This has been going on for 16 years? I thought it was started in the mid or late 2010s.
Wait, you need to post every day to get the achievement?
Why not apples? Is there a reason apples aren't a preferred fruit of bats?
So when did it become public knowledge? When the Google is broken controversy started?
Seems like the Bats community here on Lemmy.world was popular due to some new posts every day.
Strange. What happened to the discouragement of AMP links and why are they suddenly popping up now?
I just noticed this when I saw a strange "Achievement Unlocked" notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a month.
Yeah; that brown bat is still cute and I like the expression it's making in the picture.
What's your favorite official Grumpig card art? I like the one with the Grumpig jumping over the volcano the most. My second favorite is the one with Grumpig standing on one foot on top of water.
What makes bats like bananas so much? Or is it just the humans' preferred treat for bats?
Why are there two or more bat species that look like they're poorly modeled in a 3D model making program? That doesn't look like something Mother Nature or someone making 3D assets would make a bat look like.
Why aren't there bats that can see better than humans that also have echolocation?
So why doesn't a random follower posting a link on Mastodon cause server load issues, but a popular follower does?
It used to exist but the website seems to be broken now. Is the newsletter still active or is it dead?
The site "Striped Bandits" died in 2022 or so and was replaced with a raccoon comic. What did you think of the old 2005-2016 era website? Did you use its forum back in the day? I remember reading about it.
I was reminded about Bat Appreciation Day today thanks to this channel on YouTube.
What are the lightweight Linux distributions?
Whaling on a tree? That would be incredibly shocking. What trees are even close enough to an ocean to whale catch from?
Why were pigs chosen to be the main negative subject of the common pearls before swine quote that another way of saying not to give important stuff to people who won't cherish it?
Here's yet another news article about pet skunks. What do you think of them? Do you think they should be pets at all?
New research reveals that the iconic black and white stripe markings of skunks are less prevalent in areas with fewer mammalian predators.
Apparently they have come to the conclusion that skunk stripes are different based on the area and how many predators there are. It's nice to know more about my favorite animals.
Skunks are sometimes referred to as polecats due to their similarities. Early English settlers had not seen skunks before and mistook them for polecats, which are native to Europe and Asia. Polecats and skunks are distantly related and share some physical and behavioral qualities with each other but...
Sometimes skunks are called polecats. Apparently Skuntank has a cat like face because skunks are sometimes called polecats.
This is nice. I don't want whales to go extinct.
Welcome to Skunks Wiki, the wiki about the American animal species of the same name.
These are our favorite stories about skunks. In 2018, an Illinois officer helped a skunk with a cup on its head. In 2015, an officer from Rochester, Michigan, responded to a call about a baby skunk with its head stuck in a yogurt container. In January, the 911 dispatch center in Knox County, Indiana...
Have you seen this article before?
Announcing the FINAL FANTASY XIV TTRPG (Tabletop Role-Playing Game)!
What do you think of the upcoming TTRPG? I think it will be interesting to see as it is the first official Final Fantasy TTRPG to my knowledge. I'm not sure how Square Enix will translate the Final Fantasy related things into the TTRPG space, though I have seen several attempts at fan made Final Fantasy systems such as pathFinal Fantasy and Final Fantasy D20.

That was pretty interesting to find out. Do you think this looks pretty?
I missed it this year, firstly because I was so enveloped in Skuntank Day, and second because this is the first I've heard it occurring on the first Sunday of the week and not always September 3 like I thought.
I saw the recent article about the Zinc-air battery and about a year ago I've heard of a solid state battery technology. It got me interested in thinking that there might be a battery made in the future that could be made exclusively from resources that can be grown or renewed. How many years do you think we're off from getting that kind of battery invented?
This isn't good... and yet my bros keep on buying these games as close to day one as possible...
Monster Legends (a game they have the rights to due to acquiring Social Point) has two separate battle passes, a "Legends Pass" and a literal "Battle Pass" that both cost more than ten dollars monthly separately. If that's the standard to be presented in NBA 2K24 Angry Joe will be furious!
Oh and while watching the YouTube video about AngryJoe's disapproval for this, I get a YouTube advertisement for a sports gambling iOS app just right after he states he made a whole video about NBA 2K19 being comparable to a casino with how its micro transaction systems work and look! The rating straight up states "Gambling" and the app is rated 17+.
