Damn. You look good for your age.

I'd argue, but I agree. I don't need to know how they look, if they're a billion years and capable of communicating, whatever state they're in looks good. Even if its a fungus posessed rot monster.

appreciate when a symbiote becomes it's own thing.

the tree of life isn't meant to merge branches,

I imagine it'll look like paras

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Paras is a fungus. Totally different thing.

[–] bpev@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Torterra is a tortoise. Totally different thing.
