the dutch sure love their water thingies! i'm not sure what this is called in english (it's called a lock! thanks petra and kelly!), but I think it's to let smol vessels traverse differences in water level. so the boat parks in the middle part, which will change the water to the target's level, and then the boat can continue boating there

just some nice landscapes

LOOK AT HOW MANY WINDMILLS THERE ARE! yeah, zoom in on that stuff on the horizon. that's not normal. they have a windmill problem over there. just one more windmill bro, one more windmill will complete me. swear to god bro just one more windmill

(*to be clear I love windmills, they are dope af)

@bazkie with a seeming lack of hills in Dutchieland, what is the maximum render distance of your eyes, at any given time?

@jwtownshend well they made it always be a bit foggy, else the framerate would drop too much

@bazkie 🤣

@jwtownshend forreal tho, checking maps, those windmills are about 6-8 kms away from where I was, and they were very clearly visible to the eye :)

@bazkie interesting! there’s a 400m hill walking distance from my house, on the very clearest days you can just about see an old coal power plant about 50km away… if you’re ever in the uk and fancy exploring the Peak District for a few days you’re welcome to use my spare room as a base

@jwtownshend oh wow that's intense!

I'll never be in the UK probably but I appreciate it!

@bazkie hahahaha 100% don’t blame you! the way it’s going here, I might be getting my irish passport, so i can live in an actual tolerant country somewhere 😅

@jwtownshend exactly! 😅 (I'm not a very holiday'y person anyway, but yeah UK wouldn't be high on my list rn even if I were)

@bazkie me neither tbh. I find travel incredibly stressful. Like, yay i’m away from my pets, plushies, home comforts, familiarity, safe foods, etc. now in an unknown place where i feel lost, scared, can’t communicate (even worse than usual), and it’s expensive and the weather is too hot, and I am tired and just want to be with my cat… but yay holidays! Or something…

@jwtownshend yeah I feel that. I've been procrastinating on going on a proper holiday for 21 years lol

home is safe and warm! (if maybe a bit boring sometimes)

@bazkie i last went on holiday for 3 days in 2014, before that 2004 i think, have only spent one full night away from home since i’ve had my cat over 8 years ago

@jwtownshend oh yeah that's quite homey alright! your cat will appreciate it
