Good morning! 🤗

I hope you’re enjoying a bit of downtime today. But before I dive into the weekend, I’ve got a fun question for you: What’s one useless fact that everyone needs to know? You know, those quirky tidbits of knowledge that don’t really serve a purpose but are so fun to share.

For me, bananas are berries, and strawberries are not—mind-blowing, right? Drop your random facts here—I’m all ears!

Peanuts are not nuts, they're legumes. Cashews, almonds and pistachios are not nuts either, they're actually seeds. Cashews are the seed on the bottom of the cashew apple!
 
Well one is that everybody fails at some stage, so don't be down on yourself feeling that you have actually 'failed'. It's nothing to be bothered about, we all have this in common. Take heart guys it's all okay. Actually NOT a useless fact.

That's true. What they do do is spit and wail at eachother when feeling threatened by anothere cat. Mostly it's evasive tactics, the last thing they want is to fight the other cat. Usually.
