    TIL opossums and possums are not the same thing (with different spellings). They are not even from the same animal group.

    Does a possum turn into an Opossum if it’s fed after midnight?

    Interesting fact. no. :D

    I’m dying to know about the “bot cloths” now too.

    TIL....about bot cloths.

    What is that?

    You musta missed this on the "Remember when that was a thing" thread last week. Except it was just a thing for that one person's family lol.

    I skim alot these days. What are they for that person?

    It was a rag to wipe the butt, used wet like a wet wipe, I think. I had lots of questions about it. Like first and foremost how often was that thing washed? Apparently it was fresh enough for an older (unliked) sibling to use it on their face while the younger sibling laughed their *kitten* off. :D

    TIL Mr. Rogers told the U.S. Supreme Court during the attempt to ban VCRs that he sided with the VCR, as it helped families to watch his show together. Supreme Court said his testimony was a contributing factor which allowed VCRs.

    What would you say is proper bunch size when shopping?
    Sometimes I buy 3 or 4 green bananas, plus 4 to 6 or 8 perfectly "just under ripe" bananas when shopping.
