I understand the circles because you have a nucleus to start freezing outward from. Similarly to how hail works. But I don't understand the straight lines. Very interesting

Looks like something Keith Haring would have painted.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Keith Haring should sue earth for copyright infringement then. I am a lawyer, anyone have his number?

[–] zout@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago

Some (religious) people would say that Keith Haring has a short line with the creator of earth these days.
