Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?

[–] denial@feddit.org 81 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 24 points 10 months ago

Clams have a "foot" that they use to move around with sometimes.

I'd put the slime as "probably". Their shells can get coated in slime, but not always and they don't generate it.

Only two legs and too many houses. Slimy, yes.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Phylogenetically, they're still tetrapods.

they live in freshwater like lakes so they are slimy, have 4 legs, and can retract into their body

I’m a fan of Fly River Turtles (also affectionately known as Pig Nosed Turtles):

That graph is also missing a data point at [Slime, Legs, House] = [No, 0, 1].

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Clam? I'd put them at like 0.25 slime, though

Hermit crab should work? It feels more 'house' than a regular exoskeleton

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 17 points 10 months ago

It doesn't have slime to be yes on the slime axis.

Four appendages, is slimy, and has a house...

Is it the average landlord?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.

If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 27 points 10 months ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus with a lot of legs/limbs removed.

I guessing there might have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautiloid, now extinct that had "only" 4 legs.

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 24 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's Longhorn Cowfish.

The hexagonal plate-like scales of these fish are fused together into a solid, triangular, box-like carapace, from which the fins and tail protrude.

A well lubeicated turtle

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 19 points 10 months ago (6 children)

What about no legs, no slime, and a house?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bro, that's a regular old house.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How'd you get a house with no slime?

I don't know, some turtles could be quite slimy. At the corner where it says turtle it should probably say tortoise, and at the "what goes here" corner you can put something like a softshell turtle.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah turtle goes in that corner and them armadillo or something for 4 legs, house, no slime.

Octopus, they typically go into objects and close them tightly like a shell, and no doubt about legs and slime.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] Soup@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They have zero, actually. No arms, either. They’re molluscs like clams and snails and the tentacles are actually a single modified apendage we call their foot. So, by that, they’ve actually got not enough legs and eight “toes”.

I'm more concerned with the partials on the scale. 3 legs, maybe slime, and 0.25 house?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Great… now I have to go fill them all in….

🤔

Would an armadillo count as 3/4 of a house?

I don't wanna meet anything that is slimy and has four legs. That is pretty much how games like half-life start.

As a turtle fan it's always cool when you can look at a diagram and suddenly spot a turtle on it! 🐢

It's like looking at the H-R diagram and going "ooo, Discworld would be right about there, possibly"
