  • I reposted one of my posts to !environment@beehaw.org about British Columbia refusing emergency action to save the last wild Spotted Owl left in Canada, so it may have been that. I usually just post fun and educational things, but I thought that was an important bit of news a broader range of environmentalists should be aware of.

    I try to post one or 2 things a day on Superb Owl to give people something positive to look forward to each morning. I also try to find places you can actually go to visit owls and other raptors in person to get the full experience of these amazing creatures.

    As Lemmy evolves, I hope things get to the point we can refederate with more instances so we have finer control in cross promoting positive and inspiring communities.

    If you have an alt besides Beehaw though, come check it out. I wrote a long posts about owl feet with lots of pictures and info that got over 600 upvotes. I’m researching to write the next one about the different types of feathers and what they do.



  • I mostly agree with you about the looking bad and not tasting good, but I have made the “Meat Hand” before and that was just as good as normal food if you like meatloaf. Just make your recipe of choice but form into a hand shape, top it with a little cheese before baking, and cook on a sheet pan, then transfer into mashed taters. Looks great/horrifying, hard to mess up, and tastes like regular food. Plus ketchup makes “blood.”. Options fingernails are just onion slivers and the wrist is the onion core/center part.

    Pic below isn’t mine, but mine came out looking just as good.


  • I still like the concept of Beehaw, but I’ve found myself spending less time here. The last month or so, the content seems to be all negative things, so I end up either skipping most of it, it’s not coming on this instance every day. I try sorting Local/Top and Local/New, but I’m just not finding much.

    I’m still mostly single-handedly trying to get !superbowl@lemmy.world to take off as an actual animal education spot and not a meme sub. I’ve been writing better and longer articles and showcasing rescues in each state. So there biggest chunk of effort I put into Lemmy is spent there, and I used to come over hear to actual browse content, but World and Beehaw seem to have reach equilibrium on the quality vs attitude, but World seems to have significantly more quantity.

    I feel bad you guys can’t see my posts because of the defederation, and I’m not sure how that’s progressing since I don’t much follow the tech of Lemmy itself. But it Beehaw keeps on it’s current path or goes non-Lemmy, in but going to do 2 things, and I’d just stick to trying to make Lemmy better.



  • Reporting back, just finished watching the movie.

    I’ll start by saying I like horror movies in general, but not really the torture stuff like Saw or The Collection and things like that, hence why I’ve seen Saw 1, 2, and maybe 5 and that’s it.

    I do enjoy the basic premise where he only goes after people that have it coming as far as movie victims go, and that he gives them a bit of a chance to survive, especially if they would just stop being assholes for a minute.

    This movie felt like what I remember if the early saw movies. I think watching the TS version may have helped a little, reducing the video quality to make it feel even more vintage, but it was fine for my viewing given my overall interest level.

    I could recognize the main cast of characters, but even if I didn’t, it fills you in on all you need to know, so it can definitely stand on its own.

    The traps did all seem pretty original ish. Since there’s nothing new plot wise here, it’s still you have X minutes to free yourself painfully or you die. As far as are these things you could make yourself from Home Depot parts, maybe one or 2 of them, but they’re still a bit out there, but better than I remember some stuff being in other movies.

    Overall, I think if you enjoy this type of movie you should give it a shot. If you don’t like them at all, it’s not going to win you over. It still made be feel queasy and uncomfortable in a not pleasant way. I feel the traps are still pretty unfair and sadistic and are more revengey than teachy, but that’s just me. But if you like the originals and fell off the series somewhere, you can watch this no problem.
