Weaveworld was huge when it came out. Great and Secret Show is good too.

For a quality horror experience, read the short story Dread, from The Books of Blood II collection.

No spoilers, read it cold.

What is your horrible Food Poisoning story? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Kebab joint in the very centre of our million person town.

Ate it on the day before Xmas, was walking and talking again by mid Boxing Day.

Bleaugh, lie down sweats and toilet yoyo.

The place shut down 5yrs after.

This was 20yrs ago, no kebab related issues since then, all tasty. Sour cream and garlic sauce, add a single felafel too.

I just posted a suggestion for a Lemmy feature-request for this very thing.

Thanks for sharing this moment about the Q&A.

The lack of self-awareness about how ghoulish, and close to grave robbing these 'reanimations' are is concerning. Glad to hear that museum professionals are not entertaining it for a moment.

What features would you like added to Lemmy itself? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Some sort of automatic down-sampling feature before posting, for images, video and maybe audio.

DeltaChat has this built in to minimise file-sizes before posting.

Something like this would reduce plenty of bandwith/processor use/carbon etc. Increase speed of loading pages.

With an option to click to see the original media too.

Dolphins surf shore break, and... so do black swans.

Anyone seen this live? Is it common, or a one off group?

Satellite maps on fdroid? (lemmy.world)

RMaps previously provided free satellite imagery, and any geo-location could be shared from OSMand to RMaps, to quickly show a satellite overview. (Tiles from ARCGIS IIRC)

What is the current state of satellite imagery in fdroid?

How can an OSMand location be quickly opened as a satellite view?

Edit: Extra info is, I'm looking for an offline satellite image solution. Full pre-loading of a specific areas, before travel.

With RMaps, it was possible to pre-load the tiles for the remote-location needed at various zoom-levels, before travelling a few 100kms from cell-towers, and then still being able to access an offline-satellite-view of those locations when there.

Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim? (lemmy.world)
 

That's it. Any horse, any time period, any peoples, did they fit a shoe that helped the horse to swim in water?

(Was thinking about how horses are pretty good swimmers, maybe due to their power and hoof shape. Could they be better?)

Watch recommendations (lemmy.world)
 

Is the Amazfit Bip still a good choice for simple duration/route/heartrate/step/sleep tracking?

It works with gadgetbridge out of the box, with no need to connect with other software or create a remote account. 20-30 day battery life.

I saw the PineTime today, which looks interesting.

I've tried a Bip Pro, but it requires a connection and account before being usable with gadgetbridge.

What are the other options to consider? Which watches have higher accuracy for sleep/HR/step metrics?
