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

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

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

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

Something still depends on its existence

[–] humorlessrepost 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

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

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

Titanium coffin it is.

I thought it was fungus and bacteria that consumed us?

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 1 points 7 months ago

Makes sense, thanks!

Wheat is the most successful lifeform on the planet.

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

All plants are carnivorous or cannibals.

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

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

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