nina's little fedi corner

it's so weird that flowering plants only existed for the past 100 something million years

they feel so ubiquitous but apparently they just kinda appeared at one point out of nowhere

it's nice to be in my 30s because i got to grow up without internet and social media as well as experience how terrible computers really were in the 90s *and* at the same time i routinely get confused for an early 20s person anyway

we went to the asian grocery store the other day and i wanted to get my gf some yulmu-cha because that's criminally underrated outside korea but sadly they had none

but we got some weird mushroom ramen made in vietnam marketed with "korea technology" and that was actually rather good

looking at german mobile tariffs since spain finally decided to deny me the usual service since they noticed i've been roaming for the last 150GBs and is now charging me 1.3€ flat per GB

it's puzzling, i don't get why anyone would ever get a contract because it's more expensive and doesn't get you anything

o2 prepaid 10€: 20GB data + 3GB if you pay by sepa, unlimited calls in germany, 200 free minutes for EU
telekom 10€: 20GB data, no bonus, same other stuff
vodafone 10€: 25GB data, no bonus, same other stuff
meanwhile, a contract 25GB tariff with vodafone: 22.45€ (others are similar)

it's like that in czechia too except czechia is expensive; O2 10GB + 100 mins is ~10€ prepaid, while 10GB contract is ~14.50€ per month

so it's just less flexible and more expensive and you get nothing except maybe some free minutes you don't end up using because everyone just uses the internet now

i had a dream that was about arguing on irc

everyone was acting in the most obtuse, abrasive manner they possibly could

including myself

it kinda sucked

i took a 30s long exposure photo of the night sky with a 500mm mirror lens and the output is... odd

weird 5-pixel patterns all over the place in a sort of white X pattern

and lots of red and blue

this is funny

apparently you newly can't access old.reddit without login/account anymore

getting progressively more useless now

OH: "i'm the Steve Ballmer of girl appreciation"

construction cranes in the dark are fun

me going up the ladder: haha fuck yeah!! yes!!!
me going down the ladder later: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck

til that mass switching to lager style beer brewing in mid 19th century led to development of modern bakers' yeast around the same time

top fermenting yeast (for ales) was already suitable for baking while bottom fermenting yeast wasn't (too low temp) which led to a shortage as bakers were just sourcing theirs from breweries

*traveling by train to leipzig, the routes are unusually long now due to construction*

gf: "we're not even a third of the way"
me: "erfurt? no that's in 80 minutes"

reading the comment section in czech media about prague pride march is so funny

"why are they pushing this so much, next up it'll be mandatory to be gay"

that's right, i'm making it mandatory

you are gay now
