This is how they arrive on Earth.

ISS in orbit: 8km/s
Earth's solar orbit: 30km/s
Milky Way rotation: 210km/s
Great Attractor pull: 600km/s

We're always falling for something more attractive.
Happy #Valentinesday

All these sites are great. I love browsing through them and being reminded of the pre-corporate internet. People idly watching this thread and clicking on the "Show all the ads" link love them too.

And Improbable Island players still love seeing ads? Which is weird? But kinda interesting if you've seen 10,000 ads in your life and 9,999 of them were crap and suddenly there's a non-crappy one?

Anyway add your own website at https://www.improbableisland.com/hobbysites.php and please boost, I wanna see more cool sites!

I made a bot, @lexicmazes, which posts a daily perfect acyclic maze with words as walls, e.g.:

@2ck I don't think there's any particular feature of the fediverse for a video game besides the people. The walled gardens have entire demographics of people to cater to, but outside the walls, we're scattered.

I see this type of game being less of a game and more of tool to make games. If i'm understanding spritely and @cwebber's work, we should be able to build something akin to a de-centralized roblox.

i think that thought tracks with your suggestion for federating game events outward.

So I've always wanted to be a game dev, but like an indie game dev. I think I finally have an idea I want to build.

Currently thinking a game where players sign in with their fediverse account and can explore the fediverse. To use plain terms, imagine MMO Fedi RPG.

Each instance is like a planet in No Man's Sky. Only residents can build/delete there, like Stardew Valley.
When you're near people, you can chat with them and make new friends.

@cwebber long term, should I be thinking Spritely?

"Don't say it that way. Say it this way." "Am I always and only supposed to say it that way?"

What happens here, sometimes, especially if the moment is emotionally charged, is that the NT person thinks the ND person is being rude, exaggerating, trying to make their request sound stupid.

That is not true. The ND person has just been given a new rule with no parameters. They are trying to discover them by starting at the furthest end and seeing where they end up.

With translucent, jewel-colored ears, Glass Gem Corn was developed by Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee farmer and breeder from Oklahoma. Barnes crossed several traditional corn varieties and saved seed from the most vivid, translucent kernels. It was gifted to Native Seeds Search by Bill McDorman, who acquired it from Barnes' student Greg Schoen following Barnes' death.

A flint variety, it is used for making flour or as a popping corn.

Listened to Wells reading an excerpt and I rather enjoyed it. From the bit I heard, she has an interesting take on the interior life of an artificial being. I look forward to reading more.

The Library of Congress posted this story and image earlier today, dropping the story of how Gene fucked over Alexander Courage on the #StarTrek theme copyright/royalties.

“Raise your hand if you're a Star Trek fan. 🖖✋ Here's an interesting piece of trivia for you from the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed at the Library of Congress: Alexander Courage's original theme song was submitted for copyright under his name on November 7, 1966.
