Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • Here's my small collection lol, I use all of them at the same time every day cause I have very little access to sunlight and theyre used to treat my sleep disorder. Behind the smaller lamps is also a pair of light therapy glasses

    Some things worth knowing: they can trigger manic episodes in folks with bipolar disorder, and won't produce vitamin d like the sun, as they shouldn't emit any UV, so if you have a vitamin D deficiency you'll still need a supplement or sunlight. And you need to sit within the correct distance from them for them to work properly, it will vary depending on the lamp and a decent lamp should tell you that distance in the user guide/manual

    Try not to use them too late in the day, as that can screw with your sleep- if you dont have my sleep disorder you should be okay to just go by when the sun is up or has set, as a guideline for it being too late

    Carex makes the nicest ones I've used by far (thats what the big one in my pic is, though an older model, they have nicer ones out now). There are some other brands that make less expensive ones, but they may not be as bright or have as ideal of a light spectrum. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm not an expert but my condition has necessitated learning a lot about these things

  • Wow, thats some really nice looking work! It looks nicer than something that'd cone with a barbie from the factory, that's kinda incredible to me

  • I believe the slate is an ev if you're talking about an internal combustion engine

  • Man, I wish I cost $7000000. We gotta stop setting unreasonable standards

  • Alien is 100% an excellent example! Its one of my favorite examples of the aesthetic ☺️

  • Thats fucking beautiful lmao

    Yeah cassette futurism is an aesthetic subgenre of retrofuturism that imagines a SciFi future where the capabilities of technology are greater but its still has the construction and aesthetic of tech from the era of cassettes

    So like the way theyre still using CRTs and magnetic tape media in Blade Runner but they can zoom and enhance, there are androids that mimic humans, and they have flying cars

    Its SciFi but the technology that powers the future is frozen in time, like with steam punk, atom punk, and disel punk

    There's a more active cassette futurism comm, I didn't realize this was a different one and is empty: !cassettefuturism@lemmy.world And its predecessor from before lemm.ee shut down !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee

    They were created in the image of a reddit sub by the same name. Any would give some examples of what cassette futurism looks like- that being said I'm delighted I saw this lol. You could also share this on one of the Loops comms if you haven't already and would like to :)

  • Ah interestimg, it makes a bit more sense now within the context of the practices from the time period, though the article you linked seems to suggest the practice didn't have much environmental impact

    thanks for the additional context :)

  • It sounds like he was protesting against nuclear power, not bombs... Can't say I'm on board with his agenda in that case

  • That was fucking fantastic, what a fun way to hear a familiar song with new ears

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for the dimensions, thats helpful context!

    Thats 0.8 × 4.5 × 1.8 inches for anyone more familiar with imperial :)

  • Man, in the thumbnail he looks a whole lot like Robbin Williams

  • This isnt quite what the sub is for and I do not understand it, but I'm glad you're having fun lol

    Please explain chuck tingle I simply must know more

  • I think translating ICE related materials and resources into more languages is gonna be really important...

  • Frogs be looking mighty polite out here

  • My understanding is that the restriction comes from the great depression, when the government was worried about people poaching deer and decimating the population by hunting more than was allowed

    And then we just never got rid of the exception.

    Similar to how short rifles were restricted to create additional charges for bootleggers transporting alcohol during the prohibition, since being in a vehicle really benefits from having a shorter gun so bootleggers would cut length off their barrels so they could more easily handle their guns in the vehicle

  • Ahh, okay thanks for filling me in

  • Thats super interesting context, thanks for expanding on what they said!

  • Eughh 😬

    I feel like that should probably be in a museum if its gonna continue to exist... It being part of a private collection and being sold feels kinda gross...

  • Interesting read, thanks for sharing
