Make it a rhombic dodecahedron for extra style points.

You should read up on the Silurian Hypothesis. It’s a fun scientific paper asking whether, if another intelligent species had arisen on Earth in deep time, we would be able to detect it. One of the most promising theoretical signals might be unexplained carbon spikes…. Very little other evidence could be expected to endure. No reason to believe it’s true, hard to prove a negative, etc etc, but it’s fun to think about.

Cheeseweed Flapwort sounds like a hobbit name

This is the most ignorant take I’ve heard in a long time, so congrats on that I guess. Walkable towns are in some ways easier than walkable cities. A city you need to be walkable across the entire city, over and over again, a town just needs to do it once. Anyway, I live in a walkable small town. One of several I’ve lived in. It’s great.

Your impression of a city is probably skewed by how you interact with it. If you drive in, pay for parking, go to events or attractions, eat out, etc. it all adds up. But that’s not necessarily the experience of someone who lives in a city. They’re living their life, not sightseeing.

There is also “Molly” in English but supposedly it has no relation etymologically

I dunno. I was surprised to learn the extent to which it’s carcinogenic. And the fact that there are no known benefits.

Cob and rammed earth are hard to beat if you’ve got the right environment for them

Not despite, but because! Drawing whatever the act is would be less funny

Things like bobby pins/head bands work well for this phase.

My favourite topping for fries is Patat Oorlog where you have mayonnaise on one side and peanut sauce on the other, with diced raw onions sprinkled on top. Based on that, this sounds delicious, especially if you put a squirt of sriracha on there too and ate it with potato bread.
