Humans, in one form or another, have been on Earth for maybe 2.5 million years. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away.
Under dark, clear skies, you can see the Andromeda galaxy with your own two eyes. If you do, you’ll be looking at light which has been travelling through space for roughly as long as our genus has existed on this planet.

* They sing to each other in the mornings to get their fam to meet up.
* They're the first known mammal to naturally produce carotenoid pigments, which are usually found in plants.
* Different parts of their body have differently coloured flesh. Eyes and butt are grey, torso is white, pelvis is brown, and wing and uropatagium membranes are black.
* Males of the species have lighter coloured noses; one of the (fairly rare) examples of sexual dimorphism in bats.
* They create tents out of leaves that they roost in. These tents have been found to keep the roost 5°C warmer than if they used unmodified leaves.
* And, finally…

I still wanna get some kitchen shears and some silicone utensils (all I have is metal and wood), but those can wait for another day.
@sc Ah heck, I forgot about that too. At least it’s not hardware or iOS or anything I actually care about much.

@stuart_otterson Actually a real (theoretical) thing, apparently!
“‘Undertale’, but it’s a Bach chorale” is not a phrase I ever expected to read on the Classic FM website, but here we are.
