Just because I love them so much, my favorite fact about why orchids are that they have the smallest seeds of any plant.
The seeds are literally the size of dust particles, and they rely on fungi to germinate. Once completed, they parasitize the fungi for nutrients.
They need a snack after getting it on, like the rest of us basically

Feels like all of us (even people w/out a car) need to pay way more attention to the WTAF new rules affecting EU and US folk, requiring all new cars to include a driver monitoring camera aimed at your face.
"Glance at your phone, your kids in the back seat, or the radio for too long, and the car will flash a warning light and sound an alert," reads a recent post from Allaboutcookies.org.

First spotted this story in the Risky Business newsletter yesterday and have been reading as much as I can about it ever since. https://risky.biz/RBNEWS587/
Risky's @campuscodi writes the new regulation has entered into effect in the EU on Monday and will enter into effect next year in the US. In the EU, the new camera requirement is part of the block's second General Safety Regulation (GSR2), a broader swath of new safety rules introduced for the auto industry and designed to improve road safety.

I wish there was a lawnchair strong enough to withstand the kelvins emitted by the interior magma chamber of an active icelandic volcano, so that I could sit there and COOL DOWN A BIT :blobfoxrage: :blobfoxterrified:
So I looked at the floor and saw an ant carrying another dead ant, and this always seemed like such an honorable practice to me. To the point where I made sure to never squish one in such a situation.
I just looked it up to confirm my suspicions, and it genuinely is as honorable as I thought:
"Necrophoresis - helps to prevent the spread of disease within the colony. They remove the deceased ants and typically deposit them in designated areas known as midden piles or ant graveyards"
One of the tools I have in my #digitalminimalism toolkit is my Xteink X4. It cost me about 40 bucks and gives me the power to tow around an entire ebook library in my pocket.
No data harvesting analytics, telemetry, or other privacy abusing features caked in. It has an excellent community with a plethora of custom OS options to choose from.
SD, FTP, and even Bluetooth for those who want to use an external page turner.
All this in something the size of a credit card. My favorite #ereader

It's amazing a feature like this has only come along now.
Being able to present a unique introduction to your server, as an admin, is definitely a huge advantage in the sense of helping to get the average social media user to wrap their head around the concept of fedi and decentralization.
