From what I understand, cranberries grow in the bogs so the flooding would happen naturally and that's just how they grow and now modern farming does it on purpose. As for the spiders, they are also a good thing because they keep other pests off the cranberries. Unfortunately they like to climb to high ground, which when there's flooding, is the people waiting in the water.

It's not that hard to find voice only, no social media phones-they are literally targeted at kids and teens. Just do a search.

I encourage you to give Bluesky some more attention. It has captured old twitter vibes imo. It is changing pretty rapidly with its growth. It's far different than it was even a year ago when I joined. It requires you interacting with it to tune the content you see. There are lots of specific user created feeds and you can make your own. I think "What's hot classic" serves up an interesting variety.

Shout out to cranberry! Sorry Maine! Wisconsin still has more cranberry then you! Buuuut that also means we have more bog spiders

I saw that tik tok the other day and my cat basically rolled her eyes and walked away

I'm just glad our country (Aus land) is actually trying to do SOMETHING, we are the country of doing nothing year after year lately.
