Maybe the artist just screwed it up, but there's a snake species that really does have eyes positioned like that, on top of its head. Arabian sand boa:
Basically yes (though it's probably not a flash game), diep.io
It's going to take a million trouser legs to get some things back on track...
Platypuses are mammals, but they’re weird enough
We probably wouldn't consider them nearly as weird if they were more numerous than any other mammal species and lived all over the world. So their comparison to catholicism is weird.
and then it will turn out the monster was inside me all along
there's only seven stories in the world
There isn't. That's a completely nonsensical statement, no serious scholar of litearture/film/etc. would claim something of the sort. While there have been attempts to analyse the "basic" stories and narrative structures (Propp's model of fairy tales, Greimas' actantial model, Campbell's well-known hero's journey), they're all far from universally applicable or satisfying.
Yeah, I'll shill for dbzer0 as the place to host the community.
At least we won't have any dang countries forcing time zones there to be in odd shapes.
Umm... based??
less hate towards those who own several houses
There wasn't hate, period. I find it a foreign and even anachronistic mindset, I'd sooner expect people here to be simply jealous of those better-off. Also, owning several houses, not just two, could be problematic, the govt would probably try to nationalise some of them, at the very least in the early period.
I don't know the details of how it was all managed, housing wasn't definitely guaranteed (SFRY had a rapid urbanisation of the population, and apparently it wasn't easy to meet the demand for new housing), but overall the rate of homelessness was quite low, in part also thanks to the culture that didn't mind large families living in a single house.
I kind of find it funny that people on Lemmy are so strictly against owning multiple houses, while it was completely ordinary for many people in my country (Croatia) to own two houses while the country was under literal socialist government (Yugoslavia).
