WOW! The level of detail in this edible creation is absolutely breathtaking. Larissa May has a phenomenal talent for translating intricate embroidery textures into stunning confectionery designs that I want to devour! “Evil Eye Heart Cake” #beautifulbizarre #evileyecake #cake #art

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’ “A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles” BELGIAN WHISTLES

Every one of these people is a troll. Literally, a troll - trolls historically hated Lizard People; there were huge battles for thousands of years. So they like the idea because Lizard People are cold blooded and become sluggish in Greenland. Easy targets.

TIL "TDB" is "Barycentric Dynamical Time", a time scale related to your local time-of-day via some math. Barycentric means: the average solar day on earth, as would be measured *at the center of gravity of the solar system* 😵‍💫 btw planets go around & the solar system center moves in/out of the sun

Watching a software demo video, the person was dragging windows around but put one where I couldn't see a thing, so I tried to drag it out of the way. Maybe it's time to go outside

If this wasn't an 80's song somebody needs to make a 2020's song

The leaders of Japan and South Korea strengthen ties by playing K-pop songs on the drums. A+ no notes

"Music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp." Judged how? I know a musician who makes a 45-60 minute album a week for years, 6-8 tracks each. Creators know: that's a lot! I suspected AI. Researched & they're experienced & focused, not AI. 👍

lol

he makes a robot to butter toast, but it's sentient, and has to live with the fact that its purpose is to butter toast. it's funny because it's relatable. except instead of buttering toast, your purpose is to make your parents less afraid that they're going to die some day

i'll say it's unintended consequences 🤡 ✨ 💀

Chanting, but not quite chanting; a guttural hum with hard puffs between. The sun was going down but the sky seems lighter. Cloud rings form above.

"Scientists Discover Oldest Poison, on 60,000-Year-Old Arrows" Not oldest if humans had a language before 60k years ago.

small PSA: (cw: gun violence) Years ago, I saw a shooting. It was via video & happened many miles from me, but in real time. The experience of watching people get shot IRL does not go away. It's not like a game or a movie or TV. You might change. Watch it if you have to, but do you? Think first.

a town is patient, not sleeping fish churches with full pews, everyone there is floating in a dry year, a little more lifts out; stones say "is this it?" another decade, another & buildings don't blink suddenly - heat! drought! a wall no boats only footprints later, boats again. fishers, men

Timeline cleanse: the kindest town in North America is at it again.

Second, and probably most importantly, it's tactically wrong. "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway" cedes victory to your enemies. It's defeatism and nihilism.

I’ve long thought that one of the many problems with Society Today is that so many people think so many other people’s jobs are easy.

Every time humans behave terribly the wind should have something to say about it. There should be a great deafening wind for days afterwards that leave no question in anyone’s minds that we have upset the order of things

I was born here, in the little cave behind water. I still hear the sshhhh when I close my ears. We came out in the woods to feed at night, starlight so tasty, fill up on moonray. I once saw a silver fish jump right up and over! We laughed at bears more times than I can count, "whuff whuff where??"

In 1604, people saw a new bright star. Johannes Kepler (a German scientist) studied it & wrote about it - a new supernova. 396 years later, NASA's Xray telescope started taking pictures (explosion was so hot the cloud glows Xrays for 400 years). 25 years of pictures = a cool time-lapse movie:

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

Did you know if you are holding your jacket and get out of the car and accidentally close the door on the jacket arm and the driver doesn't immediately stop it only takes about 15 feet of driving for the jacket to burst into feathers. I am always learning something new

If anybody needs me I’ll be in my lab working out how we can have clothes that work like bird outfits where the feathers floof in the cold and unfloof in the heat.

I tried to do something on my cell phone provider's website, and it makes me think the web team managers must hold stock in some big alcohol companies.

It sounds like this has low chance of actually preventing face recognition. But could it protect your eyes from LIDAR on cars? 🤔Safety info on the web is mixed, to say the least.

Two men (50s?) in plaid shirts and shorts are chatting hunting, fishing and the weather before one says in a thoughtful tone: "Hey mate, d'you know what Fred does?" The other shakes his head. "Nope. Never asked. I was worried he might tell me!" (5)
