I love coming back from Australia and bringing the knowledge that like every bird down there has just some insulting common name
Like learning that the Australian White Ibis are just regularly called "bin chickens" because they like rummaging through garbage is great and I'm better for knowing this
Seeing Sabrina Carpenter beating the living hell out of drunk muppets is something I never knew I needed in my life.
Also the fact that Muppets drink hard liquor is killing me.
Honestly, I'm very jealous of filter feeders.
Imagine you're hungry and you can just walk outside for a bit and just vibe and boom, you're fed.
It'd have to be something that is extremely innocuous and something only die hard algae people would get.
Like "Western Coast Fruit Basket" (it would have no resemblance to fruit or a basket unless you really tried).
This is the way
I have no way of sourcing this, but when I was in an algae class in uni, I remember my prof saying that one of his colleagues in the field gave common names to a bunch of unnamed red algae in one night over several glasses of wine and that's hilarious.
I need this to be true so bad.
