This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Creates one super intelligent omnivorous species with opposable thumbs and long life-spans

So what we're supposed to just watch the SSS-tier species take over the world without any natural predators? What kind of balancing is this?

Octopi fit ¾ of those requirements, as do Orca

Actually, do Octopi even need opposable thumbs? They can grasp things with their tentacles as effectively as we can grasp with ournl thumbs, can't they?

Octopi got heavily dev-nerfed though, they die after reproducing so they can't unlock the best parts of the education tree.
