It’s taken from a small castle/museum in the Italian Alps called Brunnenburg. At the top of the cliff, you can barely see a larger castle called Schloss Tirol, they’ll both show up on Google maps if you search for it. It’s one of, if not the most beautiful places I’ve been and I keep going back

Yeah, it definitely seemed like a folk tale the way it was told. But it’s interesting that it exists at all.

Here’s a photo of the cliffs across the small valley if you’re curious!

My vote is for this guy. I visited a place in the Alps where these guys lived in the cliffs and some local family friends said to never leave your baby under 2 months unattended because the “Uhus” can still carry them at that age.

Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie

The car is efficient enough for it to do something (20-30 miles a day in summer if I remember), but yes it’s mostly marketing and they say as much. “Solar electric car” sounds a lot better than “this car is pretty normal but it’s super efficient”

I think the general absurdity of it, plus you’re never quite sure where they’re gonna go.

Not a metal tree, but they do impale things on thorns and trees.
