This is a normal post I was talking about this issue recently with a friend who wild camps...
I recall being taught how to dig a latrine as a child, both from being a Cub Scout and from a kid's guide to camping book I had (I only ever camped on designated sites, though, so never got to implement the knowledge fully).

My friend is eschewing wild camping at the moment due to not wanting to be associated with ignorant, selfish cunts who pitch up in the middle of the day, shit everywhere and leave piles of rubbish behind: the very opposite of wild camping's 'leave no trace' ethos.

Calling the RSPCA in seems like the best bet tbh. If it has an owner, it'll likely be microchipped and returned home. If not it'll still probably have a better life than it currently has.

Also the big belly might mean it's pregnant rather than well-fed.

This is a normal post There was something in New Scientist about 10 or 15 years ago
where someone had set out to weigh the internet. On the basis that each bit is represented by a 1 or a 0, and that by the presence or absence of an electron, if you worked out how many bits there were in the internet, you could would out how many electrons. Since electrons are massive, you can just multiply through.

The whole internet at the time weighed about the same as a strawberry. I suspect that it's more like an bowlful now.

This is a normal post "incredibly dangerous" seems somewhat of an exaggeration
If they allow cyclists to walk their bikes through the crossing as the sign implies, presumably this is also reliant on their ability to detect if a train is coming to do so safely, in the same way as the photographer would be.
I'd also presume the safety margins don't require split-second reaction times, otherwise it would be a dangerous crossing for any user that they've sanctioned, and the sign should say "Cyclists Should Ride Through Here At Flat Chat And Hope For The Best"
