Now find his friend the wizard.

I think he deserves an award for being possibly the stupidest human being alive, like a reverse Nobel.

Are the ignobels still a thing?

Ignobels had or have a different goal.

Big_Boss_77 ,

Okay, I hadn’t heard about them in forever, and honestly couldn’t remember WHAT exactly their goals were.

Same here, although they where/are still research related IIRC. Not given to people like in the posted screenshot.

So instead you looked this up, lol. And it seems I was not wrong.

Where’s Wally?

There’s Wally!

Suck_on_my_Presence , to cat in UPDATE: Top Platform is Complete

What are you using for the posts? 2x4 or 4x4?

I saw it was from scraps mostly, but how much would you estimate this to cost vs a store bought tree?

sneekee_snek_17 OP ,

Untreated 4x4, which I think cost like…$10-$15 maybe? Then carpet adhesive was like $20, some wood screws, and more staples. I’ve probably got $60-$90 in it, but it would be pricier if I didn’t have the brackets already.

It’s hard to say exactly, but I will say that if you bought everything you needed from, say, home depot, it would be very expensive, probably 2-3× a similarly sized store bought model. But the store bought ones are small for large cats, so your mileage may vary

lewdian69 , to lemmyshitpost in Hey guys, I found him.

Are you trying to imply the short sleeves instead of long, no winter hat with a pom pom, no cane using, non skinny as a rail gentleman on the left is Waldo from the Where’s Waldo book series? Well I say this post is shit.

Today , to cat in Stretched Leggie

I love the stretch leggies and the danglers!

Sam_Bass , to lemmyshitpost in Eat it

I guess a bb wouldnt do much huh

Avialle , to science_memes in Explain that, science nerds!

He could also shoot himself in the head. The surprising part? He’s still there. Maybe not much alive, but still there.

Potatisen , to lemmyshitpost in Hey guys, I found him.

All this time we thought he was running and hiding but he wasn’t running, nor hiding. He was searching and he finally found her. Waldina is the reason Waldo isn’t hiding anymore.

BilboBargains , to science_memes in Explain that, science nerds!

Technically correct, the best kind of correct. Also, this is trolling.

AllOutOfBubbleGum , to lemmyshitpost in Eat it

The FAA might have something to say about it.

gigachad ,

The FAA has nothing to say in my country, they won’t stop me from balloning around

Ookami38 ,

Any country with controlled airspace will have some initialism brigade with something to say about it.

Balloon cops

As they are more commonly known the FAA, and their enforcement arm - the USAF

cordlesslamp ,

The FAA can command the USAF?

photonic_sorcerer ,
@photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

As they’re part of the federal government’s executive branch, kind of?

CookieOfFortune ,

I mean there was that Chinese balloon last year that was literally shot down by a F-22 so… yes?

DreamlandLividity ,

They don’t command them, but they call them in like you call the police.

Fun fact: From time to time, a pilot forgets to change frequency when entering a new area. This means the plane looks like it is not communicating. This is the most common reason why jets are sent to intercept an airliner. Of course, I would pay to see a recording of the pilots as they see the jet in front of them and realize they messed up.

Wilzax ,

Why would they send jets before trying different frequencies?

Seems like a waste of resources and too rapid of an escalation imo

DreamlandLividity , (edited )

I think switching to a frequency that a different region uses could be dangerous, since then the airplanes near do border would receive the signal but the airport wouldn’t. This could lead to misscommunications.

Also, the airline pays for the jets.

PS: source is youtu.be/9qM-xN7Bgg8

PPS: They do try the emergency frequency, routing a message through the previous area controller as well as anything else they can think of first. I left it out for brevity. Of course, fighter jets are not the first choice.

Not directly, but depending on the airspace you are violating you might end up meeting some people who have absolutely zero chill

Rolive ,

They have no jurisdiction in Europe though.

MonkderDritte ,

Air space is regulated and enforced here too. Even for drones.

What airport is this?

Skunk , (edited )

EFHK, Helsinki Vantaa runway 15.

OH-LWL Airbus A350-900 is coming home from somewhere probably hotter.

You can see this tower here on gmap

It seems to be a primary radar for ground traffic.

From that angle, OP worked an early shift on the airport, nice shot sir !

(You can see the rwy 15 and YB taxiway junction on the photo and on this chart)

Where was this?

The Waterlilies on display at the Orangerie is one of the best art installations I’ve ever seen.
