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 πŸ˜†

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They can be!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] Viking_Hippie 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

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

[–] [email protected] 67 points 7 months ago

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

Do it taste like shrimp?

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (3 children)

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

It taste like dad.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Get away from dad right this instant!

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

It taste just like daddy's long legs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

What do they taste like?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Crawdad.

[–] Anticorp 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fishier than lobster and tougher.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Anticorp 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty good when cooked properly.

[–] doubletandard 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

no banana for scale?

[–] AtariDump 64 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] dingus 18 points 7 months ago

Aww look how happy he is. I'm glad scale enjoys his gift. :)

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] lookorex 5 points 7 months ago

Tasty bugs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Is this related to the Pacific Northwest tree octopus?
