Yes, I had that exact mouse as a kid and it was terrible. It was very awkward to hold and I don’t think it even worked properly

It’s a smart umbrella with A.I. features that will advice you on when to open your umbrella. If you find yourself in a situation where you encounter rain, and you type in “It’s raining” on the touch-handle screen, the umbrella will either tell you to open the umbrella or not open the umbrella depending on what input you give it.

As somewhat of a BL gourmand, I was under the impression that they must’ve been relaxing the censorship around LGBT content lately, but I guess maybe they get around it by not releasing their shows on Chinese platforms? Either way, some of the most popular BLs this year have been Chinese, including the world’s first live-action Omegaverse BL (and yes, the boys do get pregnant!).

The Danish one looks similar to the ones I saw growing up in Norway, except I’m pretty sure fish would have been further down. I also wouldn’t be surprised if ours we’re made by a dairy company. There was such a push to get us to drink milk at school that I remember thinking I was going to get osteoporosis as a six-year-old (my grandma had to reassure me I would be fine as long as I ate enough yoghurt and cheese)
