Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It’s mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells 🥚, seashells 🐚, and pearls 🦪 are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world’s longest (Mammoth) and deepest (Veryovkina Krubera is once again the world’s deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations
Mammoth Cave in the United States
Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
okay random as fuck but I saw a tweet which made me think about those MySpace bulletin surveys you used to do back in the day and, being the hoarder that I am, I actually found some that I had saved as text files
and holy shit, one of the first answers slapped me in the fucking face. I won’t quote it verbatim on the off-chance that someone has a pre-wipe MySpace database, but it basically reads
internalized (?) transphobia (is this overkill pls advise)
LORD SOMEONE GO TELL THIS CHILD THAT TRANS PEOPLE EXIST
that aside, I honestly had no idea I that kind of explicit eggy sentiment that early on. Sure, it’s very flippant, but like–that’s a weird thing for a cis guy to say, right? Wish I’d kept a diary, but I guess MySpace surveys will have to do
fuck I definitely have some super eggy shit lost to the sands of time from Myspace and old forums I was on as a kid
