I was asking because of „data protection“ because I don‘t know if I can post every gif/picture here in the forum or in the comments... Does someone know if it‘s allowed..? I‘m not a genius in this criteria :))I think you're referring to copyright protection. Creators who make & post their gifs on Giphy do so to allow people to share their work. The gifs are only supposed to have copyrighted materials if it is OK with the person who owns the copyright. When I searched their FAQs, they also have a system to report copyright infringement.

Some search engines allow you to search for things that are shareable. For example, Bing & Ecosia allow you to filter for "free to share and use" or "public domain" or "Creative Commons" licenses. Even though technically the photographer/artist/creator legally would own copyright for making the image or gif, these licenses mean they are ok with them being shared without paying them.
Would it be helpful if I post screenshots of where to find these options within a search engine?
Peace and love to you all.
I do not have a Paypal Account, please DO NOT send me money.

That's really interesting, I didn't know you could search images like that. Thanks for sharing that.I totally agree! Thank you very much, CinnamonSugar :)
Do you have some insider tipps for mushroom picking..? I really really want to go... for the first time ^^All I can say is DO NOT GO WITHOUT SOMEONE EXPERIENCED. There are many types of mushrooms that only differ in small details, but one of them is edible, the other poisonous. However, if you go with an expert or at least someone experienced whose knowledge you trust with your life (literally!) they can teach you and look out for you until they will be sure you will be fine on your own next time. They will also know the area, the good spots and where to "hunt". I was lucky as my colleague lives near a national park and goes mushroom picking almost every weekend, so he was a very good teacher. But even he did not know everything, only regarding specific types he likes to pick, so I guess I can only repeat the most useful lesson from him: If in doubt (that it is a type that is edible, for sure), leave it!
