#sundials — Public Fediverse posts

🏛️ #Euronews claims #Romans had their own Google Maps, but it turns out they were just using #sundials and asking the nearest toga-wearing dude for directions to the beach 🏖️. Who knew all roads lead to "404: Ancient Path Not Found"? 😂

Hey folks, I want an outdoor sundial to decorate my garden, can anyone recommend a good source? I want something that is built to last and looks it, no 3D-printed plastic please. Local #Philly maker would be nice if they exist.

I already ordered this interesting prism sundial for indoors, but production has apparently been delayed by unusually cold temps and excessive snow, interfering with the maker's workshop. I'm hopeful that it will eventually arrive: https://www.artisanindustrials.com/spectramain.html
