That's cool. With that amount of information you could make a whole fictional encyclopedia for your furry sci-fi SCP world.

To play devil's advocate (but not really because I actually like brutalist architecture), brutalism can look ugly and depressing, sure, but does not have to. I find that brutalist buildings go remarcably well with vegetation. See:

I remember a similar post where someone introduced their autistic cousin to Frasier only to meet the guy some time later and see that he had basically turned into Frasier.

Yup. As far as I know the placental mammals on Australia arrived there much later so the marsupials had already filled most available niches at that point.

So, you know how most Australian mammals are marsupials (the ones with a pouch)? Well, the fossil record suggests marsupials first arose in the Americas and later went on to reach Australia around 50 million years ago, probably just one lucky small species that later would become kangaroos, koalas, tasmanian devils and a bunch of other fun dudes. The thing is, as far as we're aware, the timeline of events means they got to Australia after it got separated from the rest of Gondwana with two interesting implications:

First, that they got there through rafting, which means a couple individuals crossed some expanse of ocean on top of some floating vegetation or whatever and ended up being lucky enough to survive till they landed on a new continent. Interestingly, that's also the main theory on how (non-human) primates got from Africa to South America.

Secondly, that they migrated from South America to a not-yet-frozen-Antarctica and only then to Australia, which means all their friends who lived on Antarctica and were lucky enough to not end up in the middle of the ocean on top of some floating tree trunk ended up unknowingly condemning their descendants as the continent slowly drifted southwards and completely froze up around 10 million years ago.

That reminds me of this meme

I don't know how safe it is to use but man, their reverse image search has always impressed me. Miles better than Google's or Tineye's.

I've been tricked, I've been backstabbed and I've been, quite possibly, bamboozled!

The original OpenOffice is no longer in development. LibreOffice is an active fork of that.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me a man pushing a large boulder up a steep hill

Ooh boy, do I have some good news for you!

Rogueli*es

Very nice.

Now let's see Paul Allen's numbers.

Why are there lighthouses in Wyoming

I'm either still young or just a contrarian but so far I've successfully managed to avoid becoming this person. I constantly look for new stuff to experience and I still haven't felt like things have peaked. As in, no, I don't think music nowadays sucks, are you insane? There's so much cool stuff being made all the time that my only complaint is that don't have enough time to experience it all.

Now they gotta let Brazil and Suriname get in as well. French Guiana ftw.

Nowadays people seem to have moved on from Nickelback. Lately it seems Imagine Dragons has taken their place as the butt of these jokes.

I still think the 2017 logo was their best, like a nice middle ground between this version and the current one:

That Frutiger Aero aesthetic they had going on there felt so futuristic.
