@FroggyMakes @John Hold on, was rat facts run by people managing a hotline

@jonty @FroggyMakes

we had great fun pretending to be a call centre!

269 calls and 142 minutes of total call duration!

@jonty @John We've got cat, bat and rat facts. EMF2026 is just going to be a series of ad-hoc call centres keeping everyone informed on animal trivia.

Dibs on mole facts. Moles are weird.

@FroggyMakes @jonty

Hi is this Vole Facts?

@FroggyMakes @jonty @John dibs on tru'fax.

Now I just need to figure out fax machines.

@pieceofthepie @FroggyMakes @jonty @John
Nobody’s done hat facts yet…? Or perhaps even bureaucrat and aristocrat facts…

What about facts about faxes?! People could send a fax with a fact to fax facts!!!

@herdingdata @pieceofthepie@social.n8e.dev @FroggyMakes @jonty @John I for one would love to fax fax facts facts.

@herdingdata @pieceofthepie @FroggyMakes @jonty @John @Floppy @pikesley we need to nab Hat Facts for Hat Village in 2026!

@wamonite @pikesley Hat Fact #1: Richard Feynman theorised that there is only one hat, but it moves backwards and forwards through time.

@jon @FroggyMakes @jonty @John this idea is not 10 minutes old and I am already chatting with @blue about implementation details. I feel like we need to make this happen 😃

@John @FroggyMakes @jonty might have to branch out into Tardigrade Facts next time. Perhaps a combined call centre with one of those big “calls waiting” type displays would be in order.

@John @FroggyMakes Operated by the technovoles themselves. They just reply with annoyed squeaks (at 140bpm)
