I am really happy with how Lemmy works, as a more focused place for discussion in general.
I wonder why I have to use Mastodon too, though, for just the odd feature not in Lemmy. It looks like Lemmy is only a small step away from being a better Mastodon too - support posting outside of communities, and subscribing to accounts.
BTW, in a network with #NomadicIdentity, using both #Mastodon and #Lemmy (and #Peertube, etc.) wouldn't be an issue.

I do not need a wind-up beetle that crawls around. But I will show it to you because it's cute and cool and maybe you do know someone who needs one and now you know they exist.
If these were life-size (much smaller) and had wind up action... well then. Well then I wouldn't have been able to resist.

Ein muskulöser Mann steht auf einer Bühne und singt in ein Mikrofon. Er ist ohne Oberkörper und trägt schwarze Handschuhe und eine schwarze Hose mit Stöcken. Sein Oberkörper ist mit Staub oder Schmutz bedeckt, was auf eine intensive Darbietung hindeutet. Der Hintergrund ist ein diffuses, blaues Licht, das die Aufmerksamkeit auf den Sänger lenkt.

May 16, 2009. NASA astronauts Andrew Feustel and John Grunsfeld perform EVA3 from Space Shuttle Atlantis to make repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope.
1. Remove the obsolete Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) and install the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS).
2. Repair the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). Replace 4 circuit boards and install a new power supply.
This was the 5th and final Hubble repair mission.

May 16, 2009. The Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) was not designed to be serviced or repaired in space, so the task was considered one of the most challenging of the mission. There was uncertainty and trepidation among managers on the ground who were prepared to see unexpected issues arise during the complicated repair work.
But astronauts Grunsfeld and Feustel make it look easy, completing the repair tasks in EVA3 in 6:36 hours.

I have NO IDEA if this is a good product or not. It's cheap.
If someone made one that was tiny enough to be a little brooch I might go for it. Love the idea of a pin you could wind up and have walk off during boring meetings.

How big are they? The site doesn’t seem to say. I am looking for some to use as giant beetle creatures alongside 28mm-scale figurines, and the ones I have found so far are either lackluster or prohibitively expensive.
