The first pig to fly. 1909. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

We stayed in Sheerness (where this flight took place), and when my girlfriend saw this she immediately asked “Did pigs fly before women did?”. And the answer turned out to be no, women beat pigs by two weeks: “Sarah Van Deman … was the woman who flew with Wilbur Wright on October 27, 1909” source

The [email protected] community is currently without an active mod: the original creator does not seem to have been active on Lemmy in months. I PM’d them to check whether they were still interested in the community and have received no reply.

I'm presently more or less the only active poster there, though that may change next month when this year's Advent of Code kicks off.

Looks like it 🙁. If you can bear to open this post again could you edit the title to add [SOLVED]? Thanks!

We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands in c/[email protected]

That is the style at this time.

You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.

Sheesh.

I watched Severance by mistake, thinking I was watching Succession, which meant I was totally disoriented for the first few episodes as I waited for Brian Cox to turn up. It was glorious. Can totally recommend.

Found this in Myrtle Beach. It looked like a shiny black rock when wet, but now I'm not so sure. Is this a fossil, or something a lot less interesting? in c/[email protected]

Hi OP, I thought would be a great question for the newly created Geology group, so I posted a link to it there and got this great answer -- in short:

There are many small fossils on that rock. It would be hard to tell what the rock itself is from just the photo. Limestone is the most likely candidate.

Go and read the full answer for more details!

If you're happy with the answers you've got could you edit your title to add [SOLVED] at the end? Thanks, Michael
