Oh shit, turns out !hybridanimals@lemm.ee exists. If anyone has ideas for animal hybrids to photoshop, suggest away

I think with this carton you can get a weight-balanced arrangement for any number of eggs except one and seventeen. So whatever you do at the start and end of the carton, it better involve at least two eggs

Is that sort of wrestling actually a sport? It seems like anything with scripted results is more of a stage play to me. Which is totally fine if that’s what someone wants to go see, it’s essentially just the theatre counterpart to an action movie

I think a lot of us rugby fans who see American football try to watch it like rugby too. The impression I get from talking to Americans is that going to the football is a day out (or in) wth friends and you’re only actively watching sometimes with regular breaks for food and the like

Well sometimes it’a fun to see people be really good at things, and sometimes it’s fun to get invested in something with other people

Doing your own sports is good, obviously, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive unless you’re completely out of free time

Alright @Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world @Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com @Flax_vert@feddit.uk here we go. I picked up some of my cat Alaric’s favourite treats so we could get that authentic “give me food” sound as I kept them away from him.

I went with a virtual amp instead of the actual pedals so that I could show the exact same clips with and without amplification. I tried replicating something like the two pedals that are visible, but I couldn’t get it to work with the stuff that I already have so I just went ahead and dialed in a general death metal-ish tone of high drive distortion > Marshall JCM 900 with the mids scooped > a little tiny bit of reverb > a 4x12 cab. The clip has ten seconds of guitar recorded straight into the computer, the exact same guitar clip but with the amp turned on, then Alaric, and then the same clip of Alaric but amplified. Headphones warning, it is quite loud

Also a picture of the star vocalist, of course

Your dream of pasta and soup is real and it is beautiful, it’s just called pho

I am personally a big fan of Voices of the Past and Fall of Civilisations.

Voices is very specific in what it does. It doesn’t actually give you a historian’s perspective, it’s strictly primary sources translated into English and then read out as-is. Since it makes absolutely no attempt to account for material evidence or the biases of the authors it is much more about the perspective of individuals from the time than recounting accurate history, but I think that’s very interesting

As its name suggests, Fall focusses on the end of civilisations, ranging from the Greenland Norse and Rapa Nui to Han China and Byzantium.

It doesn’t hurt that the speakers in both have very pleasant voices

I have a cat, a mic, and pedals. I’ll leave this comment as a reminder for myself to come back later once I’m done working and see if I can get the house-panther to do some vocals

To be honest I’d expect that’s just someone’s interpretation of the huge amount of maintenance any jetfighter (not just the F-35, any modern one) needs. It’s like five person-hours of maintenance per hour of flight. They’re just incredibly complicated machines that can’t really afford for stuff to fail. If Israel is flying them a whole bunch, they’ll need to maintain them proportionately

Well hey, it’s quite easy to do! I used Shotcut’s filters, which is free

Conversely, Chad > Tchad and Czechia > Tchéquie

They didn’t, alphabetical order in French is the protocol in question. The USA’s name in French is États-Unis, putting it much earlier in the alphabet than it would be in English. Since France and Finland (both still start with F in French) were in the front row, we know that États-Unis would be too

It’s more like it’s called rapeseed for long. It used to just be called “rape”, but people wanted to distinguish the name from the other meaning and it’s mostly the seeds we grow it for

Oddly enough it’s a total coincidence that they are homonyms. The plant’s name comes from the Latin name for turnip, rapum

Vines’ version of MGMT’s Kids

Her style is a super stripped-down one with almost all instrumentation just being her voice through a vocoder. This cover includes a bit more traditional instrumentation than usual for her work, but it’s still quite stark next to the original. It comes across as very pensive, which I think works nicely with the lyrics
