Carthag Tuek posted:go for it bird Hokkaido Anxiety posted:Seconding Item A: the Taylor Swift song "The Man", wherein she alleges were she a man, her lifestyle would make people think of her as the man, instead of earning her the criticism that it currently does, as a woman Item B: the Billie Eilish song "Therefore I Am", the chorus of which goes:
Or anything, drat You think that you're the man I think, therefore, I am Tenuous, you say? It is indeed. But here are the full lyrics of the Eilish song, which pertain to the following items. And also frankly just in general sound like they're about some other famous person and not an old pal from high school. I mean, I say old, but I guess that was probably like last year for Billie. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/billieeilish/thereforeiam.html Anyway, Item C is the whole general set of lyrics in combination with the time a couple years ago Taylor did something weird or another and deleted her whole Instagram (Twitter? why do I even remember this) for a while, except a picture of her having a good time with Billie, to change the trending topic to: Are Taylor and Billie Friends??? And then Item D is, specifically, the lyric about how Eilish just acts confused when the track recipient's name is brought up. I googled BILLIE EILISH TAYLOR SWIFT after having this important genius moment and the most recent article is something about Billie Eilish claiming not to know her favorite childhood song was one by Taylor Swift. Things are getting very suspicious, no? Item E is... I forget, I might not have an Item E. This is rather too many words I've written on the subject anyway. I just happened to hear both songs tonight, both for the first time, and something about them clicked in very unexpected way. I hope that all of this has convinced you, and if not, I'm sure Item E would have done the trick had I remembered it. LITERALLY A BIRD has a new favorite as of 04:56 on Jul 31, 2021 |

I learned just now (thanks to a crossword puzzle, as is often the case) that kiwis grow on vines. I never really thought about it but just picture fruits growing on shrubs or trees by default, I just never pictured them growing on a vine like a giant fuzzy grape.

Golden and Labrador Retrievers are two different types of dogs. Deep down I knew this, I could identify them if asked but I'd interchange them in my head until I looked it up.

The reason beavers build dams is because they hate the sound of running water. Studies were done where they played back the sound of running water on a stereo sitting on concrete and beavers built a drat on top of it. Also, if you play back the sound of running water loudly next to quietly running water, beavers will ignore the water and still build on top of the stereo.

It just strikes me as a Reddit-culture kinda thing to take a hypothesis that was tested and say "yeah well duh". I don't really think OP was doing that thing though, so it's just me musing

I've seen so many "but how do beavers know where to build their dams?" before and was stunned that the answer was so simple. True, it wasn't so much "I just figured out" but read it online and went searching to make sure it was actually true. It's just amazing what instincts can do, and how they can be tricked. The Canadian wildlife service is now using speakers playing the sounds of running water to entice beavers to build dams in locations where they will prevent flooding of roads and homes during high rains.
