I would also love that but I live on an island in the middle of the ocean. Tends to be a bit isolating, unfortunately.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

is it a nice island at least?

I'm not in an island, sorry

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It's not too bad. Pretty during some times of year, cold as fuck in other times. Newfoundland.

It's not so far from my island. If I come for a visit someday I'll let ya know we can get lunch or married or something.

You gotta get screeched in.

I know that you're close by because I didn't need to explain what the fuck being screeched in meant lmao

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm nowhere close by and would be grateful for an explanation.

Well it's hard to put into words. Instead, I'd recommend watching this 5 minute clip from the musical Come From Away as people are screeched in after having it explained to them. Typing this out will be impossible to capture the chaos, bewilderment, bizarre traditions and wonderment that comes from my silly little island.

The musical is a Broadway musical about all the passengers on the planes that landed in Newfoundland. Small town doubled in population overnight to help everyone out and the play is about that moment and the community surrounding it. As someone who lived through that myself as I was living in the area, it's a fantastic play.

Here's the clip. Up on Streamable and only there for 2 days because I ripped the clip out of the musical myself.

I did not expect to put a musical in my ARR client today.

Thank you for the link and information!

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Anytime. Newfoundland is a fuckin awesome place with a weird and unique culture. Love being able to share it.

Go on, kiss the fish!
