Bass Player here, I am pretty confident this is a flute.

Thanks for the explanation and I hate muck ony hands so that analogy also helps.

Serious question: you use it instead of wiping, not in addition to? I have a hard time imagining the bidet would be more sanitary without the use of mechanical force (wiping) and/or soap. Is it really just a jet of water that is supposed to remove any residue, regardless of consistency?

I laughed hard enough to realize I lost too much life time to Excel.

A time lapse of the history of the universe:

Very minimalistic, but I like the sound and visuals. Just try to tune in and enjoy an existential crisis at the end!

Makes me wonder how large the “cone” of such a burst can get and how often GRBs happen in absolute terms if this tiny target gets hit twice in only a couple of million years. Anyone an expert on this?

Also, I’ll never sleep again.

Yes, my thoughts exactly - that would never happen, right? Right?

I am scared and glad that this was really really far away.

What was that movie again?

I second this - am a reddit refugee from Boost.

Very well put. The whole API thing started a process for me that will not be reversed. Reddit is stained now.

Yes, I am intrigued how this will turn out. I think I see potential in the federated approach in this regard.

I feel reminded of the old days of the internet. It is invigorating discovering this Fediverse. Everything feels a lot more engaged than Reddit. I think it may be a good thing if this does not “take off” completely.
