Collecting snail shells. Turns out there are hundreds of land and freshwater snail species, many that are easily identifiable by even as an amateur. Some are common but many are in narrow habitats or restricted ranges, making collecting an adventure. The microsnails might be the coolest. They're insanely small but under a hand lens they can have very intricate shells and they are everywhere! It's like pokemon but irl.

Isn't having a job lined up a prerequisite for immigration in most countries?

100% agree with you OP.

I've been listening to a lot of music that is featured on the NPR shows Hearts of Space and Echos, which i highly recommend. The following artists/bands are of that type, instrumental, chill, "slow music for fast times", and all are available on Bandcamp.

Hollan Holmes

Kiasmos

Lars Leonhard

Michael Stearns

Röyksopp

It's the rising posts for /r/all. So all the posts from all the subs that, if they continue to get up votes and comments, are close to being on the front page.

Uh, no... these are the rising posts for /r/all. I have zero interest in crypto.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists almost entirely of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity.[1][2][3][4] These intelligent bots are assumed to have been made, in part, to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to ultimately manipulate consumers.[5] Further, proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception.[1] The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017.

Every day the Dead Internet theory looks more and more correct.

These are the rising posts on /r/all, not my feed. I've used /r/all/rising for years because it gives more frequent and diverse posts than the same couple dozen lowest common denominator posts that stay on the front page all day.

Up until recently it's been a great way to see a lot of diverse and new content instead of the same dozen lowest common denominator shit posts that stay on the front page all day.
