Here are a few more Snarkless stories making the rounds . . .
1. Happy International Day of Happiness! The U.N. made it a holiday in 2012 to promote the idea that happiness is a basic human right. So if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, you’re doing it wrong.
2. The New England Aquarium just built a retirement community for penguins. The rock slopes are more gradual, and they don’t have to deal with all the nonsense younger penguins get up to.
The first six just moved in, and they’re doing great. Their species has an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, but most of them are already twice that old. The youngest is 29, and the oldest is 34.
They say the penguins should be happier there. It’s also easier to do things like give them their daily meds. Here’s a video.
3. Officials in the Netherlands brought back their popular “fish doorbell” again. It’s something they’ve been doing since 2021 to help fish migrate up a river.
There’s a gate they can’t get past unless someone opens it for them. So they set up a livestream to let people all over the world monitor the gate.
If you see fish, you click a button to let someone know. Last we checked, 1,500 people were watching.
