🔖 ELI5: Why penguins don't get cold feet? (reddit)

⭐️Best Answer:
From google:

"Certain arteries in the penguin's leg can adjust blood flow in response to foot temperature, feeding the foot just enough blood to keep it a few degrees above freezing."

Happy New Year 2021!

2020 was personally good for me since I rekindled my passion in coding by getting into building Telegram bots.
So for 2021, I have some exciting updates lined up for Reddgram, Snoozy Timer, Telegram Bot API bots and a new bot to get Football score alerts.

Stay safe!

New Year Update: Subscriptions, Multi Mode, Best Answer and more!

This release contains the following changes:

1. Subscriptions - subscribe to any of the subreddits and get alerts every 2 hours from the subscribed ones. send /subscriptions.
2. Import Subreddits - Import your subreddits from reddit.com as Subscriptions and get posts from them regularly. send /import to know how.
3. Multi mode - get multiple threads(limited to 5 at once) at a time.
4. Best Answer - For r/explainlikeimfive, fetches Best Answer and displays it in the post.
5. Removed plain text commands in the format "memes topm" to avoid issues in groups. now it should only respond to commands starting with "/".
6. Added a button in the post to share it to any Telegram chat.
7. Layout changes(removed unnecessary wordings). Now it is purely icon/emoji based layout.
8. Redesigned help menu. You should be able to find every information in a unified multi-button menu.
9. Added a FAQs section.
10. Added some more subreddits to emoji mode.
11. Now the bot is hosted on Raspberry Pi. No server usage limits and no sleeping!

Happy New Year 2021!

Reddgram update:

In accordance with Telegram Terms of Service (https://telegram.org/tos) and to avoid the bot being taken down due to the spread of pornographic content, you will not be able to browse any NSFW content (images/gifs/videos) using the bot. This was a necessary action and it had to be done at some point. Please unsubscribe from any NSFW subreddits to avoid missing alerts. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the amazing logo @Ajay_Bhojani
