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

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 😆

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

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

Conversely, "Himmelbjerget" (translation: Sky Mountain) does not reach the sky and is in fact a 147m (482 ft) tall hill.
Droechai@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
What does the top touch if not sky? I would say that all mountains above sea level technically touch the 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.
Well it's just a hill, not a mountain, and there's buildings on top of it, so double no lol

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

It’s a placebo meme - you are in the control group 📋

Do it taste like shrimp?
Crawdad look kinda like mini lobsters, but they sure don't taste like lobster.
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc · 18 pts · 2y
Of course crawdad doesn't taste like lobster, you silly.

Does a Daddy Long Legs taste like long legs or like daddy?
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc · 5 pts · 2y

Crawdad.
Anticorp@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Fishier than lobster and tougher.
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Huh, interesting. I'd still like to try it sometime.
Anticorp@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Yeah, it's pretty good when cooked properly.

Aww look how happy he is. I'm glad scale enjoys his gift. :)
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 2y
I have many questions. Do they breathe air or water? How long ago did they diverge? What do they taste like?
lookorex@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Tasty bugs

Is this related to the Pacific Northwest tree octopus?
