"174 dump/distribution spots have been set up around the city, and charities, churches and citizens are being encouraged to take as much as they can. Berlin zoo has also been given tonnes to feed its animals. What a vision. What a demi-paradise. All those whose roots, like the Mangans', are to be found in Catholic Ireland will feel the urge to go and stock up stirring in their ancestral DNA. The connection is deep and it is real."
"If the latter, beware of research that claims there is not one type of night owl, but three: vulnerable, more likely to be sedentary and prone to depression; energetic, risk-takers at low risk of depression; and high-performing, those who have quick reaction times but lack emotional regulation. Look, far be it from me to dismiss scientific research by experts on circadian rhythms but babes, you haven't found three types of owl. You've found one type of owl before, during and after coffee."
Berlin experienced a Kartoffel‑Flut, a bumper potato harvest so large that farmers are giving potatoes away. One hundred seventy‑four dump and distribution spots were set up citywide, with charities, churches, citizens and the zoo receiving tonnes to redistribute and feed animals. A narrator from the UK tempts travel despite a long absence, driven by ancestral ties to Catholic Ireland and a comical domestic episode involving a hidden passport. Research on circadian rhythms categorizes night owls into vulnerable, energetic and high‑performing types, yet a skeptical perspective contends that coffee largely shapes nocturnal behavior and perceived differences.
