After going through the paper, it’s not just “alien plant with eyes”, but rather “alien mimic plant with eyes”! This plant “sees” other plants around (above?) itself and changes the shape of its own leaves to match those of the other plant.

I wonder if the effect can be chained, and if so, how long the chain could be? I’m imagining an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking the first alien mimic plant with eyes.

Not sure if this is the one you’re referring to, but NileRed made a video on this:

I don’t want anything out of this for myself, as I currently have enough on my plate as it is. I’m just commenting to boost engagement. I love that you’re doing this, though! Happy holidays, everyone! *<|:-)

Piggybacking onto this to mention my go-to online RegEx editor: RegExr. It lets you test the regex as you type, explains the particular symbols used, as well as has a sidebar where you can see different pattern types categorically. I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now, and haven’t had any reason to use much else (after I discovered this).

I agree with this completely! I am also not generally a fan of such gatekeeping, but in cases like these I feel that it is not just justified, but rather necessary.

I once asked the admin and … a defederation of such instances is not seen as an action to take.

Could you please rephrase? Not sure I understand this properly. What I think I understand is that the instance admin is not a big fan of defederation. Is that correct?

I also use Feeder, and have been using it for about a year now. There is no way to delete a single post without deleting the entire feed. What is probably happening is that you have disabled “Read” articles in the filter:

<details><summary>Alt Text</summary>Screenshot of Feeder main screen. Shows filter menu opened displaying checkboxes “Unread”, “Saved”, “Recently Read”, and “Read”. All options are checked.</details>

That is a scarecrow.

Edit:

spoiler, context

I just went back to the song and watched it again, which turned into a Bo Burnham marathon. He is absolutely amazing!
