This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

TIL some folk have never seen a European Red Squirrel and think they're Polish
Red squirrels that live in poland are polish. The species name can be whatever, if it eats and sleeps in poland wilds its gonna be polish
You can tell cos they speak Polish.
It was the Lonsdale slip ons that made me realise it was Polish.
I'm not sure, I think we need to see It's papers...
Calm down Adolf
Papers please
I mean, Poland IS in Europe so I'm afraid this title is pedantically correct.
I got this off Bluesky. No, squirrels in North America are mostly grey or black, and the red ones we do have in woodsy areas definitely don't have these ears.
It's a European red squirrel mate, I promise. The biggest population I've seen is on King Charlie's Balmoral estate in Scotland
Yep they're also all over the place in France
Wrong. This is a Polish Squirrel and you can tell because of its straight ears.
Swede here, this looks just like a normal squirrel we have here
They're very different in North America.
Yes they’re correcting you because you said it was polish
Well that's what the guy on Bluesky said lol.
Honestly never heard of Blue sky, are you going to tell us it's a YT Channel ?
No it's a social media app, a Twitter clone made by Jack Dorsey formerly of Twitter before old shit face bought it. It's ok.
Must be correct if you got the information from social media.
Oh pumpkin, chill yourself.
I’m chill, I just finished polishing my squirrel.
And now you're-a-peein'?
