The friend you send bug pictures to. Also accepting dead-thing-on-beach pictures, dog pictures, and stories about your cats.
People, my husband pointed out, literally did indeed simply walk on in

(Giant spiders excepted. A home security system called Shelob might *actually* be compelling tbh)

Oh the branches of my interests are myriad and twisted. I’m here for the nerds with hyper specific enthusiasms as a whole

No not annoying at all! I just thought we were all in on the joke together. And now we can be 👍🏼

This is compelling yes! What kind(s) of sharks were you working with there?

Does it bother them to schloop in air like that? I guess not, because they do it, but seems like it would feel real weird

I’ve spent like 50% of the total time of the last three weeks burping a baby so gas in/out is on my mind

Ahaha oh no! I definitely thought you were referencing the meme. Some people in a Facebook nature-jokes group like to tease Dr. Shiffman by insisting sharks are smooth in all directions when in fact they are covered in SKIN TEETH (very metal extremely cool)

Whale sharks have em on their eyes even

I wonder if the aquarium folks have thoughts about this, too. Like “Frankie the Leopard Shark loves it extra much when Janet the Diver does a feeding,” or something

Do any sharks recognize individual people? Like… can I make friends with a shark, is really what I’m asking.

Also interesting to know if a person could be *nemeses* with a shark, but I aspire to that much less

In all directions, I hear
