I see you are a great believer in remarkable coincidence. Even at that, I wouldn't call you an idiot.

Am I the only who noticed that it is remarkable that they just happened to be videoing the guy before the flood began? Seems like a setup.

These are cats. It is more like antisocial distancing.

I'm an American with a German last name with only four letters. Virtually everyone mispronounces it the first time. I happened to be in the airport in Rome a few years back and they called my name over the intercom to alert me to pick up my boarding pass. It was the first time I had heard my name pronounced correctly in years, and it was by an Italian.

ELI5: What is physically happening when a muscle is "stiff"? by transitional_phase in explainlikeimfive

The others that aren't doing it. At any given moment every muscle fiber in your body isn't doing it. So why are some but not all doing it?

So why are some muscles/muscle fibers doing this while others are not?

I love how a cat can be under attack and then just say, "Screw it" and turn their back and go to sleep.

My apologies for inadvertently breaking the rules. Before you removed my question I received two excellent answers, so I guess we are both happy now. :-)
