This is definitely wholesome, but that is also a really cool rock. Everybody wins.

I live down the road from Poole.

This is probably the most exciting thing in the whole county tbh

You've got a man with his nob out etched into a hill. What more do you want?

So weird to think anyone else from Dorset would've even heard of Lemmy

I think anywhere with an IT presence is gonna have Linux people, and by extension potentially Lemmy users.

We do fit a stereotype 😆

As someone who worked for a (university) museum, I just know it made that worker's day to put that display together.

[–] pyre 22 points 4 months ago

props to the museum, but also that's a pretty cool rock. good job bethan

Taking stones from children and displaying them!? The UK’s colonial ambitions knows no bounds!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

That's really sweet. It matters to show that we all have a heart.

Any amateur geologists out there have any idea what kind of rock that is?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I'm not a geologist amateur or otherwise but it looks a lot like a flint stone which has those kinda chalky spots. I've got a very similar looking one from Rügen, an island in the North of Germany.

[–] JPSound 9 points 4 months ago

Ngl, Bethan has good taste in rocks. This was the right call by both parties.

Happy to! It was such a heartwarming story I had to share it 🥰 .

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

What a pretty rock! I wonder why it's coloured that way?

Enjoys

geometric, similar to futura

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Okay but is it worth more than a cool leaf?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

They were probably just thankful of having something to put in it.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Imo if a kid would be terminally sick or something then that would be wholesome but otherwise it is just funny

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I think we just have too much media emphasis on such cases - they are absolutely important, but they make us forget that the very regular children doing something like this and adults empowering them is just as wholesome, precious, and important.

[–] rain_worl 0 points 1 month ago

imagine, a kid sent a rock to a museum, and the museum rejected it. this outcome is more wholesome.
