oxygen bar (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 1 January 2019 21:50 (five years ago) link
I've had two babies and I don't think I've ever seen separate nappies for sale! I mean, it makes sense. If I was doing reusables I'd pad them out differently. I suddenly panicked and wondered if I should've been paying attention to whether the baby on the packaging picture was a boy or girl.
― kinder, Tuesday, 1 January 2019 22:58 (five years ago) link
They had separately gendered nappies available when my kids needed them, over 20 years ago.
