This is like some sort of black mirror ad

Everything else went up due to tariffs

The tops of the clouds on the night side of Venus are about -45°C. So it’s not actually glowing like the image implies. But in infrared, you can reprocess the colours to make a delightful image like the above.

Well, I know you’re implying the greenhouse gases will kill us all. And that might be true, but probably not in ten years.

Depending on the carrot, the skin can be significantly more bitter. And sometimes peeling can be quicker than trying to scrub dirt out of particular lumpy carrots.

YMMV

Not as immersive but we have this little sound activated animatronic monster adjacent to the door, which typically goes off while they’re yelling trick-or-treat. One little girl ran off screaming this year. One girl tried to make friends with the monster, attempting to shake its hand…

Counterpoint: Sometimes you can kickstart a community that you want to see just by consistently posting content. !science_memes@mander.xyz is my favourite example – it was essentially one person who created that entire community (and it’s since been diversifying somewhat – at least there’s traction in the comments).

But to reinforce your point: I did !spacemusic@lemmy.ca and tried to do the same thing, but it sort of petered out. But it’s way way more niche.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Just engage with the content you like and build some places for content you’d like to see.

Excerpt from Oryx and Crake, by Margaret Atwood:

“This is the latest,” said Crake.

What they were looking at was a large bulblike object that seemed to be covered with stippled whitish-yellow skin. Out of it came twenty thick fleshy tubes, and at the end of each tube another bulb was growing.

“What the hell is it?” said Jimmy.

“Those are chickens,” said Crake. "Chicken parts. Just the breasts, on this one. They’ve got ones that specialize in drumsticks too, twelve to a growth unit.

“But there aren’t any heads…”

“That’s the head in the middle,” said the woman. “There’s a mouth opening at the top, they dump nutrients in there. No eyes or beak or anything, they don’t need those.”

That looks like a community centre entrance to me. Could be wrong :)

I think the line is just very long and the actual location is the building off in the distance.

If there are only two competitors for a product, then it is either a niche product or there is room for more competition, usually, who can use disruptive marketing.

The problem is, for very large markets, companies will abuse their position to prevent competition from forming. Coke and Pepsi should not be allowed to simply buy every new drink that comes to market.

Anyway, I digress. The government doesn’t have the balls to bust monopolies anymore.

It’s a fantastic photo 😍

Assuming it isn’t a fisheye lens, then the best reference is the fence and trees in the top left corner. Without that fence though I think it would be a lot harder :)

Making jelly out of our grapes. One plant produced 8kg of grapes this year, which meant 3L of juice. This froth is the cauldron where I’m boiling it with a metric fucktonne of sugar…

So, Stray?

The lighting bothers me. The froth was transient however and I didn’t really have time to adjust lighting.

Can’t remember. But it was worth a picture

When I ordered, the server comes up and says: we’re out of Nutella pie – can we substitute this other pie? And we basically burst into tears because it’s a cocktail topper pie slice…

In Canada, it’s just a Caesar. And literally no one orders a Bloody Marie here (Caesars are basically our national drink now). We have egregious overproduced version like the above as well. Took this photo of a menu in Vancouver.

This has a Toronto Island feel to it. Where is it?

Probably about 4mm across.

Needs some baked beans for scale. One baked bean spider in size.
