It is International Women's Day and National Aardvark *Week*, if you're wondering where our priorities lie.
@dan there are lady aardvarks, too
@dan it's not as bad as it sounds if you take population of the planet versus the US into account. aardvarks get 2.4 billion person-celebration-days per year, while women get 8 billion, making women about 327% more celebrated than aardvarks.

@dan although i can see being upset if you are a woman, since your share of the person-celebration-days is a mere 1.94, and that includes themself!

aardvark population estimates are very loose but the lowest estimates put any aardvark's share at a staggering 24,430 person-celebration days, which is more than twice their maximum lifespan, which is definitely excessive.

perhaps the best way to think of it is one small day for a woman, but 22 million years for womankind

@dan in the interests of balancing my earlier IWD toot, a very happy National 🇺🇸 Aardvark Week to all the F-111s out there. #aardvark
