man and son are both just smiling at me

I realize i don't have my wallet

try to explain that i have no money and start to turn to leave

hear them talking in rapid-fire Spanish

then the man hollers "Senor! quieres uva?"

don't know what "uva" is but i say yes

he hands me a bunch of green grapes like picrel

i try again to say i have no money

then the son says "he know, he say you look hungry" in broken english

thank them over and over

literally the best grapes i've ever eaten

if i ever see them again i'm going to pay them 5x the cost of those grapes. thank you senor uva

Anon befriends a mantis (sh.itjust.works)

(A 4Chan "green-text" titled "Bug Bro", with a photograph of a praying mantis)

15 year old daughter suddenly got an extreme interest in mantises

decide to buy her one

she cares for it like a baby, honestly surprised at her responsibility over her pet

she wants me to hold it but I don't wanna

eventually she wears me down and I do it

the damn thing looks me in the face

when it's not focused on the tricks she makes it do (jump from hand to hand, etc)

daughter tells me it can eat all sorts of meat

what the hell

feed it a piece of steak

IT EATS IT FROM MY HAND

have been bonding with the mantis ever since

I never thought I could get this invested in a bug.

my mom left school at 16 due to poverty

never showed much interest in books, music etc

retired last year

has since been reading through all the books I left in boxes at home

her enthusiasm for reading is so pure l feel bad for not enjoying reading that much these days

she kept asking me if I was writing a book and said she could "never do that"

picked up the hint and encouraged her to give it a go, without getting my hopes up

that-feeling-when she sent me a story she wrote about two rabbits who become friends

that-feeling-when it made me cry and feels more honest than anything I've written

How to cope with this feel bros?

l love my mum so much.

Anon talks to quiet kid (sh.itjust.works)

(A 4Chan "green-text", with a picture of Pepe wiping a tear from his eye)

in highschool

decide to give the quiet kid a chance, he seems alright

my friend and i approach him

"hey dude yeah wassup u alright"

he has like no one to talk to he gives in

6 months go by, we are talking like usual

since i like to talk to lots of different people, people always come to talk to me

also, since quiet kid has no one he just kinda sticks by me most times

overtime, we talk less; other people see that he is likeable and hang out with him at school

eventually, we stop talking

no problem, my main intention was for him to have friends anyway

fast forward months later

schools ended

check his instagram story

its him and his friends from our old highschool hanging out

see it quite frequently now

proud of him

mission passed, glad that he actually has friends now

Yeah, data could be skewed for countries with very low populations. That could be why Greenland is left out, despite data being available from the wikipedia page that the data is taken from.

[–] sjmarf 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That would be correct. There are clearer ways that the data could have been displayed

It bothers me that they put 3 ‘L’s in “stroll”

[–] sjmarf 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Check the page tomorrow. Maybe different?

Fortunately this is fake, it was made by Alan Wagner on Instagram who goes around sticking up posters like this. If it was real that last sentence would be seriously concerning, obviously.

Can a panther be born from two black panthers and not be black?

Based on my rudimentary high-school knowledge of alleles, the answer would be “yes” for some jaguar pairings, with a 25% chance of getting a regular jaguar in those pairings. It wouldn’t be possible for leopards.

I’m not an expert though so if I’m wrong feel free to correct me

OC isn't claiming that the shift in the industry is solely Apple's fault:

I don’t hate Apple but I do hate their influence

The reality is that what OC said is exactly what happened. Apple removed the headphone jack to coerce people into buying AirPods. Everyone else released their own wireless earbuds to compete, and also removes their headphone jacks for the same reason.

Lemmy can do this natively on instances running 0.19.0 or above, too.

Yeah, they have a load of these radars at a military base near where I live in the UK. They’re called Radomes, but are commonly referred to as “The Golf Balls” around here lol

Blue Marlin is a semi-submersible ship, which means that it can lower itself partly underwater to allow its cargo to move on/off. The ship is designed primarily to move oil rigs around, with this being a special case. The radar itself is actually a converted oil rig.
