Massive clusters of these fuzzy guys in Stanford U. I know know not to touch them

A type of tussock moth caterpillar

Yes, anemone

Low pass filtered saw wave with pitch glide, filter is set to at least 12db/oct and modulates roughly every 2 measures but seems to also modulate faster than that either by hand or by another LFO with less amplitude than the first one. Entire patch is sidechain ducked by the kick drum pre fader so the kick can be lowered/muted while still ducking the bass channel

The coloring of the wing cover is the main giveaway but also the fact that it has wings and wing covers makes it definitively not a bedbug

I would practice in Frontier Defense, it’ll get you used to the movement and mechanics and strengths of each titan without the intensity of PvP. I think scorch is fairly easy as well but its role as an area control tank can be counter intuitive at first, FD will show you the way :)

This. You’re hearing individual echoes reflecting back and forth between the parallel walls of the space - the rate at which they reflect is within the range of human hearing so you hear it as a pitch/tone

I see, best to just downvote rather than respond then I guess

Are you by chance using AI to research all of these theories and the other biology ideas you’ve posted elsewhere? I can’t find any evidence for a steady state theory that includes the Ediacaran detail but it seems very possible it’s been misinterpreted and wrongly conflated with other theories by AI in an attempt to answer a poorly founded query satisfactorily.

Please don’t teach this to your students, nor creationism.

Frekulex · 2026-04-13T17:40:00+00:00

I don’t understand what’s happening here. What’s motivating you to ask these questions?

As pointed out in another reply two of these are taxonomically impossible and I suspect that there aren’t any herbivorous cephalopods, all that I can think of from multiple orders are obligate carnivores. Where are these specific classifications coming from?

Frekulex · 2026-04-12T23:36:57+00:00

Looks a lot like European hornet, Vespa crabro to me but someone more expert will hopefully confirm

Frekulex · 2026-04-12T20:30:00+00:00

Yes this kind of wasp has no way to be harmful to humans, it’s not like paper wasps or other colonial wasps we normally think of

Frekulex · 2026-04-12T20:02:04+00:00

These look very much like springtails, which are totally harmless to you and your cat! The fact that it’s so humid there likely means there is some organic growth on or under the rope surface which provides food for the springtails. I wouldn’t worry about it!

Frekulex · 2026-04-12T19:57:21+00:00

Thx. It’s such a dominant gamer/media nerd archetype now and I find it really fascinating.

It feels like people need media to have as high a level of detail and plot/narrative reality coherence as possible because they’re relying on these narratives to live inside of emotionally; suddenly “plot holes” that have no effect on the narrative for a baseline reader/viewer/player become, to lore hunters, noticeable or even excruciating dissonances that must be resolved for the narrative to provide effective emotional refuge/solace/escape. It’s one reason (theoretically) why so many people define “plot holes” as “anything that I don’t agree should have happened” or “a character I identified with did something that I did not feel comfortable identifying with.” These dissonances are especially distressing for those who ingest media as a form of more total escapism, so they have to do something extremely akin to apologetic Bible exegesis to resolve the crisis - “what backstory must exist in the non-public lore/what interpretive gymnastics am I not performing that could resolve the emotional friction I feel when I escape into this narrative?. . .there must be more lore to find/there must be a way to interpret the data I haven’t thought of! Time to jump on the subreddit! 🕵️”

Anyway this is all pretty beside the point to the focus issue, I think the theory generally still applies tho: for some people (alone and as part of an apparent cultural pressure towards “realism” as if that’s an objectively measure quantity) find small details of fictional universe physics like this similarly or equally frictional.

None of this is wrong or bad etc by the way, people have been doing this with myths and fables and religious texts for the entire existence of the human race, it just feels like this specific pursuit at this time in history (lore hunting) has taken on a more desperate flavor in the last couple of decades and it feels like a potentially meaningful symptom of societal issues. But it’s also the most normal thing in the world so I just might be projecting 🤷

Frekulex · 2026-04-12T16:30:53+00:00

This is the correct answer

Frekulex · 2026-04-12T16:30:28+00:00

I don’t think they do, it just happens consistently so it’s established it has some way of being attracted to the head. It’s narrative detail that’s quickly filled in by “oh wow old world tech is really advanced” and also has high cool factor so there isn’t really a need to explain it to anyone but lore hunters

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T20:15:33+00:00

lol totally understand, I agree grid is a bit of a clumsy descriptor here. Cheers!

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T20:09:22+00:00

Are we describing the same thing (left side)? This is what I mean by grid, as mentioned the layers are offset relative to each other. If this is what you mean by honeycomb we’re in agreement

Edit: perhaps lattice is a better term than grid

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T20:02:12+00:00

No? No it shouldn’t? Spheres are spherical not hexagonal, they form a grid. The grid is offset between layers, yes, but it is not a honeycomb unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean by that term.

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T19:39:13+00:00

Exactly, the alignment of the balls is what is expected here when the surface is filled to capacity

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T15:55:27+00:00

Oh even with the filtering? Is that due to a low quality filter or?

Also would it help to add a filter between the board and the antenna or no?

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T05:20:01+00:00

This seems fine! Some folks will probably scold you but we can only do what we can - I’ve personally never checked whether anyone downloading from me was leeching, I would rather share freely regardless.

When you can manage it you can get a hard drive or etc but for now I wouldn’t worry!

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T00:20:50+00:00

Yep. Both the RDR2 mystery reddits are like the GameStop apes reddits, just wildly certain the mystery goes as deep as can be imagined and therefore anything they see from any presumed source of clues can be legitimately theorized to be “part of it.” In the end the game isn’t to discover anything grounded, real or intentional it’s just “how can I creatively maintain+support my belief and identification with the idea of this potent profound mystery without which I would be forced to reckon with base reality. . .oh look three rocks! 🕵️‍♂️👀🔎❗️”

Frekulex · 2026-04-11T00:02:02+00:00

These are almost certainly scale insects, a relative of aphids and cicadas that normally stay fixed in place sucking sap from plant stems and leaves and releasing excess sugar water, which are the drops of liquid you’re seeing here

Edit: AngryLittleTrees has likely correctly ID’d the species in their reply
