Using the refined milk of genetically modified goats to stop warships by tangling up their propellers?
Amazing science.

Reply to TIL that seagulls not only eat other birds and animals, but are cannibals and often eat seagull chicks, even their own. by TrolleyMcTrollerson1
You can keep a gull as a pet, but you don't wanna live with a sea bird, okay? 'Cause the noise level alone of those things... Have you ever heard a gull up close? It's gonna blast your eardrums out, dude!!

Therein lies your problem; neither kindergartens or orphanages are known for their satisfying portion sizes.

Geese will defend even the thought of their unhatched young, from an army of tanks.

>but it still infuriates me when “pie” is used as a synonym for pizza
That's a weird thing to be infuriated by, but I've never seen it used as a direct synonym to pizza, but rather to the amount of pizza - specifically, a whole round pizza. It makes sense, too, to see it as a type of open-faced savory pie. Both tend to be circular dishes with toppings/fillings on a baked crust, and typically served in wedge-shaped portions.

My wife’s grandmother divorced her grandpa because he wanted to leave Harrington Kansas. She ended up dying there in the late 1990s. Imagine never leaving Harrington Kansas.

Reply to TIL Jimmy Carter signed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the single largest expansion of protected lands in history which more than doubled the size of the National Parks System by Guardax
Alaska is a lot of wilderness. Charlotte, North Carolina has more people in it than the entire state of Alaska does (Alaska, which is about half of the size of the continental United States).

Lebanese roots, right. But a taco is far enough away to be considered it’s own cuisine.
