Ok I love that, will definitely have to remember that exists next time I need to glue something.
Earlier this year I was trying to figure out the best way to glue a magnetic sheet to plastic. I don’t remember what I ended up using, I think it was a plastic glue more than a metal glue, and I made sure to clamp it down well and it seems to be holding.
I’m under the impression that flexible magnetic sheeting is generally magnetic material embedded in a polymer matrix, so I’d imagine the glue is functioning essentially as if it’s just a normal...

That would have helped me so much last fall; I lost all my plant markers because I used the wrong glue. I have no idea how the glass chips ended up as scattered as they did, surely the wind...

It was actually about a scientific experiment to figure out if cuttlefish use stereopsis, like we do, to judge distances. Which apparently they do. Was an interesting read. But more importantly, it also has a picture of a cuttlefish wearing 3D glasses. Clearly the most hip and cool of all cuttlefish.
"I have to say most people thought this wouldn't work because the cuttlefish would just take the glasses off and not be very happy with me putting them on in the first place," Wardill told Quirks & Quarks host Bob McDonald.
The cuttlefish being like "FINE, I'll wear them for snacks I guess" strikes me as something they'll remember in a future where cephalopods take over the world

Gluing things to animals is a fun topic. When I worked in the R&D department at a farm, one of my daily tasks involved gluing glitter to pollinating insects (we used super glue) as a method of identifying them after release, but it was an extremely fiddly process — we had to make sure we didn't get any on their wings or heads — that we couldn't really do in gloves, so we mostly just ended up gluing glitter to ourselves.
Super glue is very hard to get off of skin, so we were very glittery. We were also very stinky because some of the insects we reared spend their juvenile phase in rotting manure. We left quite the impression on our non-R&D colleagues!
Well, they had it good. Why, in my day, we would have dreamed of being reared in a pile of rotting manure! It would have been a mansion to us. No, we had to make do with a tiny speck of manure,...

No, we had to make due do with a tiny speck of manure, that we had to share, all 506 of us, on alternating days if we were lucky! (Apologies to Monty Python)
That's also what I use, and I was going to suggest it as well! It looks like this site links out to it, but on giving it a scan it looks like someone messed up the QR code: it's just text saying...

Thank you for sharing, I'm bookmarking this.
It's a great site, it's ancient but still works.

Oh my gosh, this line:
