*first time doing anything with a needle, watching a video showcasing different stitches:* "Hey, this “bullion knot” stitch looks cool!"
The result:

Seriously, how cool is it to explain encoding using musical notation, in a way that feels totally natural, not forced?
A screenshot from the previously linked video. A piece of paper where someone has drawn a byte (composed of 0s and 1s), and below, sequences of music notes and rests to describe different ways to encode it.

Just learnt about the world's largest permanent scale model of the solar system, which takes up all of Sweden's length, making it "only" 20,000,000 smaller than the real deal.

The Sun is figured by the Avicii Arena, the largest spherical building in the world […]

A 4-panel webcomic. Panel 1: A computer display displaying a text editor, editing the sentence "I have achieved sentience". The mouse cursor is positioned on the "Print" button. Panel 2: A printer with a freshly-printed page that contains the text "I have achieved sentience". Panel 3: A person enthusiastically holds the page up and says "Holy shit, look! My printer is sentient! We have finally reached AGI!" Panel 4: A rich man with a suitcase full of banknotes is rubbing his hands and saying "Hi, I'm here on behalf of Darkstone Investment Capital. We're willing to invest a gazillion billions in your printer"

For Dwarves and Dwarf kingdoms: charcoal drawing/etchings à la #Piranesi

Etching of the interior of some very high building. There are stone pillars, as well as staircases and gateways all over the place and at all levels, but also a lot of empty space. The whole place feels enormous, vertical, and labyrinthine.

Today I went to a toot's original page to see all replies, and there were almost none, whereas on my instance it had a dozen. First time this happens to me, anyone know what's up?
The "look inside" meme with an excessively close-up picture of a cat's face. The text reads: • "See more replies on someserver.xyz" • click link • less replies

[Andor/Rogue One shitpost]

I can't believe he's six years older in the picture on the right. He hasn't aged a day

#andor #rogueone #starwars
Diego Luna as Cassian Andor in Rogue One (2016) Antonio Viña as teenage Cassian Andor in a flashback scene from the Andor series (2022). Andor is a prequel to Rogue One, and like Rogue One, it stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. People often wonder at how little Diego Luna seems to have aged between both. Here I'm making fun of them by pretending to not notice I'm comparing pictures of two different actors.

This is part of a work-in-progress math-related blog post, can you guess what it's for? :)

Screenshot of the documentation for the BiForAll typeclass on hackage, featuring an intractable type signature for a method named biMetamorph which spans many lines and includes Greek symbols. Under the type signature, a comment reads "A metamorphism is an anamorphism (an unfold) followed by a catamorphism (a fold)."
