From original post: "Prepare to be amazed by one of nature’s most mind-bending illusions—Lake Sørvágsvatn, the iconic ‘Lake Above the Sea’ in the Faroe Islands! 🌊✨ At first glance, this massive lake seems to hover high above the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, creating an optical illusion that’s as awe-inspiring as it is surreal. Stretching over 6 kilometers, it’s the largest lake in the Faroe Islands, perched dramatically atop sheer cliffs that drop straight into the sea. From the perfect vantage point, the lake appears to defy gravity, floating above the ocean below. But don’t be fooled—this natural masterpiece is all about perspective. Whether you’re trekking along its peaceful shores or taking in the jaw-dropping views from a distance, Lake Sørvágsvatn is a must-see for adventurers, photographers, and anyone who loves the magic of the great outdoors. Would you dare to visit this spectacular illusion of nature?"

The weirdest thing is that there have been more Hurricanes in Ireland than in South America, despite South America being the correct latitude. Another weirdness is that there have never been hurricanes in the northern and southern hemispheres at the same time.

My great-grandmother was born in 1899. She was alive to hear about the Wright Flyer, two world wars, the Moon landing, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union before dying at age 101 having seen the turn of two centuries. Emigrated from Sweden to New Zealand with her family at a young age.(I forget exactly when)

This is on a temporary support and not fully suspended. An earthquake cracked its original suspension in 1839, and it was finally resuspended using scㅤrew jacks in 1896. It was originally suspended using water and earth, with the original canals being filled in in the process.

It also helped that Microsoft made a $150 million investment in Apple non-voting stock in August 1997, to rescue it from near-bankruptcy. Even Gates didn't want a monopoly. It gave Jobs some breathing room.

There is no sound that instruments CAN'T record, although it may be difficult to get a given microphone to pick up a given frequency. If the sound truly cannot be detected by instrumentation, then the sound is originating inside the people hearing it. ie. some form of tinnitus
