robotrash, in Mars from Earth, and Earth from Mars

I think we’ve maybe failed as a society if a picture of Earth from Mars is on mildly interesting…

Kichae,

I actually think it's a sign of success, at least in one realm. We've been taking pictures of Earth from Mars for decades now. That it's a common enough thing that it could maybe be "mildly interesting" is an achievement.

robotrash,

I could see that, I just worry that leads to complacency rather than a broader interest. Of course we don’t have much history for this to grow from yet!

In order to fail, you first have to achieve something .... and in terms of the wider universe and our planet ... humanity has only just started

Does our atmosphere magnify things slightly? Seems brighter on Earth

smallaubergine,

probably just differences in cameras, lenses and exposure times

barnsbauer,

I too was initially wondering that. A comparison with a similar camera to that of the Mars rovers would’ve been more interesting. We have much more capable cams here at home.

Pechente,

I thought I could be the first to post this but nope. Too many other Germans here.

Maple tree!? 🍁

awatermelonharvester,

Specifically looks like a red maple Acer rubrun

We have a sapling that rises up every year out of the storm sewer. So tenacious. The root system on that bad boy must be super developed by no.

civilfolly,

Make a salt water solution, lots of salt in water. Then use a brush to brush on the solution to every leaf. Keep doing that for several days and it should die off. We did that one summer and it came back the next summer, did the same steps and has not returned since.

Looks to me like a Manitoba maple. Those fuckers are relentless, will grow absolutely anywhere, and are impossible to kill.

Life. . . Uh, . . Finds a way.

@PineapplePartisan@lemmy.world avatar

I was so interested in this that I called them to ask how much 100g of brain would cost. They said €10. I thought this was a bargain so I said I’d take 100g of Portuguese brain. They said it would cost €10,000. I said “WTF, you said €10”. They responded “Do you know how hard it is to find 100g of Portuguese brain”.

Missnalgas, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

Is it a “bridge” though?

LEDZeppelin,

It’s a bridge too far

Don't look a bridge horse in the mouth

buycurious,

Feels like it’s more of a “trough” than anything else.

danc4498,

It’s a dam.

@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

You are dam right.

danc4498,

🤓

DauntingFlamingo,

I’m going to get a pet beaver and name it God, so I can yell “God, dam it!” with impunity.

postmateDumbass,

Double dyke dam?

Entropy, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

I feel like that shit floods every time it rains lol. I’m curious how they would drain it.

Anticorp,

Just drill drain holes in the bottom. Duh! Oh wait…

itsJoelle,

I not proud my internal dialog went exactly like that.

    Stoneykins,

    Congratulations on being the smartest person in this thread so far, no one else has apparently ever heard of a pump before

    heeplr,

    how they would drain it.

    Since a lot of land is below sea level, the Netherlands basically dry pump their country all the time anyway.

    This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

    Ryantific_theory,

    Even knowing it’s real, it feels like one of those photo-realistic concept art pieces, or a weird AI diffusion that screwed up how bridges work.

    The Dutch, not content with merely driving the sea back, now seek to taunt and humiliate it

    567PrimeMover,
    @567PrimeMover@kbin.social avatar

    Not unlike the mighty Beaver, the Dutch have an instinctual drive to bend water to their will

    RooRLoord420,

    And much like the beaver, many of our artificial flavors are made from the expressed anal glands of the Dutch.

    TvanBuuren,

    We try our best ;)

    Ryumast3r,

    Do you really? Because I hear from Europeans they hate you.

    I joke because personally I love the Dutch, but not necessarily Amsterdam. Such a great country.

    The Danes have you beat in friendliness though I think… They’re so damn happy I can’t understand it.

    megasin1,

    You’re thinking of a caricature from Austin powers.

    Risk,

    OP’s image needs to be captioned with your comment and then ever so slightly jpegified. chef’s kiss

    AnarchistArtificer,

    I have no idea why you think it would be improved by slight adding of jpeg, but I agree, and I don’t know why. It feels like meme salt. Or maybe meme umami

    Skua,

    It's a matter of time before we start manually adding iFunny banners at the bottom for authenticity

    Ryumast3r,

    If you hit source (jerboa) on the image you get this:

    ![](…tchncs.de/…/cf7fb761-4b72-4038-afee-f8951d4c7f95…

    Which is an interesting format and I wish I could just save your image. I guess this is a request to the devs.

    Gestrid,

    To do a feature request for Jerboa, you can fill out the form here: github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/new?assignees…

    Ryumast3r,

    I’m too drunk for that, but I will try at some point. Thank you!

    Cosmonauticus,

    I’m too drunk to meme this chicken

    Risk,

    Try Liftoff ;)

    And it was the result of beautiful team work. Good job team, I hope that meme takes off.

    Beautiful

    Scribbd,

    Countryballs, the Dutch are asking their neighbors for clay. All saying no in disgust. When Dutch ball goes to the sea, there is no objection. Dutch ball claims clay. I would say it should be ‘geef’ instead of ‘gib’, but who am I to judge.

    EDIT: Linky as tall images don’t do well in web, unless you are an ant.

    Risk,

    Has polandball come across to the fediverse yet?
