@linjaaho She's a real cutey. I don't see calico cats very often.

@linjaaho Wait, she's got a short curly tail? I'd love to see that! Especially when that is the reason for calling her a piglet! :D

@HackerBean@noc.social @mur2501

Okay, internet search to the rescue. Indians are weird people. ;)

Although I did like the video of 2 JCB machines playing tic-tac-toe together. That was amusing.

@HackerBean@noc.social It's just that I'm always confused. It's my permanent state!

@mur2501 Damn, that snake handler did that smoothly, picking up that huge cobra.

Also, did they arrest the optician yet?

Somebody must've been around to give those baby cobras monocles! 😋

@mur2501 I'm definitely confused.
@HackerBean@noc.social

@rz Lol, oh man that's a terrible shadow. 😂

@mur2501 :blobcatsad:
I'm of opinion that everywhere needs to adapt in rigorous ways.

For example, I'm living in a country that's half below sea level. We'll probably face floods in the future. So we have to make an intricate network of waterways.

See, the trend was that in the last century we had been changing canals into roads. Filled 'em up and made cars go over them.

I think we need to change them back into canals again, control the water so they won't control us in the near future.

I think the same concept applies to your country. Maybe you need a canal network so that in case of too much rain the water can go away easier, and in case of too little rain there's water available.

Not sure how well that'd work if it's bloody hot and stuff could evaporate, but I'm thinking along those lines of drastic changes of infrastructure to survive the climate change.

@thor

@mur2501 Yeah, I skimmed through it a bit. Looks like a pretty hard life at the moment.

Even our technologically advanced farmers are having a lot of trouble dealing with the drought during the summers.

For example, we got tiny potatoes this year. Not really a huge issue, since they're edible and we get our food. And likely they get compensated too by the EU. But it goes to show that it affects us all worldwide.

@thor
A drizzling rain 242 days a year?

Ye gods, that's probably worse.
I'm not decided yet...

POURING rain or -drizzling- rain..

Eh, I'll stay where I am. ;)

Your town is singletownedly able to flood my whole country. :blobcatshocked:

@thor

@mur2501

After checking around a little, I've come to the following conclusion for my country:

We have on average about 800mm a year of precipitation. That hasn't changed significantly over time.

My area is a little over 190 days a year some sort of precipitation. That means that every month at least half of it has had some sort of rain/hail/snow/whatever.

It's also getting extremer. Summers are starting to be extremely dry while winters are getting wetter than ever.

@mur2501 @thor

What is a meme?

Get drunk and go look in a mirror!

@mur2501 Ok yeah, that's really a shitton of rain. I'd have moved away from that! 😋

What about that area in the far east? Taht seems to be a perpetual rainy area as well. Another mountain range blocking the clouds?

@thor

@mur2501 Is at the other side of the western ghats mountains dry?

If so, you're living on the wrong side of that mountain range!

@thor

@mur2501 We'll just make a floating island of that plastic soup and live on there!

Giant plastic rafts!

WATERWORLD! HERE WE COME!

(And us Dutchies have a natural advantage in this!)

@thor

@thor That's easy. Our underground keeps sinking a little every year. Not a joke. The cement fundaments of my house is visible, like 10 cm out. When this place was built in the 60's the streets and walkways were definitely higher.

We're sinking. Literally!
