I live on a fault line along the pacific ring of fire, and so building with wood was an absolute necessity for us so long, as they were structurally more lenient to the constant earthquakes. Even now I believe our old government building is the largest wooden building in the Southern hemisphere (and it’s only 4 stories tall). These days as construction techniques have changed, we’ve obviously built things with concrete, steel, brick, etc., but the wooden tradition remains strong, with a huge majority of modern houses here still being built like this.

That aside, wood was also just a much cheaper material to build with, so it was the most economical material to use for a long time for much of the “new world”.

That picture gives me major Scarif vibes

Didn’t expect to see something like this pop up! I’m really curious to see if he’s recognisable to people in other countries!

Ah, apologies! I’m still not yet in the habit of checking post dates on Lemmy! But wow, it feels like it’s been more than 10 days since all that happened!

Of the ones that have been announced so far, which app in development are you most excited for?

Not to sound rude, but did you do any research before naming all of these? Boost developer is developing a Lemmy app, you can find it on the Play store already. Sync developer is also developing a Lemmy app.

As a programmer and a linguist, this is the kind of content that really gets the happy chemicals flowing through my monkey brain
