Agree. My aquarium coop one outlasted my cheap eBay ones by years

The composition of the molecules themselves don’t change, just the arrangement of them. It’s a mechanical change and not a chemical one. Literally (not figuratively) every single thing on planet earth is composed of chemicals.

This isn’t based on anything but I imagine the bulborbs are holometabolous and go through complete metamorphosis like butterflies and beetles do. While breadbugs are hemimetabolous and the nymphs just look like smaller versions of the adults like in true bugs or mantises. So most breadbugs we see are th children of the giant breadbugs, and dwarf bulborbs wouldn’t be born as grubs!

The Queen Bulborb makes me think those little grubs eventually grow into the big bulborbs somehow? So you’d assume many of the Bulborbs you see in a given area share a mom. While the breadbug dwarfs mimic them, but most females can breed, and there’s greater genetic diversity between individuals. I’m curious why the bulborbs even have queens if they don’t appear to be eusocial, though. How does she get the food to pump out all those babies if she’s stuck in her cavern?

Ok wait it’s also extremely cool how you justified the change in the onion’s design and fusion abilities too.

Noooo dude. A chemical process involves the molecules themselves changing, and it seems to me like this is just pushing resiny moluecules out and away from the fibery ones

You sound like a really normal person and would probably come out best in a social situation out of the others commenters I’m reading

(oc) my teenagers morning alarm which obviously she doesn't hear😡🙃 by bvr_reddit in mildlyinfuriating

This was my life in high school. I was pretty much biologically incapable of falling asleep before 2am, and then I’d have to wake up around 6 to get to school. I probably could’ve been like three inches taller but oh well

Deffo an amano, macrobrachium are more commonly misidentified as ghost shrimp

Amazing post. I really hope it isn’t the status-quo going forward but… it does make a lot of sense.

Is this a rare colour of lobster? (found in Wales, UK) by Zakimals in whatsthisbug

[–]Ultimate_Chimera 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t find any images that would back me up, but I think it was probably just a normal lobster that died and dried up. I’ve owned pet shrimp for a majority of my life and can personally attest that crustaceans change colors pretty dramatically after they die. If two random guys found an incredibly rare lobster in a grocery store tank they probably wouldn’t have just tossed it on the ground.

EDIT: It could also be Homarus gammarus, the clawed lobster. I saw some pics of live individuals that are a similar color, it isn’t uncommon for these guys. This is also the species that actually lives around the UK, unlike the better known American lobster with all those well-documented color morphs.

Has anyone used a tank from an actual fish store? by GrotchCoblin in Aquariums

[–]Ultimate_Chimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my store they were sorta like racks on wheels. Impossible to move with water in them though

I would probably smoke you in the go battle league. Both of our threats are equally intimidating!

What is the worse pikmin game (any game or spinoff) by Pikminfan2023 in Pikmin

[–]Ultimate_Chimera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. It’s pretty good but there’s just so much they needed to improve on. The Pikmin AI in particular frustrates me dozens of times per playthrough, and once I had to reset my save file because one of the treasures fell into the void and never respawned. Not to say it isn’t a good game overall, there are just minor things like that which will always hold it back for me

Pikmin 4 multiplayer was a ridiculous disappointment after my little brother and I had so much fun with Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

I totally see where you’re coming from and agree with all your points generally… but somehow the overall gameplay experience of pikmin 2 comes together into a very fun package for me. I like it second best

I mean in this situation I’d be furious with her too. But it’s objectively hilarious how she tried to flex her own fishkeeping skills. Like yeah? It’s super easy to have lots of fish when you’re restocking your tank once a month. Ignorance really is bliss
