Who knew humans and insects had so much in common? We should all take a lesson from nature and remember to protect our innermost meats (and bones).

a hermit krab will use other's bones to protect his outside bones that protect his inside meat

If only there was a word for that, like exterior skeleton or exoskeleton so.

I mean, they have only been around for over 550 m years...

To explain a word is a shower-thought?

I'd say no, but half of these posts say otherwise.

If you connect 4 sticks to some surface, you can sit on it!

Chairs aren't always sit-able height

if it fits it sits

Man if only there was this thing where language were malleable and could be used to express thoughts in deliberately humors ways.

I laughed way harder and louder than what was necessary or justified lol

It's true though.

You only need 1 stick to sit on if you are brave enough.

Now that is a shower-thought.

did you read my squishy comment on the praying mantis eating a hummingbird vid??

pretty sure the point of our meat and bones is to facilitate movement rather than to protect anything.
