Ghostalmedia, in Oh Tardigrades, Cutie Tardibabes

They’re cool, but cute is a stretch for me. They’ve got sloth fingers and a butthole mouth.

TheDoctorDonna, in Hieroglyphic Nest in the Temple of Edfu, Egypt

Is it next to a bird? That looks like a bird.

MrsDoyle,

Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It’s like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_(hieroglyph)

squaresinger,

Maybe bees looked different, 5000 years ago on a different continent?

MrsDoyle,

Ha ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!

squaresinger,

These could be the antenae. I mean, carving into stone doesn’t really lend itself well for high-res depictions.

TheDoctorDonna,

Ah, that makes more sense actually, that thing definitely has more than 2 legs.

Freshfrozenplasma, in The awkwardly adorable way seals move on land is called "galumphing"

So I just started galumphing…

Looks like the thing where you can choose what paint color you want on your wall (I forgot the word I’m not English native😅)

ridethespiral,

They’re called paint swatches.

Have a great day 😀

@baruchin@lemmy.world avatar

Ambystoma mexicanum. Well known and loved in Mexico.

squaresinger, in Seed Pods of the Giant Himalayan Lily “Cardiocrinum Giganteum"

Imagine walking though a field/forest of these in the night.

CaptPretentious,

I wouldn’t even imagine doing that during the day

if you look at it sideways it kind of looks like a deep sea fish.

WingedObsidian, in Setenil de las Bodegas, Cádiz, Spain

That is gorgeous. I wonder how they seal the buildings around the rock to prevent moisture from making a damp house

Flextape.

Papercrane, in Setenil de las Bodegas, Cádiz, Spain

Where exactly is this? I don’t remember cádiz having those houses under rocks. It’s a coastal city with no real caves

loudmicro,

Cádiz province,not City

Papercrane,

Thanks for clarifying, that’s very interesting:)

jesterraiin, in Siderite and Dolomite “Dragon Scales” Specimen from Guizhou, China

I’m a bit drunk, what is my typical state to visit the Internet and the title merged into “sodomite” before my eyes.

Jesus Christ, isn’t the perception a delicate thing…

DarthBueller, in Rib vortices forming under a breaking wave

What is the scale of this? Am I looking underneath a huge wave or an adva?

oh no. Are you my father?

DarthBueller,

No, I’m future you.

Apparently he does live long enough to become the villain.

TvanBuuren,

With this kind of conversation we truly have outgrown the capitalist original system.

schwim, in What’s that stuff in your bellybutton? Science has the answer.
@schwim@lemmy.world avatar

I clean mine very rarely because sticking my finger in there causes a sense of shock and tingling that longers after. The sensation makes me physically ill.

Zikeji,

I’m much the same way. I still clean it often, but subconsciously. Occasionally I’ll realize what I’m doing and then get hit with the nausea and ill feeling. The worst part is the feeling begs me to go back to it and it takes a bit of effort to ignore.

schwim,
@schwim@lemmy.world avatar

That is exactly it, right down to having to fight the urge to repeat the thing that makes me feel sick! I would have never through that this would be something more than just my totally broken brain.

Uprise42, in Brick

Almost looks like water damage but that is either a lot of water pressure or a long amount of exposure…

lennster, in Common Milkweed Pods look like Green Parrots

So those aren’t parrots? Crazy 😂

MrJameGumb, in Common Milkweed Pods look like Green Parrots
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar
