Everything on this planet depends on everything else for survival in one way or another

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

If by “everything” you mean life, I think a few chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea are exceptions.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Something still depends on its existence

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Sure. I didn’t claim otherwise. Being depended on isn’t the same as being dependent.

Wheat is the most successful lifeform on the planet.

I thought it was fungus and bacteria that consumed us?

[-] icosahedron@ttrpg.network 8 points 6 days ago

decomposers turn organic material from corpses into simpler nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. for example, proteins are broken down into amino acids, which then decompose into ammonium and nitrates. these nutrients are absorbed into soil and consumed by plants

tldr: plants eat corpses after decomposers turn them into nutrients

[-] str82L@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Makes sense, thanks!

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Jokes on the plants then, we poison our corpses and bury them in concentrated locations.

All plants are carnivorous or cannibals.

The number of posters in this thread who don't recognize Rick Moranis is too damn high!

[-] Astongt615@lemmy.one 11 points 6 days ago

"a man" my ass!!

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

TBF I didn't recognize him either until you said something, and I grew up with his films.

"It isn't very hard to see

Stop and think it over, pal

Side note: I am reminded of Lil Shop of Horrors and the line "feed me Seymour" but I did not search if this is actually from the show

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Yes, this picture is of Rick Moranis playing Seymour Krelborn in Little Shop of Horrors while holding Audrey II.

I was on very low battery and couldn't check myself.

This made me think of Little house of horrors (the black in white one)

Edit: this one https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0054033/

[-] Muscar@discuss.online 0 points 6 days ago

"black in white"...

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This made me think of little house of horrors (the color one"l)

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

the special effects are really impressive, it's worth checking out

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Worth noting it's not computer graphics, it is a really excellent puppet
