Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Are webcams still a thing? (sh.itjust.works)

The recent post in the Wikipedia community about the Trojan Room coffee pot got me thinking: are there any interesting webcams still running on the web? If so, do you have any favorites?

Aside from my local ski area I didn't think I could name a single webcam still running.

USGS maintains some cool ones, and has a youtube page for when something rare happens at Mauna Kea or wherever.

Scripps Institute has a bunch. The underwater camera at their pier in La Jolla, CA, is pretty active.

Oh man, the Scripps cams are making me want a beach vacation. It's been too long since I've been to the ocean.

The real trick is to move to a high cost of living area where you’re super near but can hardly afford to make it there as often as you’d like.
