How, oh how is the Danube red and not blue?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the ~~Nile~~ Danube, and it shall turn into blood. The fish in the ~~Nile~~ Danube shall die, and the ~~Nile~~ Danube will stink, and the ~~Egyptians~~ Germans, Austrians, Slovakians, Hungarians, Croatians, Serbians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Moldovans, and Ukrainians will grow weary of drinking water from the ~~Nile~~ Danube.”

If Johann Strauss Jr. says the Danube is blue, than by gum it shall be blue.

To say otherwise is de-Nile.

Whatever I was expecting was not that.

That was something else entirely.

At first, I was going to object that another river was green, but that would’ve put me in bad Oder with you perhaps.

It's so veiny.

Not going to lie I want to relief map printed of this, and mounted on my wall

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now, that you say that... What about a 3D printed relief?
I've seen this done with the top down view of a city, but should be possible with this data, too

That would also be amazing. And a good excuse to get into 3D printing and bite the bullet and buy the expensive printers and learn about filament and etc etc etc

Not to mention the endless hours of fiddling.

How does one cross post stuff?

Depends on what platform you are using. If you're using the standard browser interface, you press the symbol with the two overlapping squares right next to the star button. You could also just copy the image link and paste it in a new post.
