don't make mountains out of molehills, make friends out of moles instead
time for even more mole facts~!
moles are also valuable in north america for eating invasive, damaging species such as cutworms and japanese beetles! they get blamed for damaging lawns, but that doesn't take into account the benefits of their eating habits. they don't just eat bugs, their tunnels also help aerate the soil!
on the topic of how cool star-nosed moles are, they can actually smell underwater by exhaling bubbles and then sniffing that air!

@puppy not sure how many it takes to blush in response,,,
time for mole facts!
did you know that star-nosed moles take an average of 25 ms touching and inspecting a potential food item? they're so fast that they're near the limit of their nervous system's ability to process and respond to stimuli. the neurons in their brain take 12 ms to respond, and the corresponding motor command is estimated to take 5 ms.

feel free to tag yr hiveway takes please
never forget that furries and queer people are the ones who actually rule the mastodon fediverse
Hiveway stole the code of a bunch of queer people and is trying to make it for profit and act like it's the first to do this lmao
Let me just interject for a second, what you're referring to as Hiveway is in fact Mastodon/Hiveway or as I've recently begun calling it, Mastodon plus Scam
does anyone else just think about possums and just suddenly your mood improves a little bit
