That's the most downvoted comment I've seen on Lemmy so far, cool.
Can't unsee it now
Thank you for your free and much-needed/appreciated work!
It's natural!
Damn that was quite a journey but it makes sense!
I'm not a native speaker I thought proverbial meant frequently used in a proverb/idiom
You cannot upload videos directly to lemmy. A nice workaround is uploading them to Catbox and then copying the link in the post upload page. The video will be embedded on Lemmy (no the need to be redirected to an external site)!
Hope this is useful and thanks for the good content, I wish more people started posting like you!
Daaaamn
They hung up trees with ropes about 10 kilometers from the Russian border to hide the road from airplanes.
It looks like it's not enough to cover the road but, when the road was viewed from an angle (not directly above) and a high altitude, the trees concealed enough of the road to make it difficult to identify as a road.

The Sun doesn’t have a solid surface like Earth and the other rocky planets and moons. The part of the Sun commonly called its surface is the photosphere. The word photosphere means "light sphere" – which is apt because this is the layer that emits the most visible light. It’s what we see from Earth with our eyes.
Although we call it the surface, the photosphere is actually the first layer of the solar atmosphere. It's about 250 miles thick, with temperatures reaching about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,500 degrees Celsius). That's much cooler than the blazing core, but it's still hot enough to make carbon – like diamonds and graphite – not just melt, but boil. Most of the Sun's radiation escapes outward from the photosphere into space.
This species of bird uses trees for winter storage, which are called granary trees and may have up to 50,000 holes, each filled with an acorn. The acorn woodpecker’s main food source is insects, but acorns serve as key nutritional backup, allowing the birds to make it through the winter.

If you crane your neck and look up while standing in front of St Lambert's Church in Münster, Germany, you can make out three iron cages hanging from the church's steeple, just above the clock face.
The cages are empty, but five hundred years ago they held the mutilated, rotten corpses of three revolutionaries who led one of the most brutal Protestant revolutions in history.

Jellyfish have a complex life cycle that includes both a sexual stage and an asexual stage.
In the sexual stage, the body (called a medusa) produces gametes (eggs and sperm). Then the eggs fertilized by sperm develop into a free-swimming larval form called planula.
After a brief period floating about in surface waters, the larvae settle to the sea floor, attaching themselves to a rock or the seafloor. They develop into a polyp (asexual stage) and begin to feed and grow.
In spring, some of the polyps start to bud off immature jellyfish known as ephyra larvae. These grow into mature jellyfish.
