This is a short video of a bengal cat that cows instead of meows. What a cutie! My cats meow. And sometimes they chitter at birds outside the window. Occasionally they’ll hack up some fur on the comforter. They don’t cow though. Neither do my dogs. My dogs do have

This is a video from Youtuber and obviously fun guy BionicandtheWires, who hooked up some sensors to a growing oyster mushroom colony to detect fluctuations in electrical activity, which are converted to signals that activate the mushroom’s solenoid-powered bionic arms and play a keyboard. It sounds just as trippy as
