Cool, and if anyone wanted to dive into the cuttlefish rabbit hole, er, den, 10/10 would recommend any reading or documentary about them. Astonishing visual communication and camouflage, curiosity, problem solving, and more weird biology.

NOT FISH despite the name. Cephalopods are molluscs like snails! They are pretty smart and can have somewhat elaborate mating routines, and most species are somewhat careful about sperm sac delivery AFAIK. Lonely prisoners are not good behaviour models.

It's the Hive Mind Stans phenomenon that fascinates me, meme-activated collective action that is a very modern social body.

Some of the stuff BTS ARMY got up to was fantastic and a bit scary. Also large numbers. Very large.

This does not include the regressive types who are trying to create Gilead, however.

The main suppliers of inexpensive EV's are Chinese manufacturers. Most solar equipment is Chinese made. Watch the upcoming trade deals. It will be interesting to see if joint chinese-ethiopian manufacturing agreements pop up in Ethiopia, due to labour rate arbitrage.
