Imagine just walking around with no idea that weevils exist.
I wonder what's my weevil. There's got to be something like that I have no idea about. It's probably related to driving a car.

@futurebird I learned about weevils as a kid, from reading The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by AVI. There were weevils in the shipboard flour, if I recall correctly. 😆 @futurebird I'm old enough to remember stories about weevils in ships hard tack (biscuits) and my granddad talking about them.  @futurebird Cars are manufactured by different makers, using different parts that can’t be used on other cars. Some are imperial, some are metric. But there is one part that can be reused on any car (and bicycle)…the lowly Schrader valve. It keeps the air in your tires. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve @obviousdwest @futurebird @nomi @obviousdwest @futurebird I expect this will be the most interesting fact I learn all day, if not all week. Thank you!  @obviousdwest Speaking as somebody who prefers Schrader valves on her bicycles, I assure you that there's plenty of bicycles out there that are entirely incompatible with these.  @obviousdwest @futurebird Also presta valves if you need to hold higher pressure (usually on road bikes)  @futurebird "What's My Weevil?" The new game show, starring Kitty Carlisle..... @ColesStreetPothole Also, the catchphrase of Behind the Weevils, a nature show by Robert Evans.   @Lily_and_frog @ColesStreetPothole @futurebird scary/cute is a very weevil aesthetic  |
