what is it about capybaras that attracts groups of small animals to them?
Its not just mammals either its like birds and turtles and frogs too

They radiate peace
capybaras are friend shaped
I love this post
This is actually a cool thing I know about!
In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.
Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.
Like puppies
Ducks
Deer
Emus
They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!
A Pythagorean cup looks like a normal drinking cup, except that the bowl has a central column in it. It was supposedly invented by Pythagoras of Samos (yes, that one). It allows the user to fill the cup with wine up to a certain level. If the user fills only to that level, the imbiber may enjoy a drink in peace. If, however, the user gets greedy, the cup dumps all the wine into the unfortunate victim’s lap.
Pythagoras sounds like a real asshole.
he was
Fun fact: This cup uses an “S-trap” which functions very similarly to the way a modern toilet flushes. The S-trap of the modern toilet was not invented until 1775, which was 2275 years after Pythagoras died. Humans used this idea to embarrass people at parties for more than two millennia before realizing it could also be used to better pipe shit out of their houses.
