  • My city’s been changing so much as of late that I often get this feeling just going places that I haven’t seen for over 5 years. All people talk about is how much construction is happening over in the bougie part of town (most of which was farmland like 30 years ago), but damn if the rest of the city isn’t seeing redevelopment too. We’re not like a super popular or populous city either so I have no idea where all this cash is coming from

    Clearly the resident doesn’t make it easy. 100% they should anyway, put him in a temp cage or something, but still. I’m also not sure if the neighboring cage on the right is occupied or if that yellow thing is a toy, but it looks a lot cleaner


  • Anything that lives creates things that are toxic to itself. It’s a waste product. Or shit.

    The problem isn’t our existing, not even just the scale at which we do, but the methods we choose to use to do it. I’m pretty sure we could have 8 billion people sustainably and comfortably living here, maybe even many more, but we do it by investing in solar and wind, maybe nuclear, maybe whatever isn’t burning coal and gas. And we, as a society, are simply choosing not to.

    Besides, life will go on for a while without us, at least a few billion years probably. Even if some of us survive, I wonder what the trajectory is for human intelligence during a mass extinction event. Will we still be interested in the stars? Or maybe a more good natured intelligence evolves here from like octopuses or something and decides to look up. It’d be cool if a descendent of Earth could survive the Sun dying, anyway


  • As best I can find it’s an art installation in Wisconsin.

    I know some skaters are daredevils but I think this would be too much for even them to try. You’d need a huge downhill to first get enough speed to make the loop, then you’d have to hop like 3+ feet up onto the fairly narrow tabletop at the perfect moment while already going crazy fast. Not to mention how tight the loop is (but you can’t really tell in the OP, I only saw that in the thing I linked).

    Like, I’ve been watching a lot of Andy Anderson vids lately, and he’s great and all, but ain’t no way
