    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.

      Until it gets torn apart and eaten alive by something else, literally dying by getting chewed to death - pretty much the way of nature.

        Meaning that I just need to chill and feed from particles from the water instead of having to slave myself off for wage so a billionaire could dream of going Mars while trying to destroy the very planet we currently live. Don’t know what to think, but in Spike’s place I’d think that we actually need to do is a revolution!

    Ever see the underside of these on a fishtank side?

    I did once at a fish pet store.

    I remember it looking like a hundred tiny suction cups.

    But I can’t seem to find a good photo. This was the best I could find. Check out a real one if you get a chance.

    You have no fear. There’d be no point to it. All your defenses are passive. Fear is meant to inspire sudden action. You’re incapable of that, so your kind discarded that emotion millennia ago.

    While holding that exquisite level of peace in your tiny mind, a fisherman plucks you out of the water so some rich dude can eat your gonads.

          Uni.

          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.

      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.
