Tired of doomscrolling? Try ringing a doorbell for fish.


In an undated photo, a freshwater perch eyeballs the fish doorbell several feet below the surface of a river in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Viewers are glued to an underwater livestream meant to help fish migration on the river in the Netherlands. Devotees welcome the distraction – and the chance to help a fish get frisky. — Mark van Heukelum via The New York Times
