Sicily - which has already been brought to its knees by a prolonged heatwave - is battling wildfires that are threatening towns and cities across the island.
Its not real. This isn’t a satellite image of the wildfires. Theres an artist’s initials at the top of this “satellite image” (it is a satellite image, but the fires and smoke are drawn on).

I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling....
100%. I was so addicted to reddit I would, like you said, open it without even noticing I did it. It was really shocking to me how many hours a day I was pissing away reading the reposts of bots and the thoughts of teen edge lords. The protests came at a great time, havent been back since (my sub is still on private hehe…) anyway, popping in here is fun and everything but I dont think it’ll ever get as bad as it was.
do you? I was coming back to the states from another country, and I walked up to the booth and the border agent said “Hi, name” (using my first name) before I handed them my passport. There was no opting out of that one.
I’m old, so I like the silent Samus à la the originals. I like the creepy beeping music and the vacuum of space kind of vibe, devoid of any interpersonal relationship melodrama

thats a shame- its not too hard to quickly handwash your wooden and wooden handled kitchen bits, and its so much nicer than the never ending torrent of plastic shit we have to interact with daily
I dont know, I remember my dad saying “what a scorcher” in 1978 (or so he told me later when I was both alive and could understand spoken language) so you never know, you never never know
the fact that the only places in the world that have people who even want to continue to live in denial are the US, UK and Australia cough Murdoch’s* cough makes me want to go outside and lie in a pile of wet leaves
I’m aware you didnt ask, but I heard an interview with some asshole from Florida yesterday and he said “I’m against this whole globalist shit!” and I thought for a moment what an alien or even say god would make of someone saying “one species? humanity? NO- this one group here, this is us and they are them”… and it just became so clear to me, once again, that people who can’t move beyond the idea of tribes are just simply less evolved than other people, and as little as natural evolution is still functioning, I’m hoping against hope that it still works a little, and the more intellectually developed will leave the less developed behind.
while I’m dreaming, I’d also like an infinite bank account thank you
I’m suprised my gushing sarcasm didnt come through… my dad didn’t say 78 was “a scorcher” at all, just riffing. probably should include the /s thing more often
The whole island of Sicily covered by wildfires tonight. It's a catastrophe. Here is a satellite image. (feddit.uk)

If this is the place to give feedback, it would be cool to see the name of the posters when scrolling through my feed.
Sometimes it matters, like when I want to know if it was a bot post or not....
Does anyone else remember Cartoon Planet?
I know it’s not specifically Adult Swim related, but it was a kid-friendly off-shoot of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, so it’s tangentially related....
