        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.

    Taking stones from children and displaying them!? The UK’s colonial ambitions knows no bounds!

    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.

    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.
