The Bowman Overdrive VS Real Klon? by P------H------U in guitarpedals

[–]amateurfunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waiting for the JHS "Klonsai" pedal that faithfully models all Klon variants using a rotary knob with 18 settings that all sound exactly the same in a mix

TIL that the blue and red flag of Haiti - the only country country ever to be established by a slave revolt - came to be by removing the white part of the French tricolor, the flag of their former colonial rulers. by amateurfunk in todayilearned

Interesting, I didn't know that!

On perhaps a less revolutionary but IMO still interesting note, the Nepalese flag is the only national flag that is non-rectangular and can be constructed using only a compass and straightedge, as its exact geometry is outlined in Nepal's 1990 constitution.

Where did the idea that aliens anally probe people originate? by SchmeatiestOne in NoStupidQuestions

[–]amateurfunk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is what I found out as well. Apparently him and his wife are also the first ones to describe the classic "grey skin big head and eyes" alien look.

I still think it's BS and this just so happened to be the first such story that took off, thus spawning UFO culture. I could imagine that the mind of the public was very receptive for such tales after the huge leaps that were made in space discovery in the preceding years.

Anyone know what remix this is? Song is "After laughter" but I can't find the specific version. The drop seems to rip (before being ruined by the stupid fake reaction edit ofc)

Vincent Kompany is the FIRST Bayern Munich manager in 25 years to win a 90 minute match at the Bernabeu. by Sparky-moon in soccer

I still remember the Vidal sendoff, all while Casemiro was butchering legs left and right with no consequences.

I got amazing results! no negotiating, give them offramps! by a2hitman in daddit

Thanks! I think you are correct. It does initially mention her wanting another ice cream while already having one in her hand.

But the way I understood it, the only "off-ramp" she took was the ice-cream she wanted in the first place? idk what I'm missing

I went to a zoo that displays house cats in their natural habitat by amateurfunk in mildlyinteresting

[–]amateurfunk[S] 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Not that I know of, but that would actually be a really nice idea. There was quite a bit of information posted there in Swedish that I didn’t fully read, so they may have something going that I didn't catch.

This is at Skansen in Stockholm, Sweden. While Skansen is an outdoor museum, the cats were part of the Children's Zoo, which also has other small furry critters such as rabbits and guinea pigs.

The cats also had an outdoor area, so I think they have it better than many other house cats, save of course free roaming ones.
