Issue #1 or 5? You decide!
This got a bonus chuckle from me.
4·6 days agoIt’s a quote from the linked article.
Not to distract from the inappropriate response from the bot, but:
In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults

Not sure about density, but birds that aren’t adapted to water don’t produce the oil and don’t have the interlocking feathers to trap air and make them float very well.

The second image is a Ptolemaic statuette of the Egyptian deity Anpu from perhaps ~200 BCE. It is old. So is the bus. Additionally, Anubis was sometimes known as “The Dog who Swallows Millions”, compared here to the poor economy of school buses. Finally, I’m not very good at understanding jokes. Hope that helps.
