  • I’ve been having problems with it misbehaving on this instance for a while, so I know where you’re coming from. Was also having problems on lemmy.world - but they seem to have beaten whatever it was, because it works fine there now. I really can’t stand lemmy’s interface without old so I’ll check back here every few weeks or so to look over the piracy stuff and see if you added it back. Cheers.


















  • I went looking for a picture of it today and got very confused when maps sent me to Australia. There is a rural locale in Australia, named after the battle - Australian soldiers fought in the battle, so that does make sense. What threw me is that the road in the Australian version has a curvature that is very similar to the pictures in the OP:

    And yet, this is not the actual Passchendaele. That short circuited my brain for a few seconds this morning, imagining that it had just… never been rebuilt? Wait… part of WWII was fought in Australia? wtf?

    Anyway, no. The real deal is in Belgium. It was rebuilt. Here it is (lol):

    How weird is that?
