You could get them 40 years ago with a simple clock. No internet connection, just set up for coffee at 7

Oh thanks for sharing. Just had them for lunch from the garden and I love them because they do so well over winter!

4m! Neuer Rekord! Bei mir reißt die schon beim Brot reinstecken.

Ran from a wildfire recently when the wind turned suddenly. In a few universes I am now BBQ.

Now you're a sexy looking sitting duck! Are you flying alone, handsome?

E621 artists, could you pretty please?

In the name of probably quite a few rural people: fuck you

As much as I believe that culture will inform political leaning - getting stuck posting online does too little. We have to meet in real life again and move stuff in real life again. That's where the very fragile bodies of the billionaires are, not online.

Probably something like these

A new Piece of Shit system? I wouldn't expect any less from them after the previous blunder.

Oh, something is moving in Europe! Way to go, enough of this suffering.

But this time it's for a good cause!

Thank you, this needed saying! It would be nice if we could return to just playing music without worrying at all what genre it is.

Looks like an old-timey, not very good illustration. Top left: Parasol, Macrolepiota procera. Top right looks like some kind of bolete. Center are two kinds of Amanita. Middle right looks suspiciously like psylocibe

Interesting to mention also that their triangle player Egon Wurst was decapitated by a halberd during this fight while stabbing Mann with his triangle. They are so controversial that a German court ruled that their merch may not be worn in pre-schools and nursing homes!

a way to have an append only database with no centralized authority.

Thank you for finally making me understand blockchain.

As a non-technical person - how can I trust that there really is no centralized authority? Wouldn't whoever built the blockchain system retain some kind of power over it?

I feel this. I used to find computers and the promises of the internet exciting. Then things slowly turned into what they are now, and these days I often can only see everything computer as a layer of bullshit that has been put on top of the real world to keep us in a trance and not engage with reality anymore. But a lot of good things came from being connected as well. Maybe it's like growing up and finding out a beloved parent was after all slightly abusive. And then see them decline in old age and have their worse traits worsened even more.

Another image that comes to my mind frequently is that of the internet as the haunted shopping mall: It was once a shiny place, everyone went there, it was all the rage. Now most of the shops are boarded up, the few that are left seem rather dodgy, and the only visitors seem to be a bunch of drug addicts hanging out at the bottom of the out-of-service escalators.

Currently I'm a bit lost trying to return to my analog hobbies. I draw, I paint, I play music, I scratch the donkeys. I often don't have the energy I wish I had to do things other than sit at a screen. Takes time to get used to it again I guess.

People these days seem to believe "going to war" is similar to "going on holidays". Is this late stage ego shooter brain rot, or what exactly is going on lately?

Or maybe don't.

Before it was fashionable to call 'terrorists' or 'insurgents' to organizations the ruling government doesn't like, 'organized crime' would have been a common term applied to any organization posing as an alternative to said government.
