19.12.2024 23:23 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified ๐ฅณ

Wouldn't trade it for anything...at all ๐๐ค๐ฝ

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.
Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.
Was going to visit the numismatic collection at the National Archaeological Museum in #Naples after Christmas. Guess I'll have to go somewhere else!
