edit: I had fun and got carried away, but here are a few of mine (+ descriptions and posters)


The Otter of the Medusa

First movie in the ‘Medusa’ trilogy. About an ancient order of sea otters called ‘Medusa’, that have saved the world from behind the scenes countless times over the centuries. Improved human technologies and destruction of habitats are causing cracks to form in the organization, and some are starting to question whether humans should be kept around at all. Based on a famous painting with the same name.

Posters for the rest of the trilogy:

otter,

Woah, good that he survived and it’s impressive he continued to work in the field afterwards

As a researcher at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, Russian SSR, Anatoli Bugorski worked with the largest particle accelerator in the Soviet Union, the U-70 synchrotron. On 13 July 1978, Bugorski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed. Bugorski was leaning over the equipment when he stuck his head in the path of the 76 GeV proton beam. Reportedly, he saw a flash “brighter than a thousand suns” but did not feel any pain. The beam passed through the back of his head, the occipital and temporal lobes of his brain, the left middle ear, and out through the left hand side of his nose. The exposed parts of his head received a local dose of 200,000 to 300,000 roentgens (2,000 to 3,000 Sieverts). Bugorski understood the severity of what had happened, but continued working on the malfunctioning equipment, and initially opted not to tell anyone what had happened.

otter,

Do you have any recommendations on which ones to go with?

Black Friday is coming up and I’ve wanted to try too

otter,

Chocolate chip cookies for me, and as long as I can before it starts to fall apart.

I like playing chicken with them

otter,

I didn’t think to use that, thanks :)

otter,

Who’s the artist for this one?

I love it, would like to read more but the name is a little blurry

otter,

Garbage answer:

Garbage collection and general management. It’s nice that we don’t dump our waste outside our homes anymore.

Yep, it’s intended to be opt in from the article

Police let people know which cameras might be useful or people can try to sign up on their own

here’s one that I was going to post over there: !edc

It has cool wallets, pens, flashlights, gadgets, and anything else people carry with them

otter,

Reminds me of the joke

A man was driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back seat. The police stop him and say that he can’t drive around with the penguins in the car and should take them to the zoo. The man agrees and drives off.

The next day the same man is driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back and again. He is stopped by the same police officer who says, “Hey! I though I told you to take those to the zoo.”

The man replies “I did. Today I’m taking them to the movies.”

otter,

Depending on where you’re located, instagram is also pretty good to get things going. Making a short graphic for each article should be a nice balance. You COULD make a reel/story/tiktokVideo for more engagement, but personally I’d avoid a creator doing stuff like that.

I’d say, in order:

  • Mastodon page
  • RSS feed
  • Instagram account
  • Facebook page
otter,

Oh I just assumed they were the newest communities, is that not the case?

otter,

Ah yea I agree. I’ve been relying on the link that comes with the browser extension but miss it when that doesn’t happen. I appreciate you adding it and I’ll try to be better about it :)

otter,

thanks :)

posted it along to that one too
