*makes the noise of a catcalling porcupine
You could never be born a sea urchin. They dont even breed, they just squirt gametes in to the water and hope for the best.
Imagine you’re born and you’re this

Imagine looking like a demonstration of magnets with iron shavings
Ever see the underside of these on a fishtank side?
I did once at a fish pet store.
I remember it looking like a hundred tiny suction cups.
But I can’t seem to find a good photo. This was the best I could find. Check out a real one if you get a chance.

I’d name them Fluffles
Latchkum!
I wouldn’t know anything else so I wouldn’t care.
Imagine you’re the first person to actually get reincarnated, and you return as this with all knowledge of your previous life.
pure fucking bliss
Meaning that I just need to chill and feed from particles from the water instead of having to slave myself off for wage so a billionaire could dream of going Mars while trying to destroy the very planet we currently live. Don’t know what to think, but in Spike’s place I’d think that we actually need to do is a revolution!
You have no fear. There’d be no point to it. All your defenses are passive. Fear is meant to inspire sudden action. You’re incapable of that, so your kind discarded that emotion millennia ago.
While holding an exquisite level of peace in your tiny mind, a fisherman plucks you out of the water so some rich dude can eat your gonads.
Wait is that all I needed to do to get some rich dude to eat part of my gonad collection?
Wait… Part?
Does it have to get up after four hours sleep to work all day and go to IKEA at the weekend or does it just mess around it’s whole life in a warm ocean eating seafood and thinking gentle echinoid thoughts.
More like I must consume everything thoughts
Until it gets torn apart and eaten alive by something else, literally dying by getting chewed to death - pretty much the way of nature.
That nature thing sounds bad. Can we get rid of it?
In the end the world chews us all up and we die screaming and alone in our heads. Have a nice Sunday evening.
Oh I won’t be alone. My farts got the police called on me when I was alive how bad do you think they will be when I die

Noo😨
I’ll do you one better:
Imagine you’re born and you’re a crab who parasitizes the rectum of one of these.
Wait this is important I am not a carb biologism but I would like to successfully imitate one someday. Which of the five crab families is this one from
Imagine you’re a human who pays top dollar to consume its gonads.
ahem
I could go look this up, but frankly, it’s your job now: elaborate, please.
I’ll be honest, I like it. It has a soft texture, nice mild buttery flavour, and can be incorporated into various dishes though is commonly eaten on its own as sashimi.
Yep, I love it too.
(I really miss living near Little Tokyo)
That’s a good idea, thanks dude. I am going shopping at ours next week
Excellent!
The Japanese delicacy “uni” is urchin gonads
there are some scifi biological spaceships, they look cool and amazing.
but using then is akin to being those rectal parasites.
Gives a whole new meaning to the expression ‘eat shit’
Isn’t that just the original meaning?
Damn it, I mean… I guess you’re probably right lol, but I felt like I was being clever there for a few minutes :'-/
Apparantly these are a local delicatesse in some regions…
So we caught one with the mindset to see if we could barbecue it and when we placed it on the table it started to move and wiggle its needles.
We originally thought it was similar to fungi, technically not plant but pretty much a plant… we quickly brought it back to the ocean.
Yeah I am told urchin (that’s what we’re looking at, right?) is delicious. Still haven’t eaten one, so I can’t die yet (got a life goal to eat one of everything and climb to the literal top of the food chain. When I go, I plan to be composted so they can grow beans out of me or something and then whoever eats my beans becomes the top of the food chain by transitive property of having technically eaten me, who ate one of everything and you are what you eat so by eating beans made out of me look I’ve given this a fair amount of thought and usually people just smile and nod to get me to shut up about cannibalbeanism trust me it works)
Envy is a sin dude! Who wouldn’t want to look this metal and NOT pay rent?
You can do both today
Oh, that’s kiki
Definitely not bouba
I’m unintentionally the social version of that
