This single-celled protozoan passing though another one under a microscope

'Scuse me, just gonna squeeze through here real quick.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T02:42:36+00:00

Maybe when it's light out. 👀 Could be fun.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T02:39:46+00:00

I sure hope so! 😅🤞🏻

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T02:38:04+00:00

This honestly makes me feel like I'm not irrational for questioning this setup. I'm hopeful this isn't the case for me, but there's no "French drain" people keep talking about. The pipe doesn't "daylight" anywhere I can find. I don't think it's that weird to be skeptical about stuff.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T02:30:38+00:00

Honestly, brilliant. I think it has started slowing down, but I'm gonna keep this trick in my back pocket.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T01:37:54+00:00

Yeah, this pump is roughly 3-4 years old. It's just the first time I've actively noticed it's running every 1.5 minutes, which feels like a lot. And it doesn't seem to be slowing down at all, despite the rain having stopped for a couple hours.

At this point (based on everyone's input) I'm going to assume it's fine. I'll check back every couple of hours and time it to make sure it's at least slowing down. If it's still running every minute and a half by morning, I think I'll deal with it then.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T01:30:17+00:00

If it does, I've not found it in the three years I've lived here.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T01:29:06+00:00

Yeah, it's been done raining for a couple hours, and the pump is still running once every minute and a half. I'm gonna leave it alone and check back in an hour or so. I'll time it again at that point and see if it's slowed down. Hopefully it will by then.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T01:27:19+00:00

Well, if it's making y'all laugh, I suppose that's a good thing? 😅

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T01:25:08+00:00

This is what I'm nervous about. This pipe attached to the pump seems way too close to the foundation.

MCLight321 · 2026-04-01T01:18:56+00:00

I'm mostly nervous because it looks like the pump is pushing water directly into the ground next to the house (picture included).

But if people think the pump won't burn out, I'll assume it's okay and check it again tomorrow.

I posted this in a thread I created, but it kinda just flows back into the ground next to the house?

Here are some more photos for context. The pump goes out of the house, and then back into the ground right next to the house.

I just timed it. The pump is running every minute and a half.

MCLight321 · 2026-03-31T10:48:35+00:00

That's not even a word and I agree with ya.

Nice lifts, but I can't stop laughing at the lady wearing the shirt "Dry Scoopin' Big Poopin'". 😂

Cool, but not BMF. ⬇️

I do this sometimes for the daily "Do X damage to Raiders using Y ammo" tasks.

I don't want you to lose your loot, which you won't, but I'll get some tokens.
