Salpa fusiformis

From (Spanish) Las salpas, las extrañas criaturas que llenan las playas de Málaga

estos invertebrados no tienen nada que ver con las medusas, por lo que no son urticantes, (...)

"Son el paso intermedio entre los invertebrados y los vertebrados, puesto que tienen una primitiva columna, y forman parte del plancton, la sopa marina que es la base de la cadena alimenticia en el mar", ha manifestado.


These invertebrates have nothing to do with jellyfish, so they are not stinging, (…)

“They are the intermediate step between invertebrates and vertebrates, since they have a primitive column, and they are part of plankton, the marine soup that is the base of the food chain in the sea,” he said.

By the way, both links in your post lead to two different Spanish editions, mine is the one from the second link.

Thanks... I must have had a brain fart. I don't know why I though it was a German edition, probably the font (facepalm).

Fixed!

Awesome! Thank you very much for the heads up.

It seems to be working perfectly, even with videos. This is great!

Agree, Momo is GREAT! I resonate a lot with both books.

The fantasy parts of the NES sometimes feel like allegory but mostly feel like folly.

Note that (if I'm not mistaken), NES is mostly an adaptation of Nietzsche's ideas:

  • Will to power = "Do what you wish" written in Auryn
  • Eternal recurrence = many "infinite loops" hidden over the book

Many parts of the book make more sense once I was aware of those references (which was not so long ago).

Also sorry lol

Hehe, no need for it.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying the films!

I thought about adding a warning about the movies... I find very hard to ackowledge they exist (half kidding :P). Not because they are bad, but they are sooo different from the book; it's sad for me that they are the reference for the name.

I'm not sure I would recommend the book to children younger than ... (?) 11-12 years old. Although maturity in this regard is very personal and subjective and I'm not the one to say who should read what.

I don't really have anything to add, I just love this book. I searched for "The NeverEnding Story" in this community, saw that there was no post about it and wanted to fix that :).

Image found on Facebook. I think the source of that specific printing is the Spanish version of the book, [EDIT: as pointed by @alvarolh@lemm.ee, the version on the link is also a Spanish version, I may have had a brainfart because of the font (?)] ~~but it's very similar to some German version covers~~.

 

Hi, I'm focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:

EDIT: I did not create any of those communities

I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.

Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don't post very long lists, I'm already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.

Thanks!

EDIT: Added descriptions for each community.

IMHO as a random user is that, given the nature of the fediverse, that makes more sense to be an option for instance admins. I'm personally more inclined to leave that decision to each user, but I see how the network effects play a role and how someone would want to enforce their decission on their own instances.

Anyway, it's an interesting discussion and I like to try to understand the consquences of each implementation.

I'm not an expert, so those who know more, please correct me.

FYI: with the script User Details on Hover you can also see karma in Lemmy. Example.

From what I understand, there are technical issues with this. Allowing people to hide the karma if they want is easy. But blocking people for seeing karma even if they want is much harder. Note that if you want karma for posts and comments (to be able to sort the most voted ones), then the user karma is just a very easy query away (just sum the karma of that user's posts and comments). EDIT: I realize that this would not solve the issue either: ~~There are technical ways to do anonymous and auditable voting, but I think that would be too overkill for the fediverse.~~

Thanks for the work.

Is there any RSS Feed to keep up with Proxigram (to know if and when public IG RSS feeds are added)?

~not the user who you were replying to~

if a whole nation would be moved onto my homeland, and from now on it wouldn’t be my homeland, but theirs. Is that how it worked?

The thing is... that describes the situation of multiple existing countries (USA, ahem) and, if you go back enough in history, probably almost every country in the world.

I tried a few reverse image searches (below) with no luck. Closest thing I found is Cockcroft–Walton generator
