  • How often do you take him for a walk?

  • Yup, sounds exactly like my kiddo too. And they are FAST.

    It really feels like damned if you do, and damned if you don't and something happens to them.

  • What an ignorant comment. There's evidence to suggest walking attachment devices for young children were used way back in the 17th century. It's possible that similar things were used earlier than that too. An early version of the modern one we are all familiar with now, started selling in the 1920s. Incidentally, use of it skyrocketed as more and more cars, faster cars and busier roads spread across the modern world.

    And another thing, use of these leashes is common for parents of kids with disabilities. I have to use one with my son because his learning difficulties mean that he doesn't understand danger and if he gets frightened/overwhelmed he will often run away in a panic.

    I don't like using it but I would rather have my disabled son safe and alive than not use it, and judgemental attitudes like this are the reason that I have to put up with unsolicited, nasty comments when I take him out in public; when I'm already dealing with the stress of keeping a child with extra supervisory needs safe and well.

  • Waxy almost translucent look to it.

  • I wonder if this is a Lepista nuda.

  • Found on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland

  • I'm quite confident that this is a Yellow bridal veil stinkhorn, or Phallus multicolour (great scientific name imo).

  • Amanita Muscaria

    Jump

  • I originally thought Aprica straight away when I saw it and commented so above - but then kind of talked myself out of it on second inspection, because I couldn't see any remnants of their distinctive universal veil on the cap.

    I find it so fascinating that muscarias have such colour variations over there, where I am in Europe they are all deep, deep red. Only once have I seen a dark orange one. The light shades are lovely specimens.

    Edit: actually, I take back my first statement. I think the white ring consistently around the rim is indeed what's left of a singular veil, and that points to Amanita aprica.

  • Amanita Muscaria

    Jump

  • In North America there is a variant of muscaria found called guesowii, that is known colloquially as the American Yellow Fly Agaric. Also, muscaria can come into season in late summer in that region, whereas in Europe we do not see them until autumn is in full swing at least. If this was found early summer I would consider a different amanita ID to a muscaria as possibly a bit too early :)

    Jump

  • In that case, I am torn between the Amanita muscaria variant guessowii, or possibly even an Amanita chrysoblema. Absolutely stunning find either way. We very rarely get the yellow variants of muscaria in my locale, they are beautiful. Thanks for the picture :)

    Jump

  • I actually think this is an Amanita aprica, or the Sunshine Amanita. But it is sometimes possible to find muscarias that are paler than their usual distinctive red.

    The way to know for certain would be checking what time of year you found it, where you found it, and what kind of tree and habitat it was in.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

  • I don't watch these myself, but I have a friend with dyslexia who enjoys them because she struggles with reading for long. She says that an actual human reading them and chatting about the content is more entertaining than the robotic text-to-speech aids she uses for other things.

  • Hey there! Absolutely love the idea for this game. I applied for the last Beta wave but didn't get through, am I able to apply again for the new wave?

  • What do you mean, these very real tech pics aren't real?

  • Ugh, get your bits out of my face!

  • I get the majority of my son’s stuff on Vinted and sell on stuff that’s still decent quality, the cost of new clothing for kids just keeps sky rocketing and they only fit into them for such a short time anyways.

    I also go to local kids’ clothes and toys charity sales and find so much for him, especially barely used books for mere pence!

  • That makes so much sense. I’m gonna start doing that myself. Thanks for the tip!

  • That’s interesting, what are the benefits of having a different app for different servers?

  • I’ve been using Voyager (or wefwef as it used to be known) since day one here at Lemmy. Moved over from Reddit when the API changes were announced, and then any potential negotiations with Reddit and third party app developers broke down.

  • Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

    Jump

  • All the time! I studied Latin and Classical History for years so it’s a deep interest of mine. I often reminisce about the trip I took to Italy with my Latin class to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum.
