wieson,

They’re from Araucana chicken from south America. Pretty cool if you ask me

Zoboomafoo,

I didn’t know Araucana was spelled that way, neat!

My family had a few when I was growing up, the eggs were delicious and they only chased me around the yard sometimes

Fermion, (edited )

Getting chased by an aggressive rooster is one of my earliest memories. I mostly just remember jurassic park levels of pure terror.

Now that I’m a large person, that perspective seems absurd, but chickens are very scary when you are small.

0ops,

I used to raise chickens when I was a kid and never got chased by a rooster for some reason, in fact usually it was the other way around. But my neighbors down the road had turkeys that they let roam free range around their property. I was a fucking short, scrawny little kid and they were almost as tall as me, and territorial af. At least a couple times I had to run for my life from those velociraptors just because I happened to turn a corner and bump into them while hanging out with that family. They’d just look at you, spread their tail feathers and start trotting at you making weird-ass noises. Fuckers are scary af

PoopingCough, in Starting in the middle ages, they used to catch ducks and other waterfowl with a special building that was a big trap.

This is very interesting but dang that Wikipedia page is kind of a mess compared to what I’m used to seeing

@other_cat@lemmy.world avatar

I’m more surprised that Del Monte used to sell pudding.

s_s,

When you don’t have fresh fruits for the canning line, you can keep the lines busy with another product you mix up from a shelf stable powder…pudding.

user1234, in this plug doesn't have the little holes

I always thought the holes were there for OSHA lockout/tagout locks.

Michal,

They are a byproduct of the manufacturing process. There’s a Technology Connections video about it that I’m too lazy to lookup on my phone.

LemmyKnowsBest,

You’re a hero. I even remember watching this video a few weeks ago but I still can’t remember what he taught us the holes are for.

schmidtster, (edited )

Technology connections got it wrong. The oldest receptacle he used was from the 2000s. He also didn’t do any research. Modern manufactures keep doing it for the all the old receptacles out there. It’s why the hole size IS specified by NEMA if you are going to include them.

Theres plenty of patents that specify the locking function, and even some modern patents refer to those old locking features with their features.

MadBob, in My local coffee shop has a no birds sign on the door. It is placed at eye height for walking birds.

Or at the kind of level you’d be looking at if you were contemplating letting a bird in?

ElBarto, in Two airplanes landing at the same time with close proximity

Well, now I need to see commercial airplane drag racing.

Revered_Beard, in Why do the cables ONLY vibrate between these two poles?

For what it’s worth: I counted about 85 or 86 “clicks” in 10 seconds. It’s a loud click followed by a quieter click, like as if it’s oscillating towards and away from you. The sound of the click itself is loudest at about 2.6 khz - whether that is simply the sound of friction, or some sort of electrical phenomenon, I don’t know.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/abcd958f-78f2-40ef-8611-2e250cafb206.png

The fuzzy area at the bottom half of the spectrogram is the dull roar of distant wind. The clicks themselves show up as spikes, and the intense colors on the right are from where the voice starts speaking. The dark band above 10K is just the data lost from audio compression.

biffnix,
@biffnix@discuss.online avatar

Well, I can say definitively that I know what is making that clicking sound. It’s hard to see since the cable is in silhouette, but there are silver-colored spirals wound around the cable, and the sound is made by the plastic sheathing of the black cable wobbling inside of those metal spirals. The spirals are made of aluminum, I’m pretty sure. Those spirals are put there to stiffen the the hanging cable, and appear on the hanging cable between every set of poles (not just these, that are wiggling). There are two spirals mounted on each cable between the poles. I assume the spirals are mounted there to provide damping, just in case the wind does cause the cable hanging between the poles to swing too much. But, there was no wind blowing when I shot this video (Dec 5, 2023). The voice you hear is mine, just speculating on what might be causing the oscillating cable…

Thanks. Would a prosthetic one be bi-yonic?

I’ll see myself out.

  • Bumblefumble,

    They are the expiration date though. Why do you say that so confidently if you don’t know what you’re talking about?

    SpacetimeMachine,

    These numbers are put on by grocery clerks with a price-gun. All they did was add on however many days the product is supposed to last after it got put on the shelf. So it’s really just some grocery worker not worrying about a date not existing. I woulda done the same thing if I was stocking these tbh.

    1847953620,

    I schedule all my meetings for March 31st.

    Tuss,

    Swede here. Those labels are from the producer. It’s easier to just use the same bags and then add the expiration date on a separate labels than to print the expiration date on the bags themselves.

    That way if you make same same bread on the same date but one batch gets frozen and the other gets sent out fresh you just use the same bags but they get different labels with different exparation dates depending if they are frozen or fresh.

    dafo,

    What? This makes so little sense I don’t even know how to proceed. It’s an expiration date.

    Source: I’m also Swedish like OP and frequently shop at ICA - the biggest supermarket chain we’ve got, who also have their own line of products which are baked/cooked/prepared and packaged centrally and sent out to ICA stores all over the country. Those bagels are one of those products.

    Bumblefumble,

    Woah woah woah. You are completely right on almost all parts of your comment, but I will not stand idly by as you call me Swedish. I’m a danskjävla who just happened to live in Sweden.
