That's wonderful! Whereabouts are you traveling, if you don't mind me asking? I was mostly in the north around Trujillo, but I spent a couple weeks in Lima once, and a month in and around Cusco when I made the trek to Aguas Calientes, then Machu Picchu.
I've been itching to get back to Perú ever since!
I lived in Perú for a while on a study abroad/student exchange program and can confirm -- you can't swing a cat in Perú without hitting some archeological wonder, and it's not just Lima. I spent some time in the northern deserts, up near Chiclayo and Lambayeque, and visited so many fantastic Moche sites that they almost started to get boring by the end.
What stuck with me the most, however, as walking through the sand dunes and literally tripping over ancient pottery that was just sitting in the sand, partially exposed. Ceramics were everywhere, and it was otherwise untouched but also unprotected. Absolutely blew my mind as an American to whom anything older than 200 years feels ancient and rare.
Wonderful country, Perú. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who has the opportunity to go. There's so much more than Machu Picchu (although that site is a stunning must-see, ofc).

I'm pretty sure I know the entire first Charlie the Unicorn video word-for-word in both English and German.
I blame Neopets for making me confused about the spelling of colour and color as a US American child. 😅
I spent an absolutely absurd amount of time making clothes and accessories in MS Paint for Dollz in the 00s. Now they're like a time capsule of idealized fashion from the first part of the new millennium.
Honest question from someone ignorant on this topic -- what do you recommend for a search engine other than Google?
After we named him Schrödinger we quickly realized that orange cats have one braincell and there's no way this cat has object permanence, let alone understands quantum superposition.
Orange Boy's favorite activities include sleeping, napping, light napping, yelling for cat food, yelling for cat snacks, getting REAL high off the fresh catnip I grow outside, getting the munchies, then yelling for cat snacks, jealously guarding his sleeping basket from his younger brother, and napping with one leg hanging off the edge of the bed because he likes live dangerously.
Need I mention he's missing some teeth so sometimes he has a Clint Eastwood style snarl?
Sometimes I wish my Orange would do this. He doesn't accept a lack of attention; just fundamentally refuses it. No, no. He creates the attention he desires by yelling at me and waving his silly little ginger paw in my face (I once taught him how to high five and now that's his protocol for getting what he wants). And I'm a fucking simp for this ridiculous orange so it works and I carry him around like a baby, just like he wants.
Their tadpoles are low key kinda adorable, ngl.
My husband is diagnosed autistic and he told me "babe, I think you might be on the spectrum." Then just a week later, totally unprompted, my therapist ALSO told me she thinks I'm probably on the spectrum. That's when I took the hint. 😅
What do you think so far? I've been loving Strange New Worlds!
I'm imagining Fry refusing a vaccine for egg salad sandwich parasite infections et violà, Parasites Regained.
Oh, that's a good point. I love all the Mars-related episodes, especially with Amy's family and the native Martians. Hopefully How the West Was Won gives us some good new Martian content!
Came back to this thread to say I LOVE Strange New Worlds so far! I liked Picard well enough, but just couldn't get into Discovery after a couple tries, though I can't articulate why (???). SNW seems to hit just right.
Listen, you! I was born here. I raised a cloud of children here. My ancestors came over here on the sandwich!
I know it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite Futurama episode, but if you held a ray gun to my head and I HAD to choose it would be Parasites Lost. When I saw "Parasites Regained" in the episode title list for season 11 the hype for new Futurama finally hit me!
So which episode are you most anticipating? Wild speculation about the episodes welcome.
Edited: to add a shameless plug for the Community I just created for another great Groening show, Disenchantment. If you're a fan of Bean and the gang come on over to /c/Disenchantment!
Today was my first day on the Fediverse via Lemmy.world, and I was so happy to see a Futurama Community among the top posts right when I logged in!
I hope it's also okay to say that I just created /c/Disenchantment for my fellow fans of a slightly related show. 😄
Any Futurama fans that also like Disenchantment and our one true Queen Bean please come join!
Not OP but you just convinced me to give Strange New Worlds a try, so thanks!
Same. I was 9 years 10 months deep into Reddit, just shy of putting in a dime, all through RiF, and I'll miss some of the super niche communities I found there.
