Looking at it I feel like a caveman tripping balls and looking out of my cave at my friends and the sheep we have, about to invent religion lol.
In all seriousness though, it's a really nice piece and I love both the composition and the colours.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL: Thanks to poor internal communication at NASA, information about a spacesuit water leak wasn't properly communicated. Later, Astronaut Luca Parmitano almost drowned on a July, 2013 ISS space walk, his helmet filling with several liters of water before they could get him back inside. by OvidPerl
God bless those poor flatearth smoothbrains, this is the kind of stuff they jerk themselves off over without even knowing how a spacesuit works.

Reply to comment by Clusterclucked in Working at the Call Center, Me, Digital Painting, 2023 by Animehur
Where I worked was like an awful lot of call centres I've come across, they actively broke up unionising attempts through threats, refused to pay fair wages, overworked people, gave no benefits and had the bare minimum of support. You are one of the lucky ones, I will tell you that and I'm glad you have a good job.
Most of the customers I worked with were lawyers and they were really scummy when they didn't get their way and I'd get personal legal threats mailed to me for the company's issues lmao.

Callers are their own hell lmao, they made me understand why axe murders happen. 💀

That's the feeling alright. If you're still working in a call centre, I hope you get out of there soon into somewhere better that appreciates you and that isn't a psychic meat grinder.

Beautiful linework! 🖤 Can I ask what kind of paper you used, the whole image has a beautiful bright look that reminds me of ink on vellum.

I have learned my lesson, I will leave the licking to the geologists and archeologists. 💀

Mycoparasitism is fascinating. When I collect mushrooms, I love putting a few aside just to watch them decompose and sustain the weird little fungal parasites that feed on them. They're such a melting pot of biochemical compounds.

Reply to How do scientists calculate the size of planets and stars only by using a telescope? by BigBashyBoo
Basically, by careful observation and then doing math calculations. You measure the object's angular size as you see it in the sky and then you work out its distance based on its orbit. When you combine these two measurements, you should then be able to find the real size of an object. I hope I am explaining both correctly and clearly. There are some links below to help beak down the answer and go into further detail.

Where I live they litter the beach because we have a lot of sea birds and many of them wash up due to currents despite living most of their life far from where humans do. Birds cover wide ranges and rarely interact with humans unless it's just to gain some food before taking off again to cover wide territories that often consist of large wild parts humans and predators find it difficult to reach them. Any that do die and fall are usually eaten very fast by scavengers, even on the beach the crabs come and clean up in the night.

Reply to Why do our eyes track moving objects smoothly, but skip when moving our focus point along a surface? by tikkymykk
Basically so that we can observe different phenomena and focus on the necessary details in different ways. When your eyes "saccade" - move rapidly from one point of focus to another, our brains are cutting out the information between the two points and just working to rapidly jump from one point of interest to another. With smooth pursuit, our brain and eyes are maintaining a tracking focus on slowly moving target so that we don't miss any detail - if the target speeds up though our eyes will switch to saccade movements to keep up with where the target is going along it's expected trajectory. The video below gives a brief introductory overview of eye movement and will familiarise you with some handy terms to research further.

Reply to My 4y/o told me her dream about losing teeth without ever knowing it's a common dream. Are there any other examples of cross-cultural phenomena that centers on a specific narrative? by koleslaw
Here's two links, one is for the overlap in general dream themes across different cultures and the other is an exploration of the tooth dream as a common global phenomenon- the idea that it relates to the "incorporation of dental irritation into dreaming" is an obvious explanation that I never thought about honestly.
