Remember those sea monkey aquariums that just had brine shrimp in em? I want a tardigrade aquarium.

Tardigrades are effectively invisible to the naked eye, so it might be rather disappointing.

Look if science can't engineer giant tardigrades for aquariums then what is it good for?

Or better yet, giant tardigrades that are roughly the size of a large dog/small wolf for the purpose of having an effectively immortal sled team.

That sounds like the kind of ridiculous plot line you'd only see in some sort of cheap Star Trek knockoff.

I want a squeeze toy with tardigrade shape. You know, like those toys shaped like a rooster/chicken that dogs chew on

q. why would professors being late in marking your papers eternally be a problem?

a. because it's a tardy grade.
