The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

  • It's divided into apartments. The pictures in the listing are from the apartment for sale on the first floor. The ground floor seems to be just entrance and staircase.

  • This is amazing! I randomly selected somewhere in the middle, and the driver had to jump out of the tram to extinguish a fire and quickly jump back in to carry on.

  • Does the TierMaker Community Tier List actually reflect the opinions of the Discworld community?

    Jump

  • One day I will get to them :) (and probably wished I did so sooner)

  • Just wanted to comment, cause this community is a bit quiet. But man, I really hate tier lists. Just enjoy what you enjoy.Like, Unseen Academicals and The Last Hero are some of my favourites.I haven't read the Tiffany Aching books. Just cause I don't read much YA stuff. Maybe one day... In many discworld groups people really seem to enjoy them. And I've heard they are great for younger readers too.

  • What is a tip, fact, or piece of information that you want to share?

  • https://blogs.iu.edu/sciu/2023/05/06/the-longest-sperm-on-earth/

    Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.

    Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.

  • A little goes a long way

    Jump

  • Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I'm not alone.

  • This shit gets me all the time.. '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes.. 27. Surely not? Feels like it's 10 years or so. Checks math.. no, 27.

  • 24 hours(!) of cross stitch on Errol the swamp dragon

    Jump

  • Errol! You better hide anything edible, or actually anything non-edible too, when that one is finished :)

    Couldn't quickly find the perfect quote, but have this lovely one instead:

    Where do you think they've gone?' he said. 'Where what?' said Lady Ramkin, temporarily halted.'The dragons. You know. Errol and his wi - female.''Oh, somewhere isolated and rocky, I should imagine,' said Lady Ramkin. 'Favourite country for dragons.''But it - she's a magical animal,' said Vimes. 'What'll happen when the magic goes away?'Lady Ramkin gave him a shy smile.'Most people seem to manage,' she said.She reached across the table and touched his hand.

  • Recently learned it's actually "Eagles", not "The Eagles". (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)But even the band themselves will use "the" when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.
