A while ago I learned that not all rabbits I see out and about are the same, so of course I had to make a map.

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

A farmer buys a young cock. As soon as he gets it home, it f*cks all the farmer's 150 hens. The farmer is impressed. At lunch the cock screws all 150 hens again.

The next day it's f*cking the ducks and geese too. Later he finds the cock lying on the ground half-dead with vultures circling overhead.

The farmer says, “You deserved it, you horny bastard!” The cock opens one eye, points up, and says, “Shhhhhh. They’re about to land!!”

@gabbspalomo I usually download via the manual interface (Explore -> Filters -> Download), but it's limited to 200k results. If I want way more then that then I'll download records from gbif, but those are only research grade.

@NicoSGonzalez A lot of podcasts, including many popular, are just several people talking about whatever comes to mind for an hour, and that can definitely be unappealing. But plenty of podcasts are scripted, have nice editing and are akin to documentaries. Lots of interesting stuff.
