Well now you’ve given me ideas! I hate these things. They’re ok untill suddenly and unexpectedly they’re not!

I just looked it up. We’re freaks with a 6th nail! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_nail_of_the_fifth_toe

Oh I don’t think I’ve seen the large black ones before. I grew up in Poole. Perhaps the black ones are less common here.

Never had this problem. I have that annoying little nail splitting out from my little toe. Gets snagged on socks all the time.

Hey, I’m from Dorset too. I’ve never heard Chiggy wigs before. I wonder if it’s a very regional or age thing. We called them wood lice.

Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!

My knee which feels like it exploded says otherwise.

Probably didn’t have to remove that one.

It can be used by AI age verification tools on a bunch of websites. So yes I guess that is fraud. But these tools claim not to store the data in the verification process. If somebody could prove a made up ID was used then I suspect they’re in bigger shit for a GDPR leak.

It’s not just remote work. All our manufacturing sites use to VPN connections data centres. It would cripple manufacturing on an epic scale if they were instabanned.

If they ban VPN’s that’s going to hit corporations harder than the average person.

Similar to me. I used 3rd party app which was great. The app developer even went to the effort for keep it going with a subscription to keep the app alive. But I refuse to pay an API fee. I left and months later I discovered Lemmy.

I’m nowhere near as active on Lemmy as I was on Reddit but I’m happy with that. I feel I’ve met a healthy middle ground.

The beauty of evolution. If it works, it works. Whatever they have been doing for so long is working.

I never watched it. I remember other kids at school talking about it, but I never watched it. Kind of wished I did now.

I was actually measuring my desk today as I want to fit a draw under it.

This should be the test all millionaires and billionaires have to take yearly. If they fail, they are no longer fit to own or lead a business.

Oh I like that. Until I saw the price.

75% here too. I want a full size back. Tired of having a separate numpad. Waiting till this one gets old then switching back.

Most birds are extremely light and efficient. Their bones have evolved to be light weight to help with this. Some species even fly in a V formation to conserve energy.

Evolution doesn’t mean get better or smarter. It just means the species can survive and keep reproducing. Emperor Penguins in Antarctica for example, where they nest in a place where there are no predators. It seems insane the hardship and their silly walk which takes forever. But it works.

I’ve never heard of a wood louse being called a pill bug before.
