A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Cougars are closer to 10x the weight of a house cat. Based on the square-cube law, that makes a cougar only about twice as big as a house cat in any given dimension. Going off the numbers on Wikipedia and the cat lying beside me, it checks out.

It's kind of terrifying the difference 2^3^ makes.
