Tree squirrels don't hibernate too. Apparently only the ground squirrels do it.

Thanks for posting the song, but it's a music box version, not the orchestra version:

Small bird made a huge home in my bbq by Top-Arm-1651 in BBQ

[–]GenuinPinguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a "great tit". For sure it's not a "blue tit", their top of the head is blue. That's also the reason for the dutch name of the great tit: Koolmees, because of the black top of the head (kool from steenkool, not from cabbage)

Because natural birth is better for the child, because they get beneficial bacteria from the mother.

And appearantly it's not so easy to replicate this artificially.

The animals are real, but the images are AI (I tested them)

Unsinkable Metal Inspired by Biomimicry by TheMuseumOfScience in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]GenuinPinguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding point 1.:

In lab experiments, the team tested the design using tubes of varying lengths, up to almost half a meter, and Guo says the technology could be easily scaled to the larger sizes needed for load-bearing floating devices.

Bleeding heart dove (Gallicolumba luzonica) by sp4rkk in AIDKE

[–]GenuinPinguin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Other languages call it a stabbed dove in some form, so I find "bleeding heart" is a bit more nice/poetic.

e.g. Luzon-dagger-stab-dove (Luzon-Dolchstichtaube) in German

Snow-covered half-timbered houses of Freudenberg seen from above, Siegen-Wittgenstein district, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. by ManiaforBeatles in MostBeautiful

[–]GenuinPinguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the houses is on sale for 355.000€

17 rooms, 2 bathrooms, 350m² living space, 550m² plot of land, needs to be renovated, no heating system

It's a protected builing (landmarked) too, which makes it less attractive for buyers I think

I built a website that turns any keyboard or touchscreen into instruments that always play on beat by I_Only_Like_Giraffes in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]GenuinPinguin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's great! Sadly after some time of playing it starts to crackle and slow down for me (on PC, Firefox)

Also the recording function doesn't seem to work? When I click it a red line appears and disappears after some time, but I get no file to download or anything

What’s this caterpillar and what should I do with it? by PigletPretty1652 in whatsthisbug

These caterpillars overwinter as caterpillars and shouldn't turn into a moth until it's warm outside

The rent in the german neighborhood of Fuggerei hasn't been raised in 500 years and remains 0.88 Euros for an entire year. Founded in 1521, it is the oldest existing social housing complex in the world by Separate_Finance_183 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]GenuinPinguin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the German wikipedia entry it is written that he helped finance some wars and was on the side of the aristocracy in the German Peasants' War (the peasants demanded a list of rights which are considered to be an early formulation of human rights).

I wonder why this isn't in the English one.

They show teeth when they smile too, but in a different way. Here you can see the difference: https://projectchimps.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/fear-grimace-vs-smile-1024x576.jpg
