Damn a kinetic sculpture. I've never gotten huge into Lego, just like watching people build on YouTube. But this one I might consider.
Zebra mussels in this list?
This is where my mind went to.
Don't usually laugh out loud at work looking at my phone. People walking by wish they could be in on the joke.
What's really interesting is to look at the time scale when each our pets were first domesticated. Dogs domestication happened between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago, while the cat started becoming domesticted only 4000 years ago. Pretty crazy to think how much of a difference their is in the time it took each of them to become adaptive to human society. Makes you wonder what house cats will be like given the time frame dogs have had.
Ha! You think flat earthers believe we aren't the center of the universe?
This will be the new way I go to Minneapolis. For some reason that 5 hour drive always traps me into a false sense of security after getting past Eau Claire. You think your nearly there until you realize you still have 2 hours left.
Technically it has been, but it's hidden behind some interesting steps.

It was put in the Switch code as an Iwata Tribute.
More oddly is the fact that there is a picture of Jack on the banner for this article.
Gotcha. Still interesting information none the less

I've been on .world so I'm out of the loop on this one. What happened to .ml?
Hard to beat that Pixar money.
I didn't realize how strained their relationship must have been. The last time they spoke to one another was on a phone call. And it was a TV show. What a weird way to end things.
I hope this is the case. Im surprised it hasn't been from the beginning
I want to better understand this because the sky is clearly a specific color that has been there since the beginning.
How did proto humans not look up at the sky and considered in their feeble brains, "everything above the ground is this very unique color. It's different from the ground, and the plants."
I get that sea and lakes really don't look blue. But did they look up and not see some shade of blue on a clear day?
I hate to say it but I haven't been very active on lemmy, but I want to be
Hopefully things change once lemmy.world updates to 0.19 with scaled sorting. And maybe you guys and gals have some advice for fixing my issue.
To keep my feed fresh I subscribed to all the big communities full of memes. They do have engagement beyond funny jokes, but I'm tired of how political everything is.
I'm not trying to bury my head in the sand, on the contrary, im highly aware how much fascism has taken its grips on the world. But I don't need to be reminded everytime I'm on lemmy.
So I'm hoping once scaled sorting is on lemmy.world, the lemmyverse will transform. I hope I start seeing my hobbyist community come to life.
Or if people have recommendations for large communities not full of politics that works too. Maybe memes and shitposts aren't for me.

A public lecture from a scientist adding to the conversation. What makes this lecture interesting is he is not disproving that alien life can exist, but instead trying to curb expectations because of the little data we have to back up claims. More importantly is the message that it is important for scientists to be care of biases when discussing this topic.

Kurzgesagt took 4 years to put together this video. It's quite profound if you stick with it, with a great soundtrack. We really have been here in the blink of an eye.
Closure in Moscow - Soft Hell
A couple weeks behind, but life's been busy. Can't believe its been 9 years since Pink Lemonade! But this album was worth the wait. I absolutely love how his voice reminds me of Cedric Bixler-Zavala from the Mars Volta.
Rock music has been good lately.

It would be nice to give less active communities more weight in your subscribed feed
Lemmy is still small and growing, so trying to use your subscribed feed of smaller communities, mixed in with larger communities leaves you with a very uneven feed as your scroll. I like being subscribed to the largest Technology community, but also I am subscribed to the Movies and TV community. One is more active with posts and more comments, and the other is not so much. In this scenario, the current algorithms will always show a feed full of technology posts for pages, and you wont end up seeing Movies and TV until you scroll for a awhile.
I understand that the issues is, "The community isn't active enough". Fair. But could prioritizing smaller communities in the algorithm help these small communities become more active then?
If there was way for the subscribed feed to better spread out all of your subscribed communities over your front page, I think this would help smaller communities get more attention. Plus it would be nice to see my smaller communities showing up at the top of my feed. Instead it shows 5 Lemmy Shitposts, 5 Memes and 5 Technology posts, before I see anything else.
Im no programmer, so Im not going to act like I think this would be easy or possible, but I thought id throw this idea out there and maybe it will get some traction.
Starfucker - Always/Never
They haven't done anything innovative in a quite some time, but they are consistent. Still love their style and sound.
Yukon Blonde - Shuggie
So these guys have really travel across the genre-verse. I think their entire discography is great, but there has been a slow evolution of their sound over the years. I think its great a this band can keep up with quality and change after 14 years.
HONEYMOAN - Sorry Like You Mean It
Hailing from South Africa and giving us some neo-psychedelia you would expect from the Aussies.

Milwaukee mayor wants to double funding to fight against blight
On Tuesday, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson released his $1.9 billion budget proposal for 2024 at city hall.
Part of the plan calls for more than $3 million to be spent on the demolition of 180 vacant buildings next year.
"Buildings that are set to be razed, they need to come down. So, in a proposal that I'm calling, 'Raze and Revive,' my budget doubles funding for demolition," Johnson said.
Alderman Robert Bauman argued the money should be spent saving buildings, not tearing them down.
Home after home near 35th and Locust in Milwaukee sits empty.
"They're drawing crime, unwanted rodents," said Tony Mills, who lives nearby.
The vacant properties are boarded up with overgrown weeds and garbage littering lawns.
