kinda wish it was there but just “BUTTER CHICKEN”
Slime molds aren’t fungi, sadly. OP will now be launched into the sun for their crime
those shits are why people don’t pick mushrooms: “oh yeah this thing that looks like death incarnate? perfectly edible. Noononononono don’t touch the one that looks like a champignon it’ll erase you from the fabric of the universe!”

Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•The world's passenger railways: 1,166 notable train routes on one map
4·22 days agoDon’t take this map as representative, especially India and a lot of Asia have WAY more passenger lines than this.
The only places i’d confidently say are actually representative of a miserably small network of passenger lines are North America and Australia.
In fact i’d say Australia is a bit optimistic since even just the route between Melbourne and Adelaide runs a couple times per week and is pretty terrible for commuting.

3·3 months agowe literally treat livestock better than this during transport, if only because livestock has value and dealing with nasty stuff is nasty
And that’s something i’ll never understand about people who are okay with this: it’s depraved to treat people like cattle, but to treat them worse goes beyond depravity and into being the very definition of evil. Presumably the perpetrators consider suffering a positive…

3·4 months agooh for sure, the most obvious piece of critique is that cars become exponentially more obviously moronic the more people/density you have, which makes the existence of cars at all in most of asia completely insane.

11·4 months agoNot to excuse them, but they do have an absolutely fucking absurd population and population density, so it should be noted that they’re doing hilariously better than much of the world, proportionately.
I’d say they’re a lot like japan: Very good in some ways, still quite amazingly shitty in other ways, and they’ve ended up like that because they’re fairly non-corrupt (at least on a local level, in the case of china) and actually prioritize genuine economic growth (as in: having industry) rather than making people happy or jerking off the friends of politicians.

1·5 months agoAnd beyond the government, the modern culture of china is like… one or two generations old? Imagine having half the rural population of a country move into cities in the span of like 40 years, that’s what china has experienced.
I think it’s quite fair to say that china is to a large degree one of the youngest countries on earth, right now.


certainly looks like it: General shape and size, hanging veil, white gills, “flaky” stem…
And most importantly i can’t see anything that would hint at any other ID.
