get a pirate ship, come alongside a cruise liner, board it, run a day or two of pirate-themed entertainment, leave with a cheque from the cruise line for entertainment services rendered/a fantastic advertising opportunity and tips from the cruise passengers

Nature really likes crabs and keeps trying to evolve more of them.

Carcinisation is the name of a process of convergent evolution, in which crustaceans evolve into crab-like forms. In decapod crustatceans, there have been at least 5 distinct times when crab-like animals have evolved.

Coconut crabs, king crabs, and hermit crabs are not types of true crab, and are only distantly related.

a bunch of french watchmakers carrying eggs: bonjour

Show thread

Sometimes I feel like I've got a reasonable grip on reality but then something like this comes along and completely throws me

It's a twelve hundred euro watch specially created for timing eggs for egg mayonnaise

They called it the Egg Master

There is no sane universe where this should be a thing

REALITY IS CRUMBLING AROUND ME AND IT IS ALL EGG MAYONNAISE

y'know how rolex has long waitlists? well, they're by specific model

so now that they've released new models everyone who was on the waitlist for a sub now needs to sign up for the new waitlist

and their position on the waitlist doesn't carry over!

it's only a commodore amiga if it's in charge of more than one ship at a time and has a fancy hat

Show thread

And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko

Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series

Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements

The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity

And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)
