It’s interesting that though the total number of fediverse users went up by 70000 in the past month, the number of monthly active users dropped by 60000. If I’m reading that right, 10% (130k) of all active accounts went inactive over the past month.

@jerry I told you. I told you time and again… Don’t post feet pics! Did you listen? Nooooo.

I would say I’m experiencing extreme anxiety about work Monday morning, but that has been the case since at least Friday.

Seems like I would be a little more at ease with only 45 working days left till they give me the boot.

Is this "the first human-made textbook"?

Huge drawings of touchable animal tracks would be an ideal teaching tool for young hunters & trackers.

Some of the carvings are in a narrow crevice, almost like it was a "test" where the student could move through the prints identifying them by touch. (that's my guess for how they used it)

Some of the prints are from animals who no longer live in the region.

@futurebird “The experts were able to define the species, sex, age group and exact leg of the specific animal or human depicted in more than 90% of the engravings they analysed (N = 513).” [empasis mine] Wow. It is mind-blowing they could ascertain so much information! 😍
