Lime(stone) Trans Megathread from April 14th, 2025 to April 20th, 2025

Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells 🥚, seashells 🐚, and pearls 🦪 are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

- That's a surprisingly hotly debated thing with vidya nerds online from what I've seen over the years
  I think the official line now is Zelda just used magic to change her face and eyes and hair and the rest is binding+Sheikah ninja training stuff and fitness training in the seven years Link's in the sacred realm
  
  I thought for sure the trade off between the two forms was magic vs physical stuff. I know at one point zelda gets captured in a cone and can't like jump out, prob not a cone but idk shiek can jump pretty high. Granted story needs to happen etc but I like the full magic angle too
