Try to find a parking spot in the city, man, it’s impossible! This one hasn’t even dried yet, and it’s already taken.

12 steps to get to nothing sounds like a lot. I can get you there in 9! And my internet is faster, too.

Don’t leave us hanging. How did they taste?

Some of my sunflowers are getting to the point where I can harvest their seeds. That’s super exciting because it’s my first time collecting seeds. This’ll sound very dumb, but until earlier this year, I thought sunflower seeds were a bit like apples and grew out of the little things that bees collect pollen from, but then I saw that the seeds grew underneath the pollen. I always thought I had seedless sunflowers. I’ll leave plenty of seeds for the birds, but growing sunflowers from seeds that I harvested myself sounds so cool, and I’m really looking forward to spring now.

My GP has an online tool to make appointments, and it’s great. I wouldn’t use it for genuinely private stuff because the company behind it is a bit shady, but booking an appointment to get vaccinated is generic enough for me to pick convenience over privacy. It’d be great if they could use open-source, privacy-respecting software, though.

It’s amazing how plants can recover from what looks like a major injury. Last year, I had a sunflower seedling in a small cup, and something bit off its head. Might’ve been a bug, or a bird, we’ll never know, but all that was left was a thin stem, just like in your photo. I kept watering it, and after a while, it started growing new leaves, then a second head, and although it was much smaller than the other sunflowers, it still bloomed.

Animals and plants that glow like that are so cool! We live in such a magical world, and photos like this remind me that the magic starts right at our doorsteps.

My favourite part about growing flowers is when all the little pollinators show up and get their legs covered in pollen. I could watch them for hours :3

As the CEO of Linux, I’ve had long and intense discussions with Mr Musk about the future of the company if he were to buy it, and I have come to the conclusion that he is a very good and smart businessman. There is no doubt on my mind that our company will thrive under his competent leadership. The Linux Corporation™ is therefore proud to announce that we have decided to accept his gracious offer of 69 billion US dollars, payable in $100 Google Play gift cards.

“I just need to sit down, focus, skim a few chapters in this book, and take notes. It’ll take twenty minutes, maybe even less. Easy.”

“Let’s watch a one-hour video essay on a completely unrelated topic, maybe that’ll motivate me.” (it won’t)

That sounds lovely! Thank you for your insight, it’s already taught me something new (I didn’t know that woodchips prevent compaction, or that it was an issue in the first place). And if your garden looks this pretty in the winter, it must be absolutely stunning in the summer <3

Oh, I’m SO jealous because having a forest garden is my dream. Do you have to put in a lot of work to keep it in shape?

It says “fake psychic. real detectives.” with a fist bump underneath. It’s a reference to a TV show called “Psych.” I couldn’t find the exact t-shirt he’s wearing, and the only “official” listing I could find is in the NBC Store (I can provide a link if you want, but t-shirt links on social media always look a bit fishy, so I won’t include one in this reply; you can also just go to the NBC Store and search for “fist bump” there).

You’re on lemmy.world, right? Hexbear is blocked there (and on a bunch of other instances; here’s their post about defederation), so that’s probably why you can’t view the instance from lemmy.world.

Well, well, well, if that isn’t what I’m doing at this very moment (but I usually walk up and down the hallway instead)

Wow, stunning colours!

Lavender gang :D

The description at the end felt a bit off, but I guess that’s because the result is just what I have the most overlap with.
