When a typo in your Google search leads to new and exciting philosophical positions

AI Overview: "Dental realism"refers to the philosophical debate about whether teeth exist independently of human perception, a concept rooted in metaphysical realism. While realism asserts an objective reality for teeth, idealist philosophies contend that teeth's existence is tied to our consciousness and perception. Philosophers use this idea, for example, to discuss the ethics of tooth extraction, examining whether a procedure impacts a real entity or merely a subjective experience.

Apparently it’s World Embroidery Day so maybe you’ll enjoy this aerial landscape I made of my beloved childhood haunt - the White Horse of Uffington. An @nationaltrust.org.uk site from the later Bronze Age or Early Iron Age. Find out more here www.oxfordarchaeology.com/uffington-wh...

A circular embroidery in a wooden hoop of the White Horse using various stitches including hundreds of French knots for the main grass, long and short for the folds of the hill below the horse, and turkey tail for a field and scattered trees.

Parkrun isn’t competitive! Parkrun involves no changing rooms! Anyone can do parkrun! What the actual fuck are these people on about

They're going after Parkrun again, you know, that event where lots of people of all ages, abilities and genders run around a local park and it not, in any form, a race?

I was overtaken once by a chap with a prosthetic leg. Not even a running blade, a regular prosthesis. I didn't care - it's definitely about the community not "winning"
