Anglo-Zanzibar War

The shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896. The conflict lasted only 38 minutes! It was sparked by a succession dispute in Zanzibar after the death of the sultan. The British favored one candidate, while another, who was not to the liking of the British, declared himself the sultan. The British issued an ultimatum for him to step down, and when it was ignored, they bombarded the sultan's palace, effectively ending the war in less than an hour.

If N3r0 were to be an advancimal/animal instead of a chaos deity, he would be either a coyote or an opossum

Topic of the day: lesbian lizards.

There's a species of lizards that are entirely female (they really said no boys today honey) living in North America and Mexico. So how do they make baby lizards without males?

They reproduce by parthenogenesis (and are one of the few if not the only species of animal to reproduce only by this method). Parthenogenesis is a reproduction form where the female sexual cells develop without the masculine ones (eggs undergo a chromosome doubling after meiosis, developing into lizards without being fertilized), and it can happen in insects, birds, fishes and reptiles.

The desert grassland whiptail lizard (Aspidoscelis uniparens) does this, but! The ovulation is enhanced by female-female courtship and mating (pseudo-copulation) rituals that resemble the behavior other lizards that reproduce sexually.

So they are the absolute only-female lesbian queens.
