My dude, that's a paladin! You're thinking of the first name of that hobbit from Lord of the Rings.
I think your example is actually correct. Eating CAN be a noun, but in your example it is a present participle, a type of verb. It would be a noun if eating was the subject, ie: "eating is fun," where it would be a gerund. https://teacherblog.ef.com/grammar-recap-intro-to-gerunds-and-infinitives/
Oh wow, thank you. I completely missed it. Appreciate the response! I'll edit the post
Huh, wasn't really expecting this to be spot on 😅cool tool!
This was totally worth it. Really puts the immense scale of the ocean into perspective.
If you want to relive some of the magic of discovering these kinds of pages, I would recommend the game hypnospace outlaw. Really interesting game that captures this vibe, and allows you to explore a fake geocities type site through the lens of a moderator.
This actually could be a cool concept. Multiple ways to get the next key item, but some are significantly faster. Like, you could have whatever key item you need shipped, but that would take a day. Or you could go to the retail store and buy whatever, but then you have to spend money, stand in line etc. Or you can just find it in the back alley. Then it's just a timed challenge to find the best (or most fun) route, but you always have a way to progress.
Projects like these are so important. Preserving as much of the history of the web is the key to showing new generations what the internet was, helping us to build a better one for the future.
Yep! Since it is a smaller community, it feels less like screaming into the void. There's a good chance people will see a comment, even if it isn't made in the first hour or so.
What a phenomenal response. Every single day makes me happy that I chose lemme.ee as my home instance. Truly appreciate all of the hard work you are pouring into this. And we can see how difficult it is based off of your total transparency. Thank you!
I think one thing that may help with this is letting users stay on their instance when browsing others. Right now, if I want to hop over to another instance, I can definitely link there or comment if using the appropriate channel, but actually going there makes it seem like I am signed out. Implementing features like this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048 would help make the experience feel more cohesive, and encourage exploration of other instances without confusing users and accidentally encouraging sticking to one's own instance.
For accuracy sake, yes the depiction in the Olympics was meant to be Feast of the Gods, but that painting came after The Last Supper and is thought to be directly inspired by da Vinci. Last Supper - 1495 Feast of the Gods - 1635-1640
Linking Wikipedia. The primaries appear to be in French 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Festin_des_Dieux
