            Wombats are the only animals on Earth that produce cube-shaped poop — a quirky mystery that puzzled scientists for years. But now, researchers have figured out how this Australian marsupial pulls off the feat. By dissecting wombats and analyzing the elasticity and stiffness of their intestines, scientists discovered that the wombat’s gut has uniquely structured regions with varying flexibility. These regions contract in an uneven rhythm during digestion, slowly molding the feces into distinct six-sided shapes. To confirm their findings, the team even built a 2D mathematical model that simulated how these intestinal contractions form cubes over time. Unlike other animals, whose intestines squeeze poop in smooth, uniform waves, wombats have sections of muscle that squeeze faster or slower depending on their stiffness, shaping sharp corners as digestion progresses. The evolutionary reason? Wombats mark their territory by placing their droppings on rocks and logs — and cube-shaped poop simply doesn’t roll away. Scientists believe this strange biological trick could inspire new engineering methods for shaping materials more precisely.

              73% of all women from every class survived the sinking of the Titanic.

              Only 19% of men survived.

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                Speaking of paleolithic emotions and medieval institutions. It's no wonder why young men might be looking around and wondering about these sorts of attitudes.

                      The patriarchy was so terrible men even thought they were more worthy of freezing to death than women.

                        Especially when we are harangued about being sexists and patriarchs.

                              Marin County I get. But the Tetons and parts of western Colorado? An artifact due to low population density I suppose.
