Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It’s mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells 🥚, seashells 🐚, and pearls 🦪 are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world’s longest (Mammoth) and deepest (Veryovkina Krubera is once again the world’s deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations
Mammoth Cave in the United States
Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I have not
I tried it once, and I got the notifications to send, but I think the issue was that they would only send when I had FluffyChat open. I’m honestly willing to give it another shot at some point to try and figure it out, because it would help and I really don’t want to have to install sandboxed google play. I have been wanting notifications more and more, especially for my DMs, so I’m hoping I can get nfty to work or I might just cave and install google play services (at least it’s sandboxed and has limited permissions).
I’ll let you know the results :)
