    Seems like Brazilian currency. We have animals in the notes too and the sea turtle is one of them

      Canada should’ve done that

      And this is making me think the US could do national parks on our money. We could have colorful geyser money, but nooooo we needed a slaver on that bill…

      I think at this point in world history we should just stop idolizing people, whoever they are. I love the idea of having animals or cultural symbols in the notes (like canada’s leaf, france’s eiffel, US’s burguers etc)

          Not having been on Reddit for years, I missed it entirely. And it’s a good one, it brought some beauty into my scroll. OP has kindly allowed those of us not on the digital equivalent of a Superfund site to be able to enjoy it too.

          Maybe what really should have been left on Reddit was the desire to personally police what others choose to post instead of simply appreciating it, or not, and then moving on.

          A denial of what? The fact that damn near every single meme you see on Lemmy has been on Reddit at some point? Are we really having this discussion?

          Seriously, go post your own content instead of complaining about other people’s. We could always use more content on Lemmy!

                Exactly, it’s always going to be someone’s first time seeing something even if it’s been around forever. People that are annoyed should just move on. Animal money is awesome and I enjoy seeing it come up now and then. And I also enjoy the people that get happy for seeing it.

          That character is from the initially-unaired pilot (“The Cage”), but that shot (and actor) is from “The Menagerie” - a 2-part episode from the first season that re-used scenes from The Cage as flashbacks.

          They had Pike injured and in the wheelchair so they could use makeup and the “beep” communications to disguise the fact that the actor playing him was different in the newly-filmed scenes versus those from the flashbacks.

      i think they did tone it back. the first impression on the previous ones was “oh my god that’s so many colors”. the second batch seem to make them toned down to a primary and a secondary color for each. i like them more. typography is ass in both though.

      That’s a pretty lame contest. Contestants were told to make notes from an exact list of famous Europeans or birds with some lame architecture on the other side. Can you imagine the excruciating process of finding and sorting either list - “Marie Curie can’t be there because she left a negative comment around the cleanliness of her room at a Belgian conference!”, “Our prime minister died from an allergic reaction to curlews!”
