@Elizafox I was expecting anything other than naked pictures

It's like when anyone posts an image claiming to be "their ass" I always assume it's a picture of a donkey

@ajroach42 I'd probably put that more in the wrist-mounted gadget category than a watch but that's cool as hell

@ajroach42 digital watches are still good, casio actually still makes a bunch of their more retro designs, might be worth looking at those

@ajroach42 Oh yeah, the SNK809 has a clear caseback so you can see the movement from the back, that'll get you hooked if nothing else will seeing all those little gears moving around

@ajroach42 That's how it starts

I mostly buy new because vintage is a minefield

If you're after a mechanical watch then Seiko is a good start, the Seiko SNK809 is pretty much everyone's first automatic, they're great value and you can find them for £70-80

Or if you want a dive watch there's the SKX007 which is about 200 quid, fully rated for diving, and in my opinion looks pretty damn nice

@squirrel @bea I really want to see this

@squirrel

@squirrel okay, yeah, those are a fantastic addition

@squirrel There's , what else do we need?

@kimmie@mastodon.social @SarcasmKid Of course it's a hoax

It's actually "intelligent falling" where the Flying Spaghetti Monster uses his noodly appendages to push everything down back towards the earth

@tipsytentacle I believe "land lubber" is the proper nautical term

ANNOUNCEMENT

Marmite is fucking awesome on crumpets

That is all

@kimmie@mastodon.social I remember seeing it and thinking "Oh, magic internet money, like that'll be a thing, stupid bloody idea"

Next thing I hear about it several years later "Bitcoin hits several thousand pounds per"

@kimmie@mastodon.social Hope it works out for you

I'm still mildly kicking myself for not buying in to bitcoin when it was still a dollar or less per coin thingy

@kimmie@mastodon.social Honestly, I'm still not sure what ethereum's actually for

People keep saying "SMART CONTRACTS" and "DAO" and I have no idea what they're on about
