As an Australian I cringe every time I see that photo.
Interestingly enough, most of the venomous shit in Australia is venomous only to people, if I have heard correctly. Anyways, have a Serbian hospital in surprisingly good condition https://i.redd.it/5s36r9kpa8621.jpg

Tiny bit late for big oil rigs, but a good mention would include Troll A. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110613/5f1536df-86e3-43b4-9298-3a8d03b9c684/20edd4004c26e358ddca7eebc79accf5.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110613/93fafc3a-29a1-4d64-a8a7-6e1153d36851/troll-a-the-tallest-structure-ever-moved-by-mankind-7.jpg
Would be fun riding that thing on the way out to sea.
Is there a reason it's so damn tall?

It's so hard to grasp just how massive these things are against the ocean. I knew they were huge but never had a proper frame of reference
has anyone ever seen a target in a mall before? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/110042/4647036e-4c76-41e7-9036-da91da4469a4/image.png
Pretty normal here in Australia.
yes
Never seen a Walmart or a Target inside a mall. Malls have always felt something "high class", a kind of treat to shop through while those stores always felt kind of like a convenience store in comparison.
targets in malls pretty common in california half the malls here are super fancy, and half are run down, with very few in the middle
The photos in that post are of it while it was being towed into position after construction. Once it's there it gets sunk down to the seafloor and anchored there. Here's what it looks like now: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Troll_A_Platform.jpg/640px-Troll_A_Platform.jpg
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/215204/0c3f60b8-8072-46b2-aa1c-f120ad2a5b0d/Printing_New_York_times (1).jpg Long before the age of computerized printing presses and journalists being able to file stories via computer, the process of creating the day’s newspaper was a much more arduous, hand-made process. In September 1942, Office of War Information photographer Marjory Collins paid a visit to the offices of the New York Times, located at the iconic One Times Square and an annex on 43rd Street. There, she documented each step of the messy, physical process as news coming in over the wires was sorted, edited, rewritten, laid out, and printed, all under an ever-approaching deadline. The Thursday, Sept. 10, 1942 issue was dominated by news of fighting in Europe and the Pacific, as well as rationing and cutbacks on the home front (along with recaps of a Yankees victory over the Browns and horse races at the Aqueduct Racetrack). Rest of the article can be read here. There's also a ton of really good photos with some informative blurbs on their history - check it out!
Here is the Trautonium, the world's first electric instrument - invented in 1929. It was so unpopular that only a handful were made, until the Nazis decided that it was an awesome instrument having been invented by a German. Currently there is only one man in the whole world that actively tours with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tQQEChMq1A
Did you know orangutans can paddle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFACrIx5SZ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-qK-zMT9BE An ex-captive Orangutan, in the wilds of Borneo, steals a fisherman's dugout canoe tied to the dock. The Orangutan paddles the dugout to the middle of the lagoon and boards the anchored diesel riverboat. She pulls up a submerged fish trap tied to the boat, loads it in her dugout and pushes off again. She takes a fish out of the trap and eats it - the goal of her mission. Shot by David Root in 1987.

https://amphilsoc.org/exhibits/animals/img/case-four/lightbox/15+Simpson+Guanaco.jpg Simpson Guanaco George Simpson (1902-1984). George Simpson with Baby Guanaco, 1930. George Simpson Papers. Photograph. (Mss.Ms.Coll.31) A specialist in Mesozoic and early Cenozoic mammals, Simpson’s contributions to the fusion of Darwinian natural selection and Mendelian genetics were both empirical and theoretical. Simpson was one of the most influential paleontologists of the twentieth century, helped in part by his ability to write successfully for both a technical, professional audience and a popular audience. Here he is pictured with a young guanaco. The guanaco is a member of the camel family related to the llama, alpaca, and vicuna, and is native to the mountainous areas of southeastern South America. Simpson encountered this guanaco while visiting the Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia.

Some are just floats, because the ocean is simply too deep to have one touch the seabed. It just makes you think how fucking massive the ocean is and what lurks beneath

Contrary to popular belief Cavalry was effective throughout the entirety of the war. The Secunderabad Brigade, for example, made a successful charge on July 14th, 1916 at High Wood where they captured over 100 Germans and machine guns. These sorts of charges were also effective in the early and late war. Cavalry also fufilled a major role in reconnaissance.
