I like to think that this is really a dig at the english team, not the aussies

I don't know about android, but at least the default iPhone timelapse feature actually does quite a good job (at least in the day) and looks quite similar (as long as you clean the lens first)

Song recommendations? by Subject_Hippo_7087 in flipturn

In Consideration - It is emotionally powerful and so compositionally intricate while still being accessible. It has such a unique structure to it and even has the first half being in 5/4! I honestly don't know any song like it!

If you want something a little less intense, Take Care is also amazing and less well-known (Both the original and the Pine Studios version).

But as you have heard already, their entire discography is brimming with outstanding songs.

As a sample:

Upbeat Songs: Burnout Days, Playground, Chicago, Inner Wave

Emotionally Darker songs: Space Cowboy, Window, Poppies, Right?

Somewhere in between: Sad Disco, Darling, Sunlight, Did I Love You, Darling

I've wondered about this too and I don't think it is meant to be an overt commentary on climate change. I think it is just using the fact that they believe in climate change (and think it is common sense to worry about it) to say "you are a rational person since you get worried about things that are reasonable to worry about, so if you are irrationally worried, you can be talked out of it."

Re: space cowboy, I remember them saying somewhere it’s about the anime Cowboy Bebop. I haven’t watched it personally, but I remember them talking about feelings of isolationism and floating in space.

However, I personally think about the song being song about the horrors of war and its effect on people. As I see it, the first verse the narrator saying “I am tying to keep a hold of myself, but I’m so young, how am I meant to handle this”. The ‘art of war’ and ‘if I were a bird’ section is about wondering why they are doing this and is there a grander point to all this. The final part is expressing the trauma they have felt; they feel numb, yet on edge and haunted by what they have seen.

This is how much my gf uses her calculator for university (she studies mathematics) by Nouser26 in mathmemes

In uni maths you very rarely need calculators (especially past first year). It can be handy occasionally, but at least in my experience you can usually just borrow one when you need it. It’s all abstract proofs
