I was thinking that I associate green on flags with the middle east, and then I read:

the green and white stripes represent the tolerance that allows Christianity and Islam to coexist

I can't believe that there's never been anyone that didn't make that mistake. Probably not enough to justify keeping a counter dedicated to it though...

There are plenty of projects that take donations/payments that don't make profit but stay afloat, normally through the team behind it paying the bills. I guess it depends what the running costs actually are, and if it's for people or e.g. servers.

I had to do more research, but it's Gagra (according to https://prohorov.livejournal.com/434028.html via Google Translate). I don't think all of the extra photos are of the train station there, but I think they're all in Gagra [edit: I edited the post with more info].

It's a Mastodon reference, right‽ Otherwise if it's just a fart reference then it doesn't really make sense since tweet and toot don't sound anything alike.

I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.

My fix was

  1. disable "Block Ads" in Enhancer for Youtube
  2. add this to uBlock under "My Filters":

This is a great photo, is this someone's personal collection?

You confused me at first, but I guess you're thinking of the Tardis - that's a police box, not a phone box! British phone boxes are always red, I think.

I'd love to see an animated version of this where the world turns slowly in the background while everyone eats.

Yup and, as the article states, electric cars are even worse.

Aw, the main image didn't upload. Your reply made me notice, thanks 😁
