@DonAlvar @matthewbest depressingly I think a few of them probably would be. But I don't know anything about the regulatory environment in the US, but here in the UK I'd be very surprised if you could get approval to do that to primates for that little clear benefit

Pigeon photobomb, Brighton seafront, UK.
Incredibly lucky, unintended, genuine pigeon shot. Pigeon flies into centre frame as pic is taken. Exactly between two railings. Only edit is slight sharpening.

While not *really* for #MedTwitter or #MedMastodon, I feel like anyone can enjoy this oral history of when six pediatric specialists swallowed Lego heads to see how long it would take for them to exit their bodies, an experiment that was published in the “Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health” under the title, “Everything is awesome: Don't forget the Lego” https://defector.com/an-oral-history-of-the-time-six-doctors-swallowed-lego-heads-to-see-how-long-theyd-take-to-poo/
@veanova @Ruth_Mottram I stopped drinking dairy maybe five or six years ago and have occasionally been given coffees with dairy milk in since by accident, weirdly I can always tell immediately because all dairy milk now tastes like spoiled milk to me
For thousands of years, native peoples of the southeastern US harvested mollusks, depositing shells in midden mounds that grew to be literal islands above the surrounding marshland. Many of these mounds now host "hammocks", or groves of trees ecologically distinct from neighboring biomes. In Florida, many endangered tropical plant species are only found in these small handful of shell hammocks. Another way that native people enrich the environment through traditional practices. #ClamFacts
