Animal behavior. I never get bored learning about biology and specifically, all the interesting behaviors that animals have learned to reach their goals. Like elaborate mating dances, or long distance communication of whales.
Has it ever happened that you accidentally took some pests (like bed bugs or cockroaches) home in your clothes or bag and infected your own home with it?
Tardigrada, commonly known as Tardigrades or water bears, are the cutest microorganisms that are extreme environment dwellers. These adorable miniature bears have been to outer space, and, despite their squishy appearance, they are resilient enough to survive (and thrive!) for millions of years (preceding the dinosaurs!)....
I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.
I’ve upvoted comments that I disagreed with, but were well written an contributed to a good discussion. I only downvote for very low quality, spam or hateful comments.
If you could only listen to someone talk about one topic for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?
Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Those of you with lesser-known types of jobs...what do you do?

Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
Please don't ask why I need this....
