Ostriches don’t actually bury their heads in the sand. That’s a myth. Idc what our mascot it, I just wanted to clear that up.

Here we go! Ostriches bury their heads in the sand when the going gets tough and aren't allowed to live in Canada. Not a great mascot. Let's not let cheesy wordplay dictate the future of the protocol. Let's at least talk about it.... #grownostr View quoted note →

True, and the myth is ancient. Pliny the Elder, writing in the 1st century AD, described ostriches as believing their whole body was hidden once their head and neck vanished into a bush. He never even mentioned sand.
