Thirty years ago was 1994. I was nine and had a diagnosis for ADD (what is now ADHD) and a prescription for ritalin. There were three kids in my homeroom with peanut or other food allergies, including my shellfish allergy. The WHO was three years away from its much maligned obesity definition.

Also there was a time in the not so distant past when one could afford to buy a home without being anything remotely close to rich?? Of course my payments went from a relatively comfortable $900+ to like $2100 because insurance and property taxes went up, so how long will I be an owner, but🀷

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

All male jumping spiders have chonky palps, compared to their female counterparts (except for Sarinda hentzi, and maybe a few others I don't know about). The colors and patterns are often different too but that varies by species of course

Dear invert sky, can anyone tell me anything about this critter? Fathomverse has identified it as a bivalve, but I don't know if it actually is, since their IDs are crowdsourced. Does it even have a shell? Or are those bryozoans growing on one of those tunicates/sea slugs with the weird fake mouth?
