@Catvalente@wandering.shop I think the complete Grimms' Fairy Tales has more than one, but the one that stuck in my memory is Godfather Death: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm044.html

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social Yes, I watched Gravity when it became available on a streaming platform I had access to, anyway.

@murz@elekk.xyz Yes, one of the almost round ones, and several sets of d10 & 0d10 or however you write it.
Also a d1000 made after the latter's principle. Or maybe d10000, I forget XD

I enjoy knowing enough Latin to understand that "saxifraga" means "stone-breaking"

I think it needs some silver accents. Or maybe a unicorn airbrush painting. But even without, extremely nice!

@lich_silvae@masto.fediverse.games Another idea would be putting your name/copyright in the metadata of the image before uploading, but signatures are probably more reliable (I don't know which platforms would remove metadata)

@ninawillburger Is it archaeology if it has been in use until recently?

@futurebird@sauropods.win
@futurebird And there is one species of jumping spider that has a like 80-90% herbivorous diet because they mostly feed on ant energy bars.
That species is names bagheera kiplingi, which amuses me for no end.

@peterb@mathstodon.xyz I blew a younger colleague's mind last week by telling him that downloading a not-great-quality mp3 took like 15 minutes, and the Windows installer was ~13 MB and came on 9 disks... (obviously later than 80s, but still, it was funny)

I doodled Hornet sitting on a frog chair, which I had in my mind for months, since it came up in the first stream when @samikelsh@mastodonapp.uk started playing Silksong and speculated about the crafting system and being able to craft a frog chair...

@MarthaCrimson@mastodon.art intensive care medicine if you're raising the dead out of principle, or because you want this particular dead to be as close to alive as you can get them for personal reasons.
Experimental archaeology if you're doing it so you can ask them questions about the past, or otherwise learn about the past.

I asked Wikipedia, and jute is a genus in the mallow family.
And burlap is a type of cloth that can be woven from jute or sisal and possibly other plant fibres.

@jay @s0 Was going to say that, for real post "offices" in Germany.
Sometimes they partner with a shop instead of setting up their own location, though, and just today I went to a place that was a post office, and also sold a lot of gift items, art supplies, puzzles and board games, and helium-filled gift balloons XD

@davidnjoku yeah. I was enjoying most of what I saw, but hearing one of the astronauts say that it's important the US take the lead in space exploration was icky. (I don't remember the exact wording.)

I spent a lot of the day tidying and sorting. More than I'd like was the kind of sorting that causes rather little *visible* progress, but I also got one corner of my living room to a state I like, and the sorting led to some stuff getting boxed to get rid of, or in recycling or trash.
