what the fuckIt's one of the things that makes pigeons thrive in cities. They can eat a diet of cigarette butts and trash and filter out the worst parts when feeding their chicks.

I like imagining being in the middle of growing a huge flower and going you know what flowers are played out and the medium is stale, its time to make a big leaf.@jonny I would think that plant was fictional or at least exaggerated, but I met one in Edinburgh Botanic Gardens and can confirm it's real and smells powerfully bad: not just foul but *worrying*, like "I am not descended from animals that hung around in places that smelled like this, because those that did had no descendants."
I should correct myself about "alternates annually" - more like, it makes a leaf annually unless it thinks it can afford a flower.
Wonderfully weird life form, would approach with dread and nauseate myself again.

@jonny The platypus. The better question to ask of that animal is what doesn't it do weirdly

Rhizocephala is such an honor of a name to have in the Latinate species name space.the males are hyperparasites who inject themselves into a settled female and cease to exist as independent organisms through the degeneration of all tissues except the ones responsible for spermatogenesis.
I have read this sentence over and over again and can actively feel my ability to imagine fucked up forms of life growing as I do

Turing pattern phase shift from liney modality to speckled modality on the front part of thorax. Spectacular. To die for. -

I need to smell the dread flowerI give you two points for not taking a moment to spell out that its name means "giant misshaped dick".
Such restraint
