I'm absolutely gaping with excitement for these games!
It's still a really cool piece of art! Their other works are really fascinating and well-executed too - I especially like the kiwi with the hairy butthole and the.. uh.. scrotumfruit?
Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it's ~~acrylic~~ urethane with real Daikon leaves:
There's a few spiders that do this (I know some orb-weavers do) and IIRC scientists don't know for sure why, though it's been hypothesized that it could be either to confuse potential predators or to make themselves and their webs obvious to larger animals.
Some orb weavers like Argiopes even make a thick zigzag construction in their web called a stabilimentum that we don't really understand the function of, but one theory is to make the web more visually obvious so larger animals don't accidentally barrel into them.
Spiders are neat.
At least it was a lemon and not a glass pickle jar

Years ago my GF declared that if she were ever going to be in a porn, her nom de poon would be Teen LaQueefa. I settled on Kenny Lingus.
A cellphone shot of the gorgeous aurora tonight. It wasn't quite this dramatic to the naked eye, but this is actually pretty representative of what we could see. I have a bunch of other pics too but I'm sure there will be pics everywhere tomorrow from better photographers.
At first I thought this was an OG Dwarf Fortress screenshot
She was started late, grown outdoors & I grudgingly had to chop her early. She’s the only plant I’ve grown that had jet black leaves, and the contrast with the bright green buds was just neat.
I can't sleep and have heard AVB can used in edibles, so let's fucking go.
Its the middle of the night so I'm looking for quick & low effort. I've got peanut butter here and I've never had firecrackers, so that sounds promising. I have some Nutty Bars here too, so let's use those.
I have no clue on potency so I'm just using what looks like a good amount - 0.4g of AVB to 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter
Oh Glob what have I done
Ok it doesn't look so bad once it's mixed up, but this is prob twice the volume I will need
After cracking open the Nutty Bars and spreading a thick-ish layer of greenut butter, I still have some left over. Whatever maybe I'll eat it later.
The chocolate is melty and the greenut butter is a little runnier than I'd like, so after reassembling the Nutty Bars, it's into the mini-fridge for a chill.
They should be just about ready to eat now - wish me luck! 👨🚀
Not an expert but I think you're right. The Wikipedia page OP linked describes the phenomenon this way:
They include a pretty good example with a container ship:
