The wild ones are just as rotund and loveable, it’s worth the disease you get from interactions with them

Reply to comment by nrkbarnetv in TIL Early Superman comics taught kids how to achieve super-strength through exercises in lifting armchairs, getting a super-grip, and achieving super-vision by glancing at distant and near objects repeatedly by Ok_Copy5217
Amazing, you sourced three articles that all provided 0 links to studies, and all of which admitted that the best they have is “well maybe environment contributes” but they all admit that genetics is the only known issue.
Come back when you have an actual study, buddy. Until then, I’ll trust the actual medical school.

Wouldn't you need to record your own version of the music though? Like the original sheet music might be public domain but that doesn't mean the recorded version released by the orchestra is.

It’s a reference to Zeus’s punishment of Prometheus, who was chained to a rock and had an eagle eat his liver every day (which healed overnight).

Speak for yourself. Too many holes chewed in things and bird seed spread around that is not being eaten by birds. Squirrels can just go see you instead.

Oh geez the wiki, “Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey.” Here I thought they just ate chips and ate crabs they dropped on rocks.
