Nice fact.
Are marine mammals included?
I believe they do! Before we were seperated from our hairy ancestors we used it as technique to defend or attack much like animals. Because Marine mammals also defend or attack, assuming this they also have goosebumps.
Thanks!
Full story can be found e.g. here.

Now that’s proof of work.
Indeed 🤣🤣🤣
The "turboencabulator" is a famous inner-joke within the engineering world. It was born in a student's journal in 1944, and it became part of engineering lore so that much that actual companies have made fully featured presentations of the "invention", with professionally made data-sheets included (in the case of General Electric, they included a full data-sheet in their General Electric Handbook).
The joke pokes fun at excessive technobabble by using made-up "technical" words that describe an imaginary (yet undecipherable) invention.
Known videos where made with actors that worked for serious engineering presentations:
This one was the first live presentation, made by Bud Haggert (top voice-over talent on technical films), at his request, who after making an actual training film for General Motors convinced everyone to remain in the set to make the sketch:
view on www.youtube.comThis one was made by Chrysler (in the description it haves links to other presentations made by other high-profile companies):
view on www.youtube.comNashville is named after a revolutionary war general.
Nashville gets its name from patriot general Francis Nash. General Nash was a revolutionary war hero who fell in battle. Nash’s name was also used for the now historical landmark of Fort Nashborough. As an additional fun fact: Andrew Jackson’s wife Rachel Donelson lived in Fort Nashborough as a young woman.

the bitcoin event was the driving force behind the theme selection 🤠
Dr. Eggman who is the main villain of the Sonic the Hedgehog game series was originally designed to be a potential protagonist for the game.
Once the character was rejected as a protagonist the team retooled him into the game's main antagonist.
Hunting unicorns is legal in Michigan. Lake Superior State University even offers a unicorn hunting license. The "chief herald of the Unicorn Hunters" once said, "The pursuit of the unicorn is a lonely quest." 🦄🌟

That is definitely a fun fact.
Coincidence? 🤔

Here are the comments within the post sorted by top filter when I view as anon.

I did see them. But I'm talking about the top ranked comments in the territory.
Select top>territory>comments
It was in the day!!
https://m.stacker.news/41987
I don't know why the difference between the top in the post and the ranking in the territory but the bounty has always been based on the top ranking within the post. I am not 100% sure but I think top comments and posts in overall rankings and territory rankings are time weighted to favour news posts/comments so stackers are routinely seeing new content but there is no bias for timing within a post.
I have no objection to the bounty but the difference was quite visible! I looked at it just to confirm because I zapped the comment of @Athena and just wanted to see if it makes a difference. I found that the comment from @Athena came on top of all other comments but did not come on top on the post. I also asked the same think to @k00b but he isn't there and I thought you might know about it. But that's fine, according to the rule it's fine!
Ritchie Blackmore's smoke on the water is actually Beethoven's 5th. ;)

Do we know for sure Kurt is not an alien?
No, not for sure.
But either him or Keith David, one of them is!!

Spiders can release silk from each of their legs. This means a spider can have multiple threads attached at once, helping it build a strong and complex web. Some spiders can even create webs in ways that are completely invisible to the human eye, using extremely fine silk.
