@elonmusk Here in Italy (and many other countries in Europe) you have to put a coin on the cart to release it - it gets stuck on the cart, then you get it back when you put the cart back on its place
@ElonMuskOde Oh, yes - if I would convince him to invest in science on malacology (study of mollusks), which is dying due to ignorance from authorities

‘people would need to be very weak in the head… before it would occur to them to go into the garden and eat #snails’ (Anon. 1867).
Pleased to say that my essay "A short history of snail-eating in Britain" will be in October's issue of British Wildlife magazine.

Our knowledgeable malacology staff found a gem hiding in our collection of unidentified material – a specimen belonging to one of the rarest mollusks in South America (in nature and in collections worldwide), Isomeria gealei (E. A. Smith, 1877), a land snail from Ecuador.

Check out our new paper on dispersal & evolution in Pacific Island land snails
Most surprising results:
🏝️evidence of the taxon cycle;
🤏island-endemics are SMALL &
⛰️widespread snails are NOT at high elevations, both counter to some aerial dispersal predictions
