I see it's been busy. I got it then, oh ok.
I haven't heard of 17 goals either. Or freedom for lesbian whales being a thing.

Hmm they do look a bit like 17 fantasies with hefty mutual destruction forces between them.
Wanting to be big, accumulate and consume are defining characteristics of an inevitably significant chunk of the developed human race, I think. Seems fanciful to imagine otherwise - and the race will implode long before the sun expands to finish us off or there's another Chicxulub event. Could be plague, war, accident. Does it qualitatively matter? No.
Earth will get along perfectly well without us until its atoms are rearranged in the inevitable red giant.

On weightier matters, I shall if asked whether something goes into a cigarette packet, shoe box, wheely bin or something else, not equivocate over which particular wheely bin to compare it with if it fits in none of them. That would be a misdirecting answer, which is one degree of freedom too many, in the game.

I'll find something tomorrow. In the meantime I need to design a variation on one of these (external link) for a 16th birthday.

We’re not supposed to talk politics and economics is pretty close. I’ll just say that I believe in ethical progress.


Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

Good luck with that .... I hope that the 16th birthday version isn‘t PG rated ;-)a

This looks like a sideways way of saying there was something slippery about my answer. I said that the size of the object was closest to the bin among the three choices you gave, not that the object would go into the bin. Your question used ellipses. I didn't fill them in with the information I now think you had in mind. I didn't intentionally mislead anyone.

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.


If you identify this, you post the next macro and be reasonably available to answer yes-or-no questions.

An ottoman for the Queen of the Fairies? No, scratch that. An itty-bitty jar with something in it.

I can't undo seeing it as a squat, transparent cylinder.

Is there a surface between the dark gray thing and the camera lens, or just space?

I can see your jar ...... really quite compelling if your mind infers depth which isn't there.

The dark gray is lack of white.

Just space.

Everything in the picture is part of the object. That should kill the "jar" impression. ?

The whitish streak enhances the jar illusion. I thought it was a reflection in glass.

So the dark gray isn't a thing despite its appearance of having some thickness and a shadow? Then it would be background. But if everything is part of the object, no background is showing. -?

Does the blue- or grey-capped thing function as a button?
