This predates Paisley. Lemmy might be catching up to reddit faster than we thought

Referring to finding deeper information, from an actual human response. I've always known that pattern as a Paisley, but here's a word I've never heard of hinting different geographic origins.

And the reddit connection? Pretty sure reddit is a bunch of bots or so it seems

Paisley. It was really popular pattern in the late 1960s / early 1970s in curtains and furniture.

Are all paisleys fractals?
Zier@fedia.io · 1 pts · 1y
They should be. I'm unaware of any that are not. You can find videos on YouTube that show how paisley fractals replicate, it's quite cool.

It's called paisley. Originated in Persia, but named after a town in Scotland.

I call it "paramecia". But that's just my personal way of calling it, without knowing the real original name !
Good to know though :)

Most people I know name it after some kind of microorganism 😆
JackbyDev@programming.dev · 2 pts · 1y
Like a paramecium?
