Hee-hee, that's pretty cute. Where is Tor Vergata and what do ESA do at that location?

Tor vergata is one of the universities in Rome

Fuck I'm still not included :'( where can non-binary pee in space :'(

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's also excluding nonhumans, which is very strange for a space agency

They’re symbols for human bathrooms. We have no idea what kind of facilities an alien would need, so I think until that’s understood it would be premature to have an icon for it.

Well why exclude them needlessly? Maybe they'd benefit from a nice private room to photosynthesize in with their portable growlights

[–] FanBlade@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 week ago

Because it would imply that the facility can accommodate them, but we don’t know that it could.
