I think about this whenever I pick up a spider or similar on my car. I’m transporting them the equivalent of entire planets beyond their perspective. What new world will I bring them to?
I was hiking recently and saw a massive caterpillar. I took a photo and asked our national biological office if they could ID it cos AI was doing a shit job (as usual).
They identified it and said that it almost definitely arrived as a seed or smaller caterpillar attached to a car and managed to find its way into the forest. They mentioned that they normally return with holidayers in the summer and don't make it through the cold winter's, but this may shift due to climate change. This thing was about 18 cm (7 American toes) long.
Crazy to see how much shit these critters can handle and still survive (for now...).
uh, american toes are a lot more variable than that
Is that 7 toes lengthwise or side-by-side? And which American toes? Lady liberty, or a normal human adult, or a child? Perhaps a newborn?
Man I hate our measuring system, it’s so complicated.
Are you a transplant here or something? Those answers are all clearly side-by-side Liberty toes. Real Americans are born with that knowledge.
See I mean that’s what I assume, too, but whomever starts their post with metric is clearly not used to the conversions into freedom units and so one must verify they did they math correctly. In case they are egregiously off the mark.
The small part of the feet also used to measure things. You standardised those, right?
Nope, nothing standard about toes, lots of genetic variation! ;)
Imagine being a fish who gets caught by a human, and gets yanked out of his dimension and into an entirely different dimension, almost an opposite world.
Then the alien yanks the hook out of his lip, and throws him into the air...and he lands back in his own dimension, gasping for air.
Or, perhaps the alien takes him away...
Did you know fish can see through glass the same way we can see in? As long as it’s not curved glass they can see pretty clearly.
