Could be worse. You could be born whatever that thing is, but without the protective spikes.
How asshole bosses and landlords get reincarnated? (and have those crabs mentioned in the thread)
Does it have to get up after four hours sleep to work all day and go to IKEA at the weekend or does it just mess around it’s whole life in a warm ocean eating seafood and thinking gentle echinoid thoughts.
More like I must consume everything thoughts
Until it gets torn apart and eaten alive by something else, literally dying by getting chewed to death - pretty much the way of nature.
That nature thing sounds bad. Can we get rid of it?
In the end the world chews us all up and we die screaming and alone in our heads. Have a nice Sunday evening.
Noo😨
Oh I won’t be alone. My farts got the police called on me when I was alive how bad do you think they will be when I die
Oh, that’s kiki
Definitely not bouba
I don’t appreciate having my photo posted without my permission, Isaac.
I’d like some of that sweet, sweet, urchin purpose for existence.
I think I will be okay because I wouldn’t have a nervous system that can think at that level, porbably
I’ll do you one better:
Imagine you’re born and you’re a crab who parasitizes the rectum of one of these.
Gives a whole new meaning to the expression ‘eat shit’
Isn’t that just the original meaning?
Damn it, I mean… I guess you’re probably right lol, but I felt like I was being clever there for a few minutes :'-/
there are some scifi biological spaceships, they look cool and amazing.
but using then is akin to being those rectal parasites.
What about the Treeships from Hyperion? Plants don’t have rectums. Also, as long as you help the ship out a little, it’s symbiotic instead of parasitic.
Imagine you’re a human who pays top dollar to consume its gonads.
ahem
I could go look this up, but frankly, it’s your job now: elaborate, please.
The Japanese delicacy “uni” is urchin gonads
I’ll be honest, I like it. It has a soft texture, nice mild buttery flavour, and can be incorporated into various dishes though is commonly eaten on its own as sashimi.
Yep, I love it too.
(I really miss living near Little Tokyo)
That’s a good idea, thanks dude. I am going shopping at ours next week
Excellent!
Not having to go to work.
I’m unintentionally the social version of that
If I am correct about my cosmological theory.
We will all have a turn.
Both eating and being eaten, or being both the urchin genital and the sushi chef?
…I’m literally about to travel there for the first time…wish me luck
I don’t get it.
It’s the symbol representing a pivotal place called “The eye of the universe” in the game “The Outer Wilds”
If you enjoy story and/or exploration games, it is probably the greatest of its kind because it does some really unique things.
It is an incredible experience that explores using the player’s knowledge and understanding of the game world as a core mechanic and as such it is utterly impossible to re-experience by playing again unless you manage to get amnesia I suppose.
Ironically, the core mechanic makes the community of its players including content creators VERY careful about discussing it too much to avoid spoilers which can really destroy the experience so you just sorta have to go in blind or risk ruining it by investigating.
Screen shots and short clips will make it look like a walking simulator but this is incorrect. It is much more advanced than most things that look similar from the outside including things like a physics based flight model and a physically simulated solar system with incredibly unique micro-planets.
I know. I tried it.
I got stuck on the
water spout planet and couldn’t figure out where to go or what to do to get the ship out of the trees and just got frustrated and gave up because it was already sort of a slog to get even there in the first place, too.
I’m not the only one; a friend of mine is big into story and mechanics games but it just didn’t click for him, either. Some of us are just inevitably in the minority.
I started playing 4 days ago, thanks to the community I have successfully avoided spoilers for years. I’m a few hours off. Very excited to finally sit down and take my final flight

And their genitals are yummy: “uni”
Just about to say this. Luckily they’re 90% genital! More nut per ball if you will.
An Immense World by Ed Yong talks about this.
