    This is definitely wholesome, but that is also a really cool rock. Everybody wins.

        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!

      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.

    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.
