    I learned that hummingbirds are native to North America and they don’t have them in Europe. That made me sad for all of them over there.

    Wait, did Iceland actually fall for our prank? They believe snakes exist! Next they’ll start believing in Australia!

          This is a joke but blind people have special braille keyboards to read the net. Someone could probably cook up some software ai to scan/identify images including text. Flat braille would just become readable braille

    Come to Florida and I will show you beautiful things!

    Meanwhile, you live in the land of the most beautiful homo sapiens on Earth. So you got that going for you.

    Trade experiences and learn?

      (Pssst… don’t go to Florida. It’s almost certainly a trap)

      Iguanas! Which are invasive. Anoles! Which are invasive. Cuban tree frogs! Which are invasive.

      All the fuckin’ rodents are good, though.

    I feel sorry for anyone who never gets to see a praying mantis in person. Coolest critter on the planet

      I saw one just outside work last summer. Which is weird because they are not endemic to my region.

      I released a few thousand a couple years in a row (got ooth, hatched them, there are just a lot of eggs in each) and would occasionally see the adult females around my property for a few years after (I’m not sure why the population never took hold, it should have and didn’t).

      They are totally chill and will walk onto your hand pretty readily. They are also thrilled to be fed small insects from tweezers, and really like moth larva.

      Where TF you live bro, there are plenty of those in the US. Except puffins, I’m not so sure about those. Alaska might have some.

      Come to think of it, Alaska probably has all of these.
