Had to look this one up. Hitchhiker's guide character for others like me...

Well that's fucking stupid. Can you see what's in the modlog? I can't look right now.

This is the biggest news story of the day IMO.

What unofficial / fun names are there for monuments where you live? (lemmy.world)

In Dublin there was a monument locally called "The Floozie in the Jacuzzi" ("floozie" is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point.

Looking for a book to fall asleep to (selection inside) (lemmy.world)

I'm a terrible sleeper. Like disaster zone level. I'm nearing the end of "Project Hail Mary" which is perfect for me; Very easy to get into, engaging story, not engaging to the point you wont fall asleep (mostly and I'm OK with the "mostly" bits).

Ones I've read and felt were similarly good for sleep:

A Gentleman in Moscow
Three Body Problem #1
All of Ted Chiang's stuff
Murderbot (got bored with this a few books in)
Recursion
Artemis

I'm trying to choose from one of these and could use a recommendation, specifically with sleep in mind:

Red Rising (Pierce Brown)
Old Man's War (John Scalzi)
My Friends (Frederik Backman)
Wild Dark Shore (Charlotte McConaghy)
The Will of the Many (James Islington)

Any other recommendations gladly accepted.

Two for me:

The moment you feel tipsy it's time to ease down. You have a stomach full of booze that's going to make you more drunk even if you stop immediately.
If you think people are good, you're probably right and if you think people are bad, you're probably right.

People are good IMO.

We've stopped calling it the famine here and now it's "the great hunger".

Ireland was producing more than enough to feed itself but the British landlords were forcing the export of non-potatoes and leaving us to die.

The queen at the time politically shamed the Turks into reducing their aid to us because it was higher than hers.

What's up, Turkey? We haven't forgotten your generosity.

Massive, massive shout out to our Choctaw brothers and sisters in America who gave what they didn't have after the trail of tears.

For those not familiar, we have never, ever forgotten that one.

If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.
