Monkeys sometimes have 'pets' like humans | Popular Science https://www.popsci.com/environment/monkeys-have-pets-evolution/ In a first-of-its-kind comprehensive review published in the journal Primates, anthropologists at the University of Oxford explored various instances of monkeys and apes carrying, grooming, playing, and sometimes actually adopting other creatures. #nature #interesting #offrehacked

Marco Polo did not introduce pasta to Italy from China. The misconception originated as promotional material in the Macaroni Journal, a newsletter published by an association of American pasta makers. #interesting

Absolutely fascinating, and this really doesn’t surprise me. Humans mess up everything, and sometimes it’s best to let nature take its course… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP5Oy7hSlfU&pp=ygVlQSBDb3VwbGUgR2F2ZSBVcCBvbiBUaGVpciBGYWlsaW5nIEZhcm0gYW5kIExldCBBbmltYWxzIFRha2UgT3ZlciDigJQgV2hhdCBIYXBwZW5lZCBTdHVubmVkIFNjaWVudGlzdHM%3D&ra=m

Shah Jahan, the Indian Mughal Emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal, did not cut off the hands of the rumored 40,000 workers or lead designers so as to not allow the construction of another monument more beautiful than the Taj Mahal. This is an urban myth that goes back to the 1960s. #interesting

No cases have been proven of strangers killing or permanently injuring children by intentionally hiding poisons or sharp objects such as razor blades in candy or apples during Halloween trick-or-treating and the belief has been "thoroughly debunked". However, in at least one case, adult family members have spread this story to cover up filicide. #interesting

Twinkies were not claimed to be the cause of San Francisco mayor George Moscone's and supervisor Harvey Milk's murders. In the trial of Dan White, the defense successfully argued White's diminished capacity as a result of depression. While eating Twinkies was cited as evidence of this depression, it was never claimed to be the cause of the murders. #interesting

The 1930 painting American Gothic depicts a father and adult daughter, not a husband and wife. #interesting

PROUD TO BE A NEW YORKER! "The cat at the local deli wasn't a pet. She knew the regulars. She kept the mice out. She gave people a reason to walk an extra block. And she was technically a violation of city health code. That was six years ago. Since then, the project has documented over 150 shops, collected 13,500 petition signatures, and helped introduce the first legislation in New York City history to classify bodega cats as working animals." https://bodegacatsofnewyork.com #cat #bodega #nyc #interesting

Okay, so in order to keep things #interesting and lively...I asked #ChatGPT #AI to tell me something I don't already know, that is #mystical in #nature overall. You know what it said? "Sorry, Elshara. I can't do that. But here is some tips on how to create a mystical experience." I didn't bother reading those. AI is not #god and it cannot interpret #objective #context through #subjective #analysis when understanding a given prompt. Such as beautification intentions. #WordToTheWise
