Lime(stone) Trans Megathread from April 14th, 2025 to April 20th, 2025

Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells πŸ₯š, seashells 🐚, and pearls πŸ¦ͺ are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (Veryovkina Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • often wonder how many days back is appropriate to reply to a comment or a post on hexbear? what do you feel is the unofficial answer?

    • Someone once replied to a post I made over like 5 months ago.

      It was nice. Didn't think it was weird or anything.

      • ok good. personally i don't mind if people reply to anything i made even years ago (as long as I can remember what the hell it was about)

        I'm always worried about replying past a day or two like it feels "stale" or inapprorpriate somehow. then I get conflicted because this site moves slower then reddit.

        personally i see it operating over about a week's horizon before things get "stale"

    • I think its appropriate at any age if you have something to say. Personally I don't really reply to stuff older then a day (outside of megs maybe) but I also don't usually see older or have anything super important to say. And I wouldn't find it weird if someone else responded to something of mine that was old.

    • I always go with less than 2 days. But I wouldn’t see it as inappropriate if someone was to reply to one of my older comments.
