@evie ooh, that does look good

@maple oh cool, didn't know it did that, I was expecting some mess of spreadsheets or something

@maple are you going by who's paying in more than $5 a month or by who's in the tier

'cause if it's the former I might be one of them but you've already made me a lovely octopus tiny

@Jo it would

it would mean they couldn't come up with anything believable as propaganda

us brits being the most civil online I ask you

canadians coming top I might believe, but us?!

@InspectorCaracal yeah, they must be discounting sarcasm in those rankings

@maple us brits should be way lower on that list, we're all snarky gits

you fucking what mate?

@maple entine!

which totally sounds like a pokemon now I think about it like that

turpentine, the solvent pokemon

"damn cheap aldi tools"

"...pretty sure the rust has more to do with it not working than the build quality"

@maple ooh, good question

closest thing I can think of at the moment are those blind spot mirrors you can get for car side mirrors, but they're about 50mm diameter

@mplouffe@scholar.social it's got a screwed bezel and is a bit bigger now but yeah, it is mostly the same for the past 100 years

@maple yay! I expect to see selfies! and many other pictures!

@maple if you found yourself using the instax I can certainly see you using the mavica what with pictures not costing the earth for film and being more easily shareable

@maple hmm, yeah, that is the issue really, same problem I have with polaroid cameras

if you had a camera with you do you think you'd end up taking more photos of stuff?

think it's probably best to think about it as "would I get enough use out of a standalone camera to warrant it"

@maple I'm being supportive!

quite possibly not in the right direction but it's support!

@maple would you like me to talk you into it or talk you out of it?

they are super cool

you don't need a floppy disk-based camera

🦔 !

this one's living in the hedgehog house I made earlier this year!

Here's the world's first pilot's watch

Made by Louis Cartier for his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, who was also the first person to fly a plane without wind- or hill-assisted bullshit

It's also credited with being one of the timepieces that first popularised wristwatches for men, previously the wristwatch was classed as a feminine piece of jewellery with men wearing pocket watches
