This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The eastern U.S. was so cloudless last week due to a massive high pressure system that you could actually see fall colors from space. (lemmy.world)

Whoa I didn't know you could see state and county lines from space. I guess maps are more realistic than I thought!

Imagine how much work it must be to chalk those lines every time it rains.

Bro this ain’t the 1800s, we’re obviously using LED light strips for that now. The downside is that a single section goes dark and we lose mapping data for the entire northeast. Totally worth it though when they turn on the strobe effect.
