This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The warming blob in my lava lamp looks like a parrot on a branch (lemmy.nz)

I recently got a lava lamp. They take an hour or two to warm up before they become the trippy, moving “lava” they’re known for. Sometimes while warming, the blob inside becomes contorted into bizarre shapes. Usually they remind me of specimen jars in some mad scientist’s lab.

This time, it apparently transformed into a bird.

Cool looking lamp. Rumor was the originals were pretty flammable. Has this been worked out? Are these pretty safe now?

I suppose it could be a rorschach test

I'm glad the comments agree with me, but disappointed I wasn't the first to point it out
