I love how the French flag is a backdrop here

It's unfortunate that there are negative stereotypes of vultures as creepy just because they eat carrion, as they're the janitors who take care of the messes that others don't want to deal with.

I encourage everyone who sees this comment to check out the article, including the giant list of related stories at the bottom, and see if there's anything going on near you. There's a ton of stuff from many different states mentioned -- Wisconsin, Idaho, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Texas, California, Missouri, Arizona, Michigan, Virginia, Arkansas, South Carolina... Even if there's nothing in your local area, you should be vigilant about what's going on in your local area, and be active in local government.

If you're an elections geek (like me) or have friends in the St. Petersburg, Florida area, you might want to know about that one crazy candidate, Danielle Marolf, for Pinellas County school board (Florida, basically St. Petersburg) who's lying about the availability of a book that's already been banned, and campaigning on this lie. Marolf is running against incumbent school board chair Laura Hine in this year's school board elections.

Maybe this is why they named a Super Mario RPG boss after this genus

It’s the lack of lignin (bamboo uses silica as a strengthener)

Oh I see

The funny thing is that both "July twenty-third" and "the twenty-third of July" are common in the US.

as if my Florida Man posting didn't already give it away :P

that said I have learned to prefer YYYY-MM-DD for all my cataloguing needs on computer because it sorts far more easily

Your mentioning using stuff from tlieset packs (which I presume you made) actually made me wonder about something -- I'm definitely not a skilled visual artist myself, but I do have various very well-made asset packs that I've picked up over the years (mainly due to the giant bundles on itch.io), so maybe I could actually try stitching a scene together from them sometime. Could be a fun way to spend an hour or two when bored, and I could do something with these purchases while also being able to show off the work of a variety of pixel artists to friends.

The way Mario seems to teleport when turning around in the water seems to say something about the way hitboxes worked in the original DKC1.

Is there a setting that can allow me to keep browsing history on LibreWolf "forever", i.e. without it expiring and getting dumped after some time?

It's not in the settings, but I'm willing to dive into about:config to do it.

 

I'm working on re-creating a logo we had last year onto this year's #Canvas. The site, complete with template, is linked above!

#Canvas2024

 

Okay, technically, woman.

In short, someone found a dead body while fishing. So, content warning, the story is about that. Though the article doesn't actually have any nasty imagery or verbal details, just a picture of the water with a sunken streetlight pole in it.

(...Yes, I'll admit I posted this because of the pun.)

 

Found this on Mastodon. A "Christmas tree" of flasks with differently colored liquids.

 

...yeah. This is a thing. Both of these are things.

 

So this thing is happening: https://canvas.toast.ooo/

It's hosted by the good folks at toast.ooo and here's a link to the community for this: !canvas@toast.ooo

I was thinking we can get a GOG logo onto here. I've drawn up the attached image as the template I'm using. And I've started painting this with my top left corner being 98,208.

Come join in!

Edit: Modified the image. The exact pixel art is at the top left but I've provided a blown-up version that's probably easier to see. Though you can always just download the image, open it up in MS Paint or something, and blow it up yourself.

Hi there! (mander.xyz)

Hello! This is my first time using the "threadiverse". I joined this instance because there's a lot of interesting stuff going on on Lemmy and Kbin. I heard about this part of the fediverse only recently, mainly coinciding with the controversy on Reddit, though I've been using the fediverse since even before Twitter got stupid.

Like my profile suggests, I'm into environmental science and policy issues, and have gotten myself sucked into some local native plant groups and doing wildlife observation stuff. I'm also a musician, and I enjoy videogames as well, mainly older ones.

Shown here is the full version of the photo from which I got my avatar. It's my own photo. There's a snapping turtle that can be occasionally sighted at a nearby park. Sidenote: snapping turtles look way more elegant in the water.

OMG I can edit the thread OP! I remember this specifically being impossible on Reddit lol
