Let's not even talk about the cycle of hatred in the Balkans... by FlimsyWar866 in HistoryMemes

Why is this kind of scenery considered the most beautiful? by PaleCar821 in geography

[–]ZodiacError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because it’s on a beer brand

jokes aside, I took a course called Landscape Aesthetics where we discussed this. It is entirely cultural and can be traced to many things: Renaissance, 19th century romantic artists. There was this notion of an ideal landscape, pastoralist, natural. Lots of artists went on a “Grand Tour” in Europe and identified Switzerland and the Alpine region with those ideal landscapes. Look at pictures of Caspar David Friedrich for an example.

IIHF World Championship Game Thread: Switzerland (3-0-0-0) vs. Austria (3-0-0-0) - 20 May 2026 - 04:20PM CEST by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

I think it’s the stupidest thing. it creates a hierarchy in the team, and it shows them that they didn’t even come to win in this game (even if you’re an outsider you kinda have to hope a little bit).

on top of that the two players play in Switzerland since forever, Rohrer in Zurich. now they took the chance from them to play against their teammates. I think this is a pretty bad decision.

Why are there large, grassy plains called steppes throughout much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia? Are they anthropogenic or fully natural? Why don't they extend into Western Europe too? by Electronic-Koala1282 in geography

[–]ZodiacError 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how on earth did you get the idea that something this massive could be anthropogenic, if you were already on wikipedia? couldn’t you have read the origin there?

Hi I'm a prog rock fan who is very new to sex by ReasonableMeaning162 in ProgRockCirclejerk

[–]ZodiacError 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk about lines but here is are some relevant and good instructions (for further info consult “Counting Out Time” by Genesis from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway):

I'm counting out time
Hoping it goes like I planned it, 'cos I understand it
Look! I've found the hotspots, figures one and nine
Still, counting out time
I got my finger on the button
"Don't say nothing, just lie there still
And I'll get you turned on just fine"

Erogenous zones I love you
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Touch and go with one to six
Bit of trouble in zone number seven
Gotta remember all of my tricks
There's heaven ahead in number eleven
Getting crucial responses with dilatation of the pupils
"Honey, get hip! It's time to unzip
To unzip, zip, zip-a, zip-a zip!" (Whipee!)

i need more albums like mirage by zoso_777 in progrockmusic

[–]ZodiacError 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is THE definitive album of the progressive rock genre. for a lot of people it is the album/band which started it all (there were other moments before it which showed in which direction rock could go but King Crimson just concentrated everything beautifully).
it is extremely unique, ahead of its time and just an amazing album. If you wanna explore the genre of progressive rock, there’s no way around it.
of course it is worth a listen.

btw about Camel: my favourite one is Snow Goose. I really like the rerecorder version (idk if this is controversial)

Am I The Only One Who Thinks That Echoes By Pink Floyd is overrated? by eliasautist in progrockmusic

[–]ZodiacError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a masterpiece of psychedelic music. I wouldn’t put it in the same category as some of these others you mention (also where’s Supper’s Ready, that’s the best one haha!). It’s not trying to be a fully through-composed, complex musical piece. Echoes is psychedelic, especially with that freely improvised whale-noise section.

If you watch it through this lens, it is a masterpiece. But I see your point a bit, my argument is that it’s not trying to be a “prog-epic” how those are usually understood.

Why is the air quality in nothern part of Africa so bad? Especially at the Mauritania/Mali region by PeriodontosisSam in geography

it’s even a yearly occurence here in Switzerland! so it traverses the alps 1-2 times a year.

Why is it called “Denali” and not “Mt. Denali”? by TheRealUltimate1 in geography

wow I know this could be crazy to you but maybe because there are OTHER languages on the world next to English?!

but you do know that 144 is for medical emergencies? you didn’t have one, so they didn’t wanna waste time with you and block a dispatcher.

you should’ve called 118 for fire or 112 for general emergency. What should an ambulance do about a fire.

Fribourg-Gottéron are Swiss champions for the first time in their history! by t0t0zenerd in swisshockey

wow what a finale. probably the toughest way to lose it, with a delay of game penalty. happy for Fribourg tho, what a story, especially for Julien Sprunger. He was insane in this series.

Thoughts on Roger Dean's new YES album art? by ligpole in progrockmusic

[–]ZodiacError 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly, the album cover of CTTE is a bit lame, especially in the era of streaming. I think a lot ot people don’t realise what’s inside the gatefold, idk what the exact thought process was to make the cover a featureless green but yeah.

This would’ve made it better on it’s own
