iirc John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect grade 4 nostalgia, though.

Hell, I could’ve picked that up off playing Jurassic World Evolutions in the last six months and it’s backpedal lore.

Whatever it is, Michael Crichton was no idiot.

I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…

Invertebrates? No. All out

Fish? No. Also a Hammerhead would’ve really sold this comic lol.

Birds? No. Though, even on the side they do often have a tilt toward frontal in a lot of predatory birds. It could be argued…

Reptiles? No.

Amphibians? No. There’s no even trying to place rules on that optical chaos.

Mammals? Yeah, pretty much. Can’t think of an outlier but I’m sure there’s plenty of obvious ones.

Edit’ Ah, there we go. Of course marine mammals are an exception. But back in land, as too are llamas. Makes you wonder…what are the llamas plotting?

Hot property for nesting birds.

Well you can tell by my bind to tubulin

Oooh, the second US civil war may still be on but not in the way we first thought.

Looks like foreground guy is drawing across range.

🤦

Fuck’s sake.

Let me get the black mirror so we can have more of this shit .

In shell
Drawing pictures
Of fence tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Eyestalks raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of pale blue below

Scientists tried to give attention
To the fact that his shell turned left
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world, but

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Clearly I remember
Pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin’
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Scientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something the others wouldn’t mate
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Try to forget this… (try to forget this)
Try to erase this… (try to erase this)
From the postdoc paper

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

I assume they mean “just north of Antarctica”. But really it could be any body of water on the planet it could fit in.

Got to say, I don’t really understand. But words ending with the -demic morpheme aren’t used lightly where I’m from and still mean what they do. I assume that’s what’s going on in this comment.

There’s no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn’t a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I’ll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver’s licence…

hopeful-weirdo just needs to be told to consider what increasing by 500% means and it’ll click.

Someone vomitted to death. I’d probably rather the cancer and wolf combo.

Yeah. It sounds more like he could be Ant-Man and is able to pick up on the trails. If he can communicate with them by twreking his butt into the ground, I’m convinced.

Not to alarm anyone, but unless you’re doing the 100m in around 11s or less, current large crocodiles are still faster than you. But if you’re fit enough to keep the speed going, you should outlast them over short enough distance.

And if you can’t do any of that, well you’ll have to run lateral to it and hope your agility out maneouvers them.

It’s like being subscribed to a toddler in the “why” phase.

Nah. It starts out like THUD! THUD! and then slowly after a couple minutes of warming up, that goes all muffled and it becomes that familiar high-pitched ringing noise.

Ha, I have a friend called Rani

I like to say, “Stastically you’re much more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the beach than be attacked by a shark once there.”

So people are less afraid of sharks and more afraid of each other, like it should be.
