This is definitely wholesome, but that is also a really cool rock. Everybody wins.
I live down the road from Poole.
This is probably the most exciting thing in the whole county tbh
You’ve got a man with his nob out etched into a hill. What more do you want?
So weird to think anyone else from Dorset would’ve even heard of Lemmy
I think anywhere with an IT presence is gonna have Linux people, and by extension potentially Lemmy users.
We do fit a stereotype 😆
As someone who worked for a (university) museum, I just know it made that worker’s day to put that display together.
props to the museum, but also that’s a pretty cool rock. good job bethan
Taking stones from children and displaying them!? The UK’s colonial ambitions knows no bounds!
That’s really sweet. It matters to show that we all have a heart.
Any amateur geologists out there have any idea what kind of rock that is?
I’m not a geologist amateur or otherwise but it looks a lot like a flint stone which has those kinda chalky spots. I’ve got a very similar looking one from Rügen, an island in the North of Germany.
Ngl, Bethan has good taste in rocks. This was the right call by both parties.
Thanks for the repost!
Happy to! It was such a heartwarming story I had to share it 🥰 .
What a pretty rock! I wonder why it’s coloured that way?
Enjoys
i really like that font
geometric, similar to futura
Okay but is it worth more than a cool leaf?
They were probably just thankful of having something to put in it.
Imo if a kid would be terminally sick or something then that would be wholesome but otherwise it is just funny
I think we just have too much media emphasis on such cases - they are absolutely important, but they make us forget that the very regular children doing something like this and adults empowering them is just as wholesome, precious, and important.
imagine, a kid sent a rock to a museum, and the museum rejected it. this outcome is more wholesome.
