I couldn’t find an exact model number or name for this tram, but it’s one of the first electric trams manufactured by Siemens and introduced in Frankfurt (Germany) in 1884 (PDF file hosted on the Internet Archive). It was a commuter tram connecting Frankfurt and Offenbach (that’s why it says “Frankfurt-Offenbach-Trambahn” on the side), and apparently, it was the world’s fourth electric tram line (This Wikipedia article is only available in German, unfortunately, but you can use a website translation tool or dump chunks of text into DeepL). Most of these trams no longer exist, as only a couple of them made it into a museum.

The exact number of passengers they could carry varies from source to source, but it’s usually twenty-some passengers. According to the Siemens PDF linked above, their first electric tram from 1881 was five metres long and two metres wide, carrying up to 20 passengers at a time. The 1884 model in this post looks similar, maybe a bit longer than the 1881 model, so I’d say that 25-ish passengers sounds accurate enough. This includes both seated and standing passengers.

Fun fact: The smaller 1881 model is only slightly larger than many modern cars but can transport more than three times the amount of people.

It's amazing how plants can recover from what looks like a major injury. Last year, I had a sunflower seedling in a small cup, and something bit off its head. Might've been a bug, or a bird, we'll never know, but all that was left was a thin stem, just like in your photo. I kept watering it, and after a while, it started growing new leaves, then a second head, and although it was much smaller than the other sunflowers, it still bloomed.

Wiktionary says

In the original result of the Wug Test, children consistently produced wugs for the plural. However, plurals other than the standard wugs are sometimes used humorously, including wuggen (by analogy with oxen), weeg, and wuggi (by analogy with Latinate plurals).

Wuggi sounds nice. Huggy wuggi :3

alt text: a screenshot of the Wikipedia article about leap years. It says "A leap year, also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year, (...)". The word "bissextile" is circled in red and has arrows pointing at it. An image of a bisexual pride flag, Moxxie (a bisexual character in the show Helluva Boss), and Freddie Mercury are placed around the word "bissextile" because it looks a lot like bisexual. end alt text uwu

edit: apologies for the missing image. I uploaded it to my home instance (pawb.social), which had some technical issues and went down a couple of hours later. But it's back now, and so is the image. (Nothing but love for the pawb admins, shit happens <3)

reject humanity, embrace the machine

alt text: the first two panels are a close-up of my generic-canine fursona's angry face, first with their eyes closed, then with their eyes open and a fire in them. They say, "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine." The third panel is my fursona wearing a protogen visor, doing a cute face, saying "beep boop", and sitting on the ground like a silly little guy.

Chemestry is… well, technically, chemestry is the study of metter. But I prefer to see it as the study of chenge. Now just… just think about this. Electrens. They chenge their energy levels. Melecules. Melecules chenge their bonds. Elements. They combine and chenge into compounds. That’s… that’s all of life. Right? It’s just, it’s the constent. It’s the cycle. It’s selution, disselution, just over and over and over. It is grewth, then decey, then trensformation. It is fescinating, really.
