Google started masking shared links from its Android app, hiding the actual URL and adding extra tracking.

How to disable:
1. Open the Google app
2. Profile → Settings → Other settings
3. Turn off "Shorten links to web pages"

Green Day “demastered” their 1994 album Dookie into 15 “obscure, obsolete, and inconvenient” formats, like wax cylinder, Fisher Price record, Teddy Ruxpin, and player piano roll. This is amazing. https://www.dookiedemastered.com/

Penguins produce an oil that helps their feathers retain heat. That means…

The oily bird gets the warm.

[1/x] Because I'm an enormous #RoadSign nerd, today we're going to take a magical tour of a selection of signs in use in Europe to warn road users about domesticated animals in and around the carriageway. This most commonly takes the form of a black cow symbol inside a red triangle.

We're starting in the UK, with a very decent example. Nice sweep on the horns, a good swishy tail, and a very planted feeling that suggests you'll have a bad day if you choose to mess with her. You can also see her in fellow left-hand traffic country Cyprus, where she is presumably enjoying somewhat nicer weather. Score: 7/10
