Huh, til terrestrial shrimp exists. Would've thought it will be categorised as something entirely different.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

I'm more tickled by the fact that "The Cyclops Mountains" are a real place and not just part of a D&D campaign run by a DM who's bad at names πŸ˜†

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 8 points 7 months ago

What, like real mountains aren't named after things you find there?!?!

I visited the Rocky Mountains once. The name checked out.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Conversely, "Himmelbjerget" (translation: Sky Mountain) does not reach the sky and is in fact a 147m (482 ft) tall hill.

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

What does the top touch if not sky? I would say that all mountains above sea level technically touch the sky

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

What does the top touch if not sky

Either a gift shop or a touristy restaurant. Haven't been there in a long time, so I'm a bit hazy on the details.

all mountains above sea level technically touch the sky

Well it's just a hill, not a mountain, and there's buildings on top of it, so double no lol

Grasshoppers are terrestreal shrimps

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Your MOM a terrestrial shrimp is, young grasshopper.

[-] flora_explora@beehaw.org 4 points 7 months ago

Well, not really. One are insects the other crustaceans. Woodlice would probably be a better comparison?

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Both are artropodes, crustaceans and insects are no so different either, mainly due to the adaption of the environment. Molusks and snails are another similar group, both are in our recipes since long time ago.

This is cool but also, like, not even pretending to be a meme?

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 69 points 7 months ago

It’s a placebo meme - you are in the control group πŸ“‹

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 20 points 7 months ago

Taking notes from pill bugs I see

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 7 months ago

Do it taste like shrimp?

Crawdad look kinda like mini lobsters, but they sure don't taste like lobster.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 18 points 7 months ago

Of course crawdad doesn't taste like lobster, you silly.

It taste like dad.

[-] MelastSB@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

Get away from dad right this instant!

Does a Daddy Long Legs taste like long legs or like daddy?

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 5 points 7 months ago

It taste just like daddy's long legs

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Fishier than lobster and tougher.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Huh, interesting. I'd still like to try it sometime.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty good when cooked properly.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

I have many questions. Do they breathe air or water? How long ago did they diverge? What do they taste like?
