The fish doorbellvisdeurbel.nl Soms moeten vissen lang wachten bij de Weerdsluis, omdat de sluisdeuren in het voorjaar niet vaak open gaan. Daar hebben we iets op bedacht.

Oh no I filled the fish doorbell with people and now it's full up. Bookmark it for late folks!

Had a look at the “nicest photos” selection on the fish doorbell site. Turns out we’re not the only ones waiting keenly to “help” the fish…

Hehehe

Oh that’s awesome picture

The funny thing about the Utrecht Fish Doorbell is that it's only a few years old, but it feels like a little remnant of the Paleolithic Internet.

that's bc it's innocent, kind of silly conceptually, and not infected by corporate greed and ads

These days someone could code an AI Fish Recognizer in no time at all. And another little bit of joy would be chipped away from the world.

I get the impression that's the entire point of AI - killing our little bits of joy. Oh, and making the usual suspects even richer.

Very fitting as today is the Feast Day of St Ludger of Utrecht. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludger

Ludger - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

So basically it’s a community version of that guy who puts fish in a tube to shoot them up a dam.

has anyone actually ever seen one though? it feels so rare to catch one in frame

I have :) I keep it in my second screen while I work a lot though

LET 👏 THEM 👏 FIN

the Netherlands are not a real country

@illybocean.boontavista.com this may be relevant to your interests

We must help the noble Dutch fishies

Love this! 😍🐟🐡🐠

I love the fish doorbell!

Aw, I love this

I see people watchin' screens, you might not expect; They're opening doors, for fish in Utrecht; And I think to myself, what a wonderful world...

📌

I have yet to spot a fish when I've been looking, but I love the existence of this regardless.

This is so sweet!!

I'm amused that they put up an English-language version of the page sometime between the first time you linked to it and now :)

Oh no it was always in English it's just the preview that isn't:)

this is WILD 🐟

The first sentence made me think it was time for a very strange game of dingdongditch
