Piggy-backing on the Orcas - their pods are maternal, and each pod has a distinct language of clicks and vocalizations. They also, despite what some may think, do not mate for life. Males leave their family pod to find a mate. Afterward, the male returns home, leaving the mate and calf with their family pod. The male Orca has no hand in raising their offspring.

Fiat currency always and forever eventually leads to a populist moment.  This is because the currency is backed by debt.  Debt requires printing money more money.  Printing money leads to inflation.  Inflation reduces purchase power.  Reducing purchasing power causes wealth inequality as people with the fiat currency's loses value and people with scarce assets retain their wealth.  This process hollows out the middle class and leads to the "Rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer".  When you are poor and you look across the way at your rich countryman many choose to  wallow in jealousy.  This leads to populism.

Dolphins apparently have their own version of puff puff pass. They find a blowfish, wait for it to puff up, and then bat it around with some friends. The mild poison from the fish gives them a high-like feeling.

So I just found this out the other day, not sure why I never realized. When driving on a highway the exit number above the exit sign depicts which side of the road the exit is on. So if the number is on the right side the exit is on the right. If it’s on the left it’s on the left side. When I heard it, I was like oh… that makes sense.
