Perhaps well known, but if you're looking for amazing wall art, the NASA Exoplanet series is fantastic (exoplanets.nasa.gov)

This is a poster series in a retro style. They look fantastic in large prints. The space telescope series is also on the page. I personally adore the JWST poster and have a large print of it in canvas form: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/2294/james-webb-space-telescope-poster/?layout=magic_shell&travel_bureau=true&cid=4,travel_bureau_missions

Just sitting here realizing .... is the fediverse going to make me smarter?

I've been here a few weeks and instead of watching outrage content that makes me pace around my house, I've been listening to podcasts on morality and rationality and taking sci-fi (emphasis on SCI) space tours made by NASA.

Anyways thanks for posting this. New to me!

I had the same thought. There are no algorithms for engagement, there's minimal political agenda pushing, and nobody is getting monetized for the content they make...

Is this, home? This feels like the old internet again.

Lemmy is currently overrepresented by more tech inclined peoples who I suppose have less interest in that sort of thing. You can't scroll very far without something to do with programming or Linux, but honestly I'm not complaining.

Short answer: yes

Longer answer: anything that gets you out of your comfort zone will expand your box of interests. Choose wisely your time.
