@shacker Frequently! I'm on a big general instance and the local feed is very cosmopolitan/quirky/eclectic. With DeepL I can read stuff from all over the place, and it's precisely because it isn't stuff I already know that makes it so great. Reminds me of the early days of the web when everything was interesting or fun, always something new to discover; and not drowning in a sea of dross.Like being in a pub with interesting people you've never met before!

@beans_please @gwynnion "it's not like anyone's mind was every actually changed".I love the community here; people discuss stuff, sometimes robustly, but aren't just chanting the party line.There're definitely topics and regions lacking (Africa), but I've learn't way more interesting stuff.Opinion changed: Astrophysics and insects - ants in particular.I find myself walking down the road trying not to step on the little buggers!

@futurebird apologies to the cat for not putting her centre stage, but are the plants on the right silver birch, and did you grow them from cuttings?

@futurebird I have no idea why either, but the answer is ants, it's always ants !We bought some cheap little apple tree to put in our very small garden (translates as 'yard' I believe), and it made a few blossoms, one of which set. So we now have a little thing trying to become an apple. I showed my other half yesterday, and at the time there was an ant crawling on it. She was about to terminate it when I said , "No no! they are the good guys". You have a lot to answer for !

@futurebird As I've mentioned to somebody before, confessing your crime on the ["I never expected all these cats" - Tim Berners-Lee] inter-web. might not be the wisest move?

@jetlagjen @futurebird A, B, C for vertices, α, β, γ for angles? But what would I know? It's all Greek to me! 😉 Someone posted a link to this a while back; interesting in the context of the presentation discussion:[#AltTextForMe - help!]I thought it was obvious, but I'd seen in a Primary Maths Challenge (aimed at 9/10, 10/11 year old UK kids) … How many different isosceles triangles with whole number sides can you make from a loop of string 21 units long?https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/feb/17/can-you-solve-it-the-simple-geometry-question-that-fools-almost-everyone:

@Ashmire @TheVoidTLMB @futurebird For the benefit of our American cousins: Cricket is a 'game' 'played' between two teams. A player on one team is armed with a club, and a player from the other team repeated throws a rock at him, basically trying to kill him. For some strange reason the chap with the club isn't allowed to hit the rock thrower with his club. It does seem weird that American parents might choose to name a daughter Cricket![@keefeglise for more details] [+baseball/rounders]
