Fun fact for your trivia banks:

The difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque is easy to remember. A gargoyle is a decorated waterspout that projects from a roof and carries rainwater away from the walls of a building, protecting it from damage, whilst a grotesque is a decorative carving that has no functional architectural purpose.

Ahhh, so I'm a grotesque. Thank you.

At least you got some personality? :V

Nobody will understand if I tell them "that's a nice grotesque"

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe, but on the other hand, if someone went to the effort to commission and have a grotesque installed in their property, they might just know. Still, probably not though.

That's not quite right, because a gargoyle actually is a grotesque.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So the show gargoyles was actually pretty accurate

[–] sprl@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Totally agree, go crazy with the gargoyle design please.

Is that all I have to do to make it non amp - remove amp from the url? I looked if there was a direct share link on the site instead of copying the url, but it would only post to Twitter and Facebook.

[–] ReadyUser31@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
