@Museek

can you just stick to the agenda without going into these fantasy games?

@Museek

oooh, that's a tricky situation.

i would avoid a rerun of that if i could.

i hope you aren't obligated to deal with him🙏🏻

@millard_jmm

lovely👌🏽🙏🏻

At the moment, we humans are lucky to coinhabit the earth with mollusks,

even if we are a recent presence in their much longer history.

I hope the terrestrial snails, secreted away in their burrows by day across the earth's vast landscapes, will continue their mysterious lives,

gliding slowly and gracefully through the night, millions of years into the future.

@CrypticMirror

wow. close call.
a reminder that death is always imminent as well as unpredictable.

glad you're both okay 🙏🏻

even snails organize to gain freedom.

Farmed snails unhappy with their lot in life have found ways to break free.

In the mid-nineteenth century, Sir George Head described the single-minded survival instinct of snails for sale at a street market in Rome: "The proprietor," Sir George commented,

"is obliged to exert his utmost vigilance and dexterity in order to restrain their incessant efforts to crawl over the edge of the basket and escape."

@ecksmc

yes, i've seen some youtube videos of people doing that, but it would be a perfect use of AI, just what it's made for 😂😂😂

@ecksmc

great idea though 👌🏽

@ecksmc

how do you report numbers to them?
i have a few i'd like to add to their program😈

@raspberrypanda

and there's this too🙈

@SandHillThicket
"The majority of these are microscopic, as Ernest Ingersoll points out in his 1881 essay "In a Snailery":

"Some [snail species] are so minute that they would not hide the letter o in this print."
If we Homo sapiens thought we were in charge of the planet,

here was clear evidence to the contrary. The humble snail and its clan have a far older, and stickier, foothold on the earth than we..."

@SandHillThicket
fear not.
"gastropods-which account for 80 percent of all mollusks-are one of the most successful animal groups.

They have existed for half a billion years, surviving or reevolving through several mass extinction events.

They make their home in nearly every habitat on earth. While thirty-five thousand living terrestrial snail species have been documented,

tens of thousands are not yet identified."
