If your take is snarky and/or spiteful, maybe it isn't a worthwhile take.

Oh, wow. 😬 (Translation in alt text.) #Insects

Screenshot from an article by Spektrum.de:

"Insects: The Return of the Heavyweight

New Zealand’s weta are the heaviest grasshoppers on Earth and are among the most massive insects of all. This makes them a popular prey. Yet one species is defying extinction."

Chatting with Amazon feels like having a chat with the very first person after having taken people hostage. There's more - Don’t worry! - Your enquiry is very important to me! - I’ll look into it straight away! - Please don’t worry! - I don’t want to let you down! - Sorry to have kept you […]

I played a lot of regular #basketball in my youth, but never really enjoyed watching it for long, at least not on TV. I also don't like how highlight videos are presented. In football (⚽), you can (sadly) get away with just showing important scoring attempts, but in basketball, it just feels […]

We got a bunch of foreign sweets, one of them being (tiny) Oreo chocolate bars from China. If I understand the translation correctly, it emphasizes multiple times, that the product contains at least 9% of *foreign* cocoa. The way it's presented makes me assume that it's some kind of quality […]

Woke up at night thinking: "Oh wow, I'm starting to get recurring dreams." Then thought about what I was actually dreaming. Turns out, I was dreaming about having recurring dreams. I can't remember what the recurring dreams in my dream were about, though. Brains are wild, man. 😄 #Dreams #Dreaming

I recently learned that it's quite easy to grow sprouts yourself, so this is my "harvest" of mung-bean sprouts. After less than six days, this is the yield from 40g of mung beans, grown in a beverage carton. :) I'll probably only make half that much next time. 😄 […] [Original post on chaos.social]

One annoying neighbour can make people move away, but one quiet & considerate neighbour won't make people stay. Few loud people can drive away people from spaces in a way that easily outcompetes the pull of the reasonable ones. Or, in a more general and more dramatic way: It's easy to poison a […]

If the new neighbour has to speak that loudly on the phone every evening, she might at least have the courtesy to speak a language I can understand. After all, I might get invested into the exciting stories!

Lots more small birds from the neighborhood and this time it looks like each one gets their own individual hotel room. #birds

A photograph of two pieces of temporary metal fencing, like are used around building sites, in front of a brown wooden apartment building. Almost every square of the metal grid in the fence has a single, tiny, light brown bird sitting inside.

In theory, microblogging should be one of the best ways to form meaningful connections online.
