Mildly Interesting

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 cold winters protect us from the spread of many different kinds of invasive species.

Confirmation that the USA is a hellscape

just moved from Tennessee to Alberta, can confirm it's bluer up here

Hey! Welcome to Alberta! We're not all crazy blue voters here, just a disappointing amount.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Took me a second to remember that the US is the weird one with the red conservative party.

[–] WandowsVista@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

..that is also how I took it haha. really gotta get the us political dichotomy out of my mind now that I'm an Albertan.

And replace it with the Canadian political dichotomy, where blue is red and red is blue! Oh, and we have Orange too, which doesn't get the votes it needs.

And welcome to Alberta!

Hold up, are you saying democrats are crazy?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

The colors are swapped in the USA. Blue = conservative party, red = liberal party in most of the world.

[–] WandowsVista@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

the us follows the star wars color scheme. red for genocidal maniacs and blue for elitist bureaucrats.

that being said I still recommend people in the US vote dem like their lives depend on it, because it very much seems like they do, then hold those fuckers accountable when they side with the billionaires anyway.

I'm from northern maine. That blue spot is why I live in colombia now.

I mean really trumps the reason but that blue spot too.

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like with climate change coming, it'll be much better to be where there is some blue and preferably at some elevation.

[–] teft@piefed.social 6 points 17 hours ago

Nah. Colombia is mountainous. If you want colder just go higher and if you want warmer just go lower. Like I live in medellin and the average is 23 or so but if you go south to bogota the average is 15 because even though it's closer to the equator it's considerably higher altitude than medellin at 1500m. If all else fails i'll move to one of the snowy peaks.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 15 hours ago
