Reasons I think we shouldn’t help baby animals 😁. By 'helping' wild animals, you could end their freedom or even their lives – here's why you should keep your distance theconversation.com/by-helping-wil… via The Conversation U.S.

As payment for cleaning out the VERY expired pickles, almond milk, V8, and other items from the shared work fridge, I will be drinking the few cans of slightly expired soda. That's fair, right? (How expired is too expired for soda? What about capri sun?)

I often put on music on youtube while I work, including when I'm not directly at my computer. That means I can't always easily skip ads. This ad was AT LEAST 32 MIN LONG! Yes those are minutes--it took me several to press skip. WTF And it was only the first ad??

Do you know why giraffes have such long necks? There have been many theories, and a team led by #PennState biologists found that female giraffes have proportionally longer necks than males. Read the full story at buff.ly/3yUNf3R
