About the lack of activity, I think it's also that anarchychess on reddit reopened few days ago, so maybe people went back there

DVD logo on d5. Let it slide on the down-left direction every day and make it bounce off the walls and everything.

@itszednotzee goes outside the board to touch some grass (there is a grass field on 4th and 5th ranks just to the left of the board, notation Zω5)

I'm a fan of "here's a bunch of random (science) facts" type of podcasts.

  • Let's Learn Everything,
  • A Podcast of Unnecessary Detail,
  • Ologies with Alie Ward,
  • Secretly Incredibly Fascinating,
  • Ridiculous History

Are the ones I listen to.

This is perfect. It's like black king is the guy from the photo, and he brought Queen Alexandra's (black queen's) butterfly with him.

No, but seriously, when I googled it I got a thread where it was explained, pasting the reply below:

The brick is from a meme a while back, someone on r/chess made something about their workout based on how well they did in a chess game, like 1 blunder = 5 push-ups or whatever, and someone here posted a version with one added: don't take en passant = drop a brick on my cock

Edit: found the original post

I got a brick set (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by soollik@lemmy.world to c/anarchychess@sopuli.xyz
 

This set is not the cheapest brick set you can get and is not FIDE approved, but I got it because I wanted vintage (resists moisture even after 80 years) and wanted a set that still feels valuable. A Sayer & Fisher (omg a chess reference) Company's initials engraved on the bricks was a plus.

Overall I like the set, most astonishing is that when I invite my friends to play chess and they decline en passant, thinking that I do not own a brick, I get to flex with my sick ass collection of antique and vintage 4.5 lbs bricks. Of course it's not the experience of a standard FIDE approved brick, but the sound of brick falling and the feel of 80+ years of history of American brick manufacturing on pipi is one of a kind.
