      I like to think it did when the Framework website went down after the new hardware announcements.

        Sure, but they were also live streaming their announcements on YouTube so my money’s on that.

    Damn is that actually what lemming teeth look like?

    Mouth closed: cutest little critter

    Opens mouth: 😳 wtf

    Tbf this condition is shared by many humans as well, so we can add this to the list of excellent lemming metaphors

        Literally every rodent. Having teeth like that is the defining feature that distinguishes them from other similar types of mammals, such as lagomorphs (rabbits etc.), which have four top teeth.

        From Wikipedia:

        Rodents (from Latin rodere, ‘to gnaw’) are mammals of the order Rodentia (/roʊˈdɛnʃə/ roh-DEN-shə), which are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws.

        (I learned this the other day when my wife thought rabbits were rodents and we ended up looking it up.)

      Nah, ever since I learned the true history behind that, I try to bury it so it can’t perpetuate.
