@sean In the middle of the summer, when the sun goes down and the day cools down nicely as well... you'll find plenty of those blasted plant-eaters in my garden. :P
One day I'd had it with the gajillion snails in my garden and decided to take one long dark evening with a flashlight to catch all snails I can find.
Pleeeeenty of copulating snails too, and my gloves were terribly slippery at the end of the hunt!
Afterwards, the amount of plant damage was reduced drastically, though. :D
Yeah, I'm not really a romantic.. :P
@bonifartius Heh, I moved from TAN codes via SMS to a banking app too. I actually find this convenient, since it's all scanning the QR code now.
@bonifartius Security live action role playing?
@freemo I hope 20 lightyears (the closest star from that constellation) is far enough to keep us safe. :P
Had a chat with a coworker yesterday about how in world maps the African continent doesn't seem that very huge, while we're both pretty aware that Africa is actually bigger than it seems.
I was vaguely aware that the curvature of the Earth isn't really helping matters much, but there seems to be a little bit more to it according to this site:
https://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/18/africa/real-size-of-africa/index.html
Also, even though I was aware that some countries/continents were smaller/bigger than what they seem like on maps, I wasn't really prepared for that huge a difference! Greenland, for example, is actually just a very small part of Africa's size!
Some other sites with some nice visual info about this topic:

My country is even tinier than I thought! 😋
@shadomeson Flawed in what way? It keeps scrolling from new posts? In that case turning on Slow Mode might help.
@academicalnerd ugh, that sucks. Get well soon!
@mur2501 Good thing I barely use those services then. Telegram ftw for me atm.
@shadomeson Tried the advanced mode yet?
If people are wondering what kind of puzzle games I usually play.. uh.. well this would be one of those. :P

@freemo Champignon creme. ;) There are tiny chunks in it I think, but they're too small to bother. Even those croutons are bigger.
@freemo And I respond to your objection with getting a Cup-a-Soup Champignon!
Nyah!
@freemo Amazingly vile, indeed! I've tried eating them, cooking 'em up and stuff. Nothing tastes good.
The only time I like mushrooms is in a champignon creme soup. Those can be delicious! I always fish out the solid chunks first if they happen to have those. :P
@freemo Having an icky texture and tasting slimier than a politician?
@freemo I'm pretty sure it's not the mushrooms. I hate mushrooms, see. :P
@freemo Damn, what drugs. I want to know so I can take it again next time! Y'know, for science!
@freemo Dunno about the expanding part. But the image starts to have a cool 3D effect when I stare at the middle for too long.
@sean So did I. 😫
@ianmacd Ieuw. Die man lijkt me zo onstabiel als wat. Zijn uil lijkt me nogal verdwaald.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
