It seems my 'charming animals with chins' post didn't impress anyone.

It made me laugh.

LOL!

I just had to share this obviously AI-written article about animals with chins!

Apparently chin bones are unique to humans. But this article claims there are many charming animals with chins!

I'm sharing an archived copy because I don't want any traffic going to garbage sites.

highlights include:

"Charming dogs, cats, rabbits, and even raccoons get their place on this list of adorable animals with chins."

"A chimp’s chin is not as pronounced as a human‘s, but it does protrude slightly and is hairless." -- written below a photo of a chimp with a clearly hairy chin.

"All pangolins have chins, which help them dig for food."

China cutting off rare-earth exports to Japan over the Taiwan issue will have a limited impact because Japan and other countries have diversified supplies and taken steps to weaken Beijing’s long-term leverage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/11/japan/china-rare-earths-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #chins #chinajapanrelations #sanaetakaichi #taiwan #defense #rareearths #trade
China is overplaying its rare-earth hand in Japan

While China produces about 80% of the world’s neodymium magnets, Japan on its own manufactures about half of the remainder.

In einer Zeit, in der #Russland Krieg führt, die #USA im Handelskrieg mit #Chins sind, und demnächst von einem faschistischen #Trump regiert werden, in der amerikanische Unterstützung unsicher ist, das #Klima kaputt geht - in dieser Zeit zerfällt #Europa, weil die Rechten dumm sind? Traurig traurig
