soggy rock facts to dazzle your enemies

I have a feeling you'd love bowerbirds; they court potential mates by making collections of certain colors. Type of object involved doesn't typically matter; they'll collect anything from bottlecaps to feathers to berries, as long as it matches the color they want. It's like finding a partner based on who's mutually interested in your cool rock collection, and I love them dearly

[@bogmossart]

@@lzrshark617 your feeling was correct, I now also identify with the bowerbird.

I love the 4:3 it really adds so much to your videos. With some vhs filters, 360p quality, and maybe a timecode you can slip these into a science classroom unnoticed. Wet rocks!!

[@arc4705]

@@mebibibi Hey man no need for sarcasm. Please understand that as a public school teacher in the USA, I'm not just competing with my own beliefs on what children are able to view (I fully find this within the realm of something my students would enjoy and understand! Notice how I said I WANT to show it!), I'm also competing with national law, state law, district requirements, and most of all, PARENTS. It takes just 1 of my 120 students to go home and say "my science teacher showed a video with a swear word" for me to receive bureaucratic backlash that makes my job and life even harder. So yeah, middle schoolers swear and it's ok... Among each other on the playground. Not coming from their science teacher as part of the curriculum.
