HOW FALCONS KEEP YOUR WINE SAFE AND AFFORDABLE

More vineyards in California are employing trained falcon experts to deter invasive species of birds from feeding on growing grapes, according to Drizly.

Paleontologists had previously believed that theropod teeth were probably exposed due to their size, but researchers found that tooth enamel in theropods requires hydration, and they are covered by just a thin layer of enamel, thus indicating that these dinosaurs had lips to keep their teeth protected and coated in saliva when their mouths were closed.

Buzzfeed Is Quietly Publishing Whole Ai-Generated Articles, Not Just Quizzes | Futurism

According to Futurism, BuzzFeed has quietly started publishing fully AI-generated articles that are produced by people outside of the editorial staff, causing some to question CEO Jonah Peretti's commitment to holding AI-assisted content to a high standard. The articles — which are mostly SEO-driven travel guides — are, to put it cordially, repetitive and not exactly brimming with personality, noticeably resembling the work of a content mill, not a real person with years of writing expertise.

WHAT IS THE HEAVIEST ORGAN IN THE HUMAN BODY?

Finally, the moment we've been waiting for…

73% of you said "Skin" — That's actually wrong! The largest and heaviest organ overall is the skin but, if you read the question again, we said "in the human body" not "on." (We know, we tricked you, but 1) today is a day of trickery anyway and 2) you are all too smart and we had to fool you somehow.) If you can believe it, the heaviest internal organ is actually…
