Okay, I may be late to the party, but this is not a party I was about to miss. There's a preacher I recently learned about. It is called the bloody belly Home Jellyfish. It's kind of a mouthful, unless you say bloody belly jelly in that just kind of fun. It lives 3000ft down on the ocean

Tell me about something else unbelievable but real! https://s.swell.life/ST4jeB5COHfJ3Gp

This is directly from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. There's not a whole lot of information there, but there at least is some in case you'd like to read more about it

Exploding dynamite tree: https://s.swell.life/ST4Y72a0cBwaXoG

And here is a little something on the exploding Dynamite tree. If I remember correctly, it's the seed pods. As they dry, they reach a certain point when suddenly they crack and then the segments go flying and we're talking 150 mph or 240 km/hour, like they can do serious damage anyway. Kind of wild, right? That such a thing even exists. The more I learned about these crazy things on our own planet, the more alien it feels

Wow, that's an incredible fact. So how do they make glitter? How did the jellyfish produce glitter? But okay, this one isn't as amazing, I think. But this one I have a fun fact about a Spider that looks like bird poop because the birds are their predators, so they just camouflage themselves in the poop and survive. But yeah, I thought that was pretty fun, I think

@SeekingPlumb wow

So yeah, I totally buy that story. Alien species in our oceans. We only discovered how much of the ocean 1%. 5%. So no, I never Daydream about traveling out of space, but more exploring the Earth itself because there's still so much to learn and to see. Amazing, isn't it? If you think about it

But I'm guessing they're feeding it whatever they might feed other sorts of jellyfish and they don't know what it eats naturally, is my guess. But along those lines, they say that other sorts of jellyfish that have a red belly. Okay, first, the dark red makes it essentially invisible that deep in the ocean when it's dark, so it blends in with the black. And so the theory is that because of some other jellyfish that have a red belly tend to eat bioluminescent prey

They don't believe it, but it's how they like to see the world. And that was instead of there being a creator or a God or something, they've created this thing. It's not gendered and they call it Bob. And Bob is dreaming, and that's what our universe is, and Bob sees everything through our eyes. And so when we're dreaming that's Bob dreaming of dreaming, which is fascinating in itself

That's so funny. Yeah. It's like bird poop was already kind of scary, and now it's like, really scary

I had to laugh. I I was taking a walk today. And long story short, I was staring very intently at the ground while I was walking. And suddenly I come across the biggest splat of barred s***. I couldn't help but think of our conversation. And just to be safe. Although everything looked safe. But just to be safe. I stepped over and around it, giggling all the way as I carried on. Thank you. Now I will always be cautious

I’m sorry about the photo i have. I will photograph the balls now because they are heavy, dangerous and gorgeous.

Oh, this entire thread has been enlightening. It poops glitter. Oh, my God. I never thought I wanted to see something that poop glitters. Yet here we are. Here we are. Okay. My fascinating life on Earth would be because I want to talk about plants that I suppose a lot of you might not be aware of in the west. It is called the Cannonball flower. Okay

@Binati_Sheth (Link fixed!)

Anyway, I'm amazed and I just checked and found that the link I shared that shows the glitter pooping in action wasn't working. So I fixed it and put in a link that will work. So if you really want to see it, you can go ahead and click on it. Thank you so much for sharing about this Cannon ball flower. It's beautiful

The species, so to speak, is different. So the catwalk flowers do grow on the trunk and there's so many of them. And the uncles and aunties mostly pick all of them. And if they're not picked, they do drop. So it's a beautiful plant that becomes barren and very Bali by 10:00 A.m.. And just like you, I would not want to knock under it too. So there's an aquaar invitable story anecdote, so to speak. Where Akbar asks bird

That is interesting with respect to, like, the different petals, the number of petals and which ones are found. Lucky and so on. And that these stories are similar around the globe, yet different plants. You know, I've heard that there being some common and themes in various religious faiths or common stories, but for whatever reason, I never stopped to think about where else this might show up. That is interesting. You made me think of another plan I recently learned about

I know, right? I feel like a big kid because I'm so obsessed with a creature that not only glows and looks like it does, but then it poops glitter. I'm like, I have to keep telling people about it, and I'm like, I I know I'm crazy, but the fact that something like this actually exists. Wow

No matter what we end up doing in the giant scheme of things, it comes to similar conclusions. Right? So it's beautiful. I am a skeptic. I am on the Agnostic, Ethiopia sticker side of things. And even I find this beautiful that somehow people found a way to come up with these things on religious fronts, on observational fronts. To me, that is wonderful

And the pollen is on the other side so as the Bee is enjoying this fake stuff, whatever enjoyment it gets out of it, the pollen is actually falling on its back so it's still pollinating as it's enjoying itself there. But like picking up the pollen I mean yeah, anyway, it was a fascinating looking flower and then I got to see more images of all of the cannonballs. It is the wildest looking tree ever. Anyway. Again. Thank you for that
