VikingHippie, in in Western Australia, until 2021, it was illegal to transport more than 50kg of potatoes in your car unless you were a member of the potato corps.

Also, Potato Corps is coming to Netflix this fall!

VikingHippie, in TIL: ferns have sperm that swims

So basically they’re just throwing horny Michael Phelpses (Michaels Phelp?) all around the place? I approve.

I read that as mint Dino, which I think is also applicable

A person made these marks, they all kind of focused towards a center line, overall. Maybe a rock hammer? Is especially obvious on the bottom third of the picture with the arcs in the patterns.

I’m guessing ivy?

Brick worms… You see, #THIS# is why we can’t have nice things!

Almost looks like water damage but that is either a lot of water pressure or a long amount of exposure…

Tokay gecko facts - these are sometimes sold in pet stores in the US, but are definitely not an entry level pet.

They are notoriously temperamental, can run incredibly fast on walls, bark and hiss when irritated, and have a locking mechanism on their jaw that makes it so they won’t let go after biting until they consciously decide to let go. They can be pretty good pets if handled properly, but chances are they were not if you see one in a pet store.

Green_Bay_Guy,

Tokay gecko facts - the tokay and it’s sound are thought to be a good omen of successful business in Vietnam. Apparently they also make good jerky!

My wife taught English in Thailand for a while. She liked hearing these in her room at night because it meant the mosquitoes would be less of a problem, but they could get pretty loud.

They are bred in captivity as pets actually. They’re known for being quite bitey for a gecko though.

    OpenHammer6677,

    In the Philippines we call these types of Gekoes tuko based on the sound.

    Parents would warn their kids to be careful when you hear them because when they fall on you, they’ll latch on to your skin and won’t let go

    I want to believe at least some dinosaurs were also brightly colored like this.

    Really cute compared to the ones I saw in the wild.
