Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘

In its sleep, an octopus will change its skin colour and texture in what appears to be dreaming.

Humans and octopuses are separated by 750 million years of evolution. Our last common ancestor was an ocean flatworm. We may as well be from different planets.

So either even creatures as simple as worms can dream and we inherited that from them, or dreaming is an emergent property of intelligence, appearing independently. And both possibilities are fascinating.

A friend shared this, so...

Which social media platform do you use the most?

Please reblog for larger sample.

The aim of https://Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.

All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members, are open for public signups and block threads.net. They can be any sort of Fediverse server, not just Mastodon.

If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.

Picnic.
