Environmental sustainability is such a turn on

Europe had a similar technique called “coppicing” (where you encourage new trees to grow out of old stumps) but didn’t do the pruning, so the resulting trees aren’t as straight and have knots.

And then there is pollarding (another ancient European technique), which is when you cut off the upper branches of a tree to promote the growth of a dense head of foliage and branches:

I would not be surprised if other cultures also had similar techniques, although the Japanese version seems on casual glance to have higher-quality results than the European version.

The problem isn’t that nobody had ever thought of something like this before. The problem is that industrialization and late stage capitalism both privilege “cheap and quick” over “sustainable and high-quality.”

I think it’s incredible how seals experience the world.

Many of the deep-diving seals can go blind during their lifetime and live just fine.

Round whiskers flap around in the water and create their own turbulence, but the specific whisker shape they have cancels turbulence, so they can pinpoint trails of turbulence from prey. Other places to see my posts: INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / ETSY / KICKSTARTER

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)
