Here is a better way to slice a #pizza, in my opinion. It is thinner even width slices, easier to fit in mouth. Cut to be more like appetizer.
[#science/#climateChange] This one made me feel like crap, when i learned it so i thought i'd share. Rice production is one of the largest producers of methane by humans. It also produced nitro-oxide, another #GreenHouseGas. So i guess ill try using orzo, or quinoa alternatively.

[#art/#news] Pretty cool. A cross border seesaw, across the #TrumpWall, to use between Mexico and USA.
[#idea] I know its a bit on the late side but businesses should put out #TipJar for customer service workers, like grocery store workers. Businesses aren't going to give hazard pay for increased risk of #covid, but a tip jar may help. I doubt they even get payed time off if they get covid.
This is kinda neat. It claims a restoration, but allot of it is rebuilding from scratch. Including making screws. All using fancy professional machining tools. It's a bit long but if you play it in the background, while doing something.

[#idea] A solution for the #disinformation problem without censorship. Twitter is doing a bit, but mostly just deletes
At the bottom of questionable posts.
[flag] for country + link describing real source of disinformation
[Disinformation warning] w/ link to more reliable source to info
[Altered video/image/quote warning] w/ link to original
[Deep Fake warning] w/ link to original
Won't cure the problem, maybe people will be change their minds if they realize they are being manipulated
[#idea] Attention all #gods, I have a solution to the good/evil thing, without the problems with free will. Upon death a mark forms on the forehead. One symbol for good, another for evil. Punish accordingly. Pretty good, right? So give it a try and if you are in a different universe, let me know you it goes
[#idea] There should be a database for all the names of things used fictional books/movies/tv/etc. Things like names of characters, currency, places, alien species, creatures, etc. This would be useful to authors so 10 books don't have the same main character, but also for fans that are interested in such things.
An example:
https://list.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_fictional_currencies
and a bunch more https://list.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=fiction&scope=internal&navigationSearch=true
but these are far from complete and in list form, not a db
So i realized its not 1995, so i got rid of my #AmigaComputer, canceled my #CompuServe account , and upgraded my #MosaicBrowser
BTW why are we still using animated gifs and jpegs. Seriously they are 25+ year old technology
Anyways this is my first micro-blog. I doubt ill be posting more than a couple times a week. Mostly about updates to my projects, cool new science/photos/art/nature, politics that really concern me, and ideas i have.
