Obviously it would be terrible if everyone read this

Thanks! And yes, that's on scuba.

The octopus is about the size of a pea. The salps are around 5cm long, IIRC

Two salps, which are transparent except for an organ at the bottom and their translucent spine and outer surface. One has a small octopus in side it at the base; its mantle is a mottled orange and its curled tentacles are almost white.

Dude, there's no point hiding in that salp. It's transparent. We can still see you.

I think that's a male argonaut peering at us from the middle of the photo

Neptune has a veto.

"When they pay up"

Always a special moment

The only time I notice it - or the lack of it - is when the spacing in a line b e c o m e s r i d i c u l o u s because someone has decided to maintain justification and avoid hyphenation, and that's jarring.

TBH, once you get into the realms of "an incomprehensibly long time that I have absolutely no reference for at all" it kinda ceases to matter :)
I know that's probably nails on a chalkboard for a palaeontologist, but so it goes

Really? I know it's related but I thought it was a... pre-mammal, on the grounds that it lived way before proper mammals showed up

I've always liked Dimetrodon, but sadly it didn't even make the "Others" list... and also comes under "not actually a dinosaur".

*sigh*

I'm no expert, but I think that if the Pope speaks ex cathedra, there will be absolutely no doubt that he is doing so. Everything we've heard so far seems to be exactly what you'd expect from a Pope, but not binding doctrine.

I always ask, "And will Walmart (or whoever) match my donation?"

You can guess what the answer is, and it makes me feel better about saying the same to them.

Wearing slippers around the house is good, actually

Watch A Pearlfish Dive Into The Anus Of A Sea Cucumber – The Perfect Home! YouTube video by IFLScience

*laugh* RYAN REYNOLDS actor of stage and screen narrated a video about PEARLFISH and sea cucumber butts! huh. youtu.be/2I6fWciqKI0?...

A small, elongate red fish perched head-down on a white branch of a gorgonian soft coral. The fish has red and gold rings around its eye, a translucent dorsal fin, and some scattered white markings on its body. The polyps of the gorgonian are open. #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #UnderwaterPhotography

A goby (Bryaninops sp., I think) on a gorgonian in Anilao

If they're playing, you should probably also plan an escape route from the building in case of structural damage

Possibly one of the stranger things that has ended up on the 🦀 feed, but... there's a crab, so it qualifies!
