    Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it’s technically menstration but different from “overt menstration” found in humans and primates.

    Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn’t occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here’s a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.

              Nah, at least one of the Ks has to have something to do with kitchens, Kevins or kneeling. Those are the rules that I just made up for no apparent reason.

        I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying “WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN’T LEARNING SHIT TODAY.”

      Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don’t know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_primate_hypothesis

        TL:DR : flying foxes’ (those really large bats) brains are connected to their eyes in a similar way to primates, but different from all other mammals (including smaller bats). Though apparently this theory doesnt hold up when comparing the DNA from flying foxes with small bats and primates respectively.

    Friend of mine had bats in between his attic and the outdoor screen, used to climb a ladder to check them out.

      I was in my parents’ yard once and something wet fell on my head. I touched it and it was blood red. Totally thought I was bleeding until I noticed tiny berry seeds in the substance. My grandma said that happening to me meant I’d have good luck.

          She just said general good luck. I believed her because I’m convinced she a witch or druid or some shit. She has this uncanny ability to know things she has no way of knowing. She’s also absolutely incredible with plants.

              Lmao apparently she was hot when she was young. She isn’t blood related to me, so I didn’t inherit any cool plant powers from her. I’m actually terrible with plants, tbh. Great with ducks, though.
