Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
the kicker is he was being asked if his work was coming from the approach of man vs. nature aka “THE ENVIRONMENT STRIKES BACK” but no. his literal words were along the lines of “sharks are not very scary if you are never in the water so i had to make them scarier, and now they have legs.”
Junji Ito has the best fucking take on horror, which is ‘wouldn’t that be weird’ and then he draws it into the most terrifying thing possible.
One of his strangest stories is about a cursed type of honey that, when ingested, is guaranteed to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. But, if you consume it, you have a 25% of being flattened like a pancake by a giant tree demon. Characters eat it, get addicted, and that addiction forces them to risk it over and over again until they eventually get turned into a gory puddle by this ghost tree thing.
It’s a weird story, but the funny part is that Ito wrote it because he thought it would suck to be a mosquito.
Checking how far away this bar is from my house, and I notice that Google maps has a time for public transit. And I’m like “…..I like in the Texan suburban hellscape. WHAT public transit?”
My absolute favorite thing about the Pikmin series after growing up only knowing it from smash bros is learning how much of a family man/wife guy Olimar is. I didn’t even know he TALKED until like last year but now I would die for this tiny little family.
*blows a kiss down at the dirt* for Captain Olimar
(as a side note, I’ve experienced Pikmins 2,3, and 4 by watching the Frankenbugs Streams, which are very fun go check them out! Pikmin 4 playlist is here)
You are granted a time machine and the ability to prevent one birth (or commit a murder up to you), don’t worry about the butterfly effect, we want the butterfly effect that’s part of the point. Your actions will prevent them from ever rising to prominence. No he’s not here, because it’d be too much of a sweep, pick your second choice if you’re wondering where he is
i mean they did kill archduke franz ferdinand before he got to power. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill archduke franz ferdinand before he got to power
This is what I tried to explain to US platforms like Patreon when they suspended my account for having a nude statue as the background image: I live in Europe, I can go and see a nude statue within a 5 minutes walk. Children can see them, they’re not in some 18+ container. I will never understand those policies.
americans have a statue of some dude and it’s like in memory of lord mcdonalds who killed 2000 slaves
a PROPER statue is naked and hopefully peeing
In my uni town there was a statue of some guy who the people Did Not Like and they had to remove it because people were pissing on it to the point where the pedestal it was sat on corroded to the point where it became a public health hazard and tbh i think that’s camp. Meanwhile in the US there’s loitering laws
It’s not that you should feel obligated to portray every part of an animal correctly, but in some cases these are very unique, interesting features that very few artists are ever utilizing creatively!
You inspired me….
Pure and perfect!!! Here I was revisiting the post only to consider adding even more facts about each. I will anyway!
*Some toads do have a *forked* tongue that works like a set of tongs.
*The sperm whale’s thin shape is how it can dive so deep so fast, cutting through the water.
*The whale’s weird jaw is for hooking squid tentacled. Its small throat is only for slurping those up.
*The blue ringed octopus can kill you, but the bite of other octopuses is merely a painful burn, which may be why it’s not common knowledge.
*Rabbits are freaks
*There are also jawless leeches that swallow whole prey such as earthworms, and leeches with a drilling proboscis that often specialize in hosts like turtles and crocodilians.
*Few arthropods have limbs ending in only a “point” other than certain crustaceans! In many spiders, the foot is simply very tiny.
*Some ticks are eyeless, relying entirely on the chemosensitive “hallers organs” in their legs. Ticks are the only animal group to jave these.
*Different leech species have different numbers and sometimes different arrangements if eyes, much like spiders, and there are some with eyes on their tail ends as well.
*Sea star abd leech eyes are both quite simple, mostly only detecting light.
*Only the box jellyfish have eyes, but they are actually complex ones with lenses that can make out shapes! Box jellies navigate catefully instead of drifting with the current. They are also the deadliest jellies :)
Bringin all this back (including the cute leech drawings) also I should have added that goats don’t have any upper front teeth either
One last thing about the mantises, though–they can actually fold their front feet when not in use, so then their front legs actually *do* end in the sickle claws!
Yeah like a reverse switchblade, the harmless part folds in!
