Wikipedia says that they “lack short wavelength sensitive visual pigments in their cone cells”, so they don’t see blue as well as we do… Which isn’t surprising really.

They could stack rocks to create a mosaic.
Or maybe just an om. Unless you fill it with cheese and pineapple, then it’s an om-nom-nom.
Go on then, I’m all ears.
Groke - An old Scots word that refers to someone who stares at you while you eat, in the hope that you’ll share your meal with them.

I’ve discovered that I’m good at herding flies.
I start by turning off lights sources including the TV, and closing all the doors and curtains except for one open window which is now the brightest, and therefore most attractive destination for the fly.
Then I just stand so that the fly is between me and the window. I wave my arms out sideways, kind of like semaphore, and it discourages the fly from flying towards my body and my hands, and can only avoid me by flying in the direction of the window.
It doesn’t work at night since turning the lights off means I can’t see the fly, and with the light on, it just flies to the light, lol.
They also don’t like wind, so if there is a breeze outside, I make a stronger breeze inside by swinging a towel like a helicopter blade, and it makes the entire room very undesirable for the fly.
When I was a kid I would just wait until the fly was bouncing itself against the window, and just catch it in my hand, then throw it out and open window.
It also helps if you keep your house free of stale or rotting food smells.
This skill has dramatically reduced the number of flies I’ve killed by swatting.

I like how the Arabic word for ape is the same word that they use for monkey, but the artist cleverly drew one with a tail, and one without.
Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
Thank you for sharing.
Those times when I’ve achieved runners high it was when I pushed myself to carry a heavier load, and walk faster. Never during endurance training.
I would feel my legs burn and there’s a temptation to slow down, but that was the signal to forge on commit to walking faster.
At the time I had a very specific motivation for walking, and I wish I hadn’t stopped walking when that motivation was gone. It’s hard to start up again.
Did their digestive system get rooted?
