Concealment of matings by individuals that are not subject to physical interruption by conspecifics has so far been documented in two species only: humans and Arabian babblers.
Arabian babblers use discreet communication to initiate copulation. Then, pairs sneak away and only mate in locations and/or times in which they are hidden from view of other group members.

I have a poodle. He accidentally said "hello" once when yawned. It sounded so much like real speech that it gave me the creeps, like someone had sneaked into my apartment. I started searching the flat for intruders, but then he yawned again and I realized what happened.
Back in my day, we could double the capacity of a floppy disk by cutting a hole in it. #randomfacts #randomthoughts
Back in the 14th century, one of my ancestors saved a king from certain death by rescuing him from the clutches of a group of 'Saracen warriors', as the grant of arms says.
Listening to my grandmother's sister tell stories about the family history was fun and amazing. But finding the actual genealogical papers in my grandfather's study decades later: that was incredible.
Oh, look! Another tale of a self-castrated #hatmaker who apparently had nothing better to do than kill Booth, because who doesn't love some random historical trivia? 🤔🔪 Forgot the crucial details?

The first programming language I learned was Python. I learnt it myself from Gérard Swinnen's book to write automated tests for a pirate-themed board game I had invented (graphics made with Inkscape and GIMP).
Although the development was stuck at ~87% completion and never finished, Python and automated testing became my speciality and paved my career.

I learned the basics of #Linux just to satisfy my curiosity at the age of 11 on a weekly workshop. Who would have thought that I would be working with Linux servers, and one day having Linux on my PC would feel more natural than using Windows.
My 11-year-old self would have been amazed at the vision of smartphones, Raspberries, k8s clouds and #SteamDeck consoles.
Though I worry a lot about technology being misused, it's refreshing to remember how inspiring technology is.
