Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
The skunk’s defense system is infamous for its unpleasantness. However, stink it’s the only danger they pose. Not only is their spray notoriously foul, it’s highly flammable. Skunk anal glands produce a sulfur-based oil made of thiol compounds, which are also found in foods like garlic and onions.

The Warrior Cats project of the day is This charming man by Mephitidae! This PMV is about a ship between Hawkfrost and Ashfur. It shows their first meeting, as Ashfur is heartbroken over Squirrelflight. Hawkfrost flirts with him, and romance blossoms! The background colours are beautiful and the style is eye-pleasing.
