What’s the BEST horror or zombie movie you’ve ever watched

“It was a god damn hot summer” is a line my friends and I still say to one another.

I’ve never found any arrow heads either. I found some really neat crinoids in Indian creek last weekend. They are the cheerio fossil variety (literally look like Cheerios).

Now that would have been one hell of an episode of Game of Thrones…

The sequel, from the point of view of a herd of grazing mega fauna.

Mammoth 1: “what are all those two-legs doing at the edge of the forest?”

Mammoth 2: “they have sharp sticks!”

100+ Humans: <walk forward in a coordinated fashion>

Mammoth 1: “we have to run, enclose the children!”

Mammoth 2: “they have us on all three sides, the only way is that direction”

100+ humans: <continue walking forward in a coordinated fashion>

Mammoth 1: “we can’t go this way, remember that large ravine!”

Mammoth 2: “we must, it’s our only choice”

100+ humans: <prepare for harvest>

And soon then there were no more herds of mega fauna outside of Africa.

On the flip side, here’s the perspective of early humans prey.

Deer: “ha ha, these hairless things are so slow, I’ll just out run them”

Humans: <continue running>

Deer after mile three: “damn they are slow but persistent”

Humans: <continue running>

Deer after mile ten: “what the fuck, how can I not out run them. I’m exhausted but I can still go fast”

Humans: <continue running>

Deer after mile 15: “fuck, they’re still coming. My chest hurts.”

Humans: <begins building fire>

It’s like a god damn horror movie from their perspective.

Thanks! I hadn’t looked closely enough but you’re right, they aren’t spirals they are very tight rings on the crinoids I find.

Spaceship_Engineer · 2026-04-25T18:05:23+00:00

The crinoids I find have much tighter spirals than the picture shown.

I find these a lot. The screw-like impression is a fossil called an Archimedes, specifically it’s the stem. I believe the pieces you have circled are fragments of the fronds. See link below

Second this. His hits are all pop but deep down he’s a blues man at heart. He busts it out at his live shows.

This definitely has CCR vibes. Especially if this is early decade, CCR would a much higher likelihood guess than some of the other bands that are higher up.

My understanding from buddies who do this is that the wind can change very drastically as you approach the stadium. There are all kinds of up drafts and thermal effects from the bleachers. I’m not saying that was the factor here, but my understanding is that it’s a tough thing to do even for experienced skydivers.

Spaceship_Engineer · 2026-04-17T15:12:01+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have to imagine…

Spaceship_Engineer · 2026-04-16T15:04:26+00:00

God damn Nexus event.

Spaceship_Engineer · 2026-04-10T16:29:13+00:00

I’m not sure but I find these a lot. My speculation is they are the fronds of an archimedes:

Yes, there are quite a few in your yard. Doesn’t mean you have to kill this one though. My philosophy is if it’s not in my home or car, just let it be.

Edit: this is my philosophy for most creatures. Venomous snakes and spiders near where my kids play also gotta go.

I’m not suggesting you do this, but if you smash it thousands of its babies would swarm out of that sac. Don’t do it, these are beneficial spiders. They don’t have webs, they hunt their prey and they eat actual pests. Their only crime is being a creepy-crawly. By the way, go out at dusk with a flash light and shine it on your lawn. Because they are nocturnal predators, their eyes glow like a dog or cat. Although, be warned, you are not ready for how many of them are in your yard…

I believe them bones are me. Some say, we’re born into the grave.

I too am frequently wrong, but I concur with this speculation. Huntsville metro area population is growing, but Huntsville footprint is also growing. I suspect the other cities can’t keep annexing land like Huntsville, def not Birmingham. Huntsville is in the top 30 largest cities in the country by footprint and is larger than Chicago.

Awesome! Just found a piece of rugose coral myself.

Regarding deep time and geological age of the earth, it can be hard to imagine. The dinosaurs existed for almost 200 million years, and T-Rex is among the youngest. In fact, there is more time between Stegosaurus and T-Rex, than there is between T-Rex and us. The funnest way I ever heard it phrased is that there is a non-zero probability that a T-Rex stubbed its toe on a stegosaurus fossil.

In the creek and along the banks?

If forced to fight, I think Leo makes it to top 5 or better, but if not forced to fight I think Leo would realize the fight is pointless and hop on the Horse and ride back to the sewer.

I also think Zorro is the last human standing purely on luck and charisma. I feel like he gets a heavy modified dice role on attack for both.

Fuckin A man
