    Also, if you forget someone’s name, call them Muhammad. It’s the most common name, and therefore, you’re most likely going to be correct.

    I’m so grateful for the red outline, nobody could understand how these two brief concepts fit together as a joke without it.

    20-25% of all mammal species are bats. Think of the last 4-5 different mammals you’ve seen. Is your dog actually a bat? Seems likely.

    We’re all beetles on this blessed day.

    It was purely a guess, but I wondered if butterflies and moths rank up there in terms of number of species. Sure enough I checked Wikipedia and apparently it’s the second largest order of insects.

    Back in the day when I first discovered Wikipedia Random https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random, I was always amazed at how often a species of moth/butterfly or a species of beetle would show up. Like if the feature is truly and genuinely completely randomly showing me a page on Wikipedia, and assuming there’s not even a page for each and every species of these insects, it was still impressively frequent.

    Though, I just played with the link for a few seconds as I was typing this up, and I didn’t get one single link to an insect, so maybe they’ve changed how they pull random stuff or maybe the ratios of insect to non-insect articles has changed over the years.
