@b4ux1t3 I'd look for "macabre art". I'm not aware of a particular period.

Fascinating advertising tactic in the insurance business: insult the people you don't want as customers because they're the ones who would cost you more money.

The acronym "GOAT" stands for "greatest of all time" and means "greatest so far" especially when referring to a challenge that didn't exist 100 years ago.

Left: Tuna Fishing by Salvador Dalí (1966-1967). It's 3 by 4 meters!
Right: Day and Night by M.C. Escher (1938).
Your job is to find the Escher birds in the Dalí painting.

@SirDockBunson this is nice. The combination of fractal imagery and the human body reminds me of Tuna Fishing by Dali https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna_Fishing_(painting)

@Lana interesting. I'd consider sprinkling the stars all around like fairy dust or something.

@freemo it's funny that on either side, two-thirds think their favorite will win.

Mon père était à la télé dans l'émission "C'est toujours pas sorcier" (à 9:50 et à 2 reprises après) : https://www.france.tv/france-4/c-est-toujours-pas-sorcier/saison-6/5623608-d-ou-vient-le-fer.html

My dad was on TV talking about meteorite iron found in archaeological artifacts prior to the iron age. They know it's from meteorites due to the high nickel content not found in ordinary iron objects.

@pussreboots I'm not autistic but I'm really curious about this. Do you mean the liquid, the powder, the plastic bottles, or something else?

@jason for identification purposes, you should get a forum that covers your area + a book. For California, these Facebook groups are great:
- The California Mushroom Identification Forum https://www.facebook.com/groups/773465569365150: identification only
- Mushroom Hunters of California https://www.facebook.com/groups/641409629313635: anything else about wild mushrooms

Then there are groups devoted to specific activities around mushrooms (eating, growing, ...) or specific mushrooms. Amanita Muscaria Science and Magic https://www.facebook.com/groups/amanitascienceandmagic is an interesting one.

@freemo no, they believe in word violence too.

First piece of 2024! Here's some music I was listening to, a cover of Depeche Mode's Somebody by hante: https://youtu.be/l84NU2ZWo9I

@phonner it's so much easier with complex numbers, though.

@toiletpaper @freemo I noticed that most cops are way better at staying calm than I am. So, thankfully, I live in a wealthy neighborhood that doesn't require gates or guns.

@toiletpaper @freemo idk man, you don't want me to point a gun at you, you're still safer when it's done by a cop.
(me = random example of someone who's not interested in learning how to use a gun and therefore should probably not have to use one until that day comes)

@mannios heh. The origin of the word "humble" is based on a similar idea as well: https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=humble
