@Jo this thing's just a chicken and it's impressive enough, imagine something like this but 6 meters tall

Ooh, Patek Phillipe Aquanaut in a nice olive drab-y colour

Not entirely sure about white gold for a field-y looking sports watch but let's face it it's not ever going to see anything approaching hard use

@maple pretty much!

I'll be geeking out for the next week, I'll make sure to CW all of it though

🐙 !!! BASELWORLD STARTS TOMORROW !!! 🐙

I'll be a very happy octopus seeing all the new watches that are coming out/being announced

usaians: oh, british accents are so suave and sophisticated!

"Sinn Féin criticised for 'England get out of Ireland' banner"

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-47601796

I... what? Have people somehow not been aware that "England shouldn't have political power over Ireland (specifically northern Ireland in this case)" is Sinn Féin's whole thing?

@revolverocelot we learnt a lot of lessons from chernobyl so it won't happen again

(admittedly most of those were "don't intentionally try to break the fucker" but still)

there needed to be an earthquake and tsunami for the last accident, that's pretty damn safe considering

@maple ooh, nice

also, manufacturer of the MAPL-1 by any chance?

@greenfediverse @noelle okay, that was maybe a little harsh

but your efforts would be far better spent on things other than making a spreadsheet and trying to shame people for not being able to suddenly switch all of their energy consumption to renewables

@greenfediverse @noelle one option for improving it is deleting the whole thing and writing it off as a bad idea

Is computerfairi.es powered by renewable energy? We have no idea, it's in a cloud somewhere

What we do know is that @maple is powered by batteries

@noelle @Jo I mean, I know there are some instances where the admins should go to the nearest power station and apologise for how they've used the gift of electricity but what?

I love how all these manufacturers of tiny feature phones market them as "low radiation!" instead of "it's tiny and we couldn't figure out where to put a decently sized aerial"

@Jo also everyone's kinda already opted in to a shared blocklist, the instance-wide moderation one

@maple especially maple!

clothing made out of nanometer scale magnetic core memory

"oh damn, I saved that file on my other jacket"
