We're not leaving this gem to languish in the comments:
according to An Immense World, apparently giant squid eyes are, like, UNREASONABLY large, even for something their size living at those depths. the next largest eyes on earth, blue whale eyes, are less than half the size, and swordfish, who live at similar depths as giant squid and have the largest eyes of any fish, have eyes that could fit inside a giant squid's pupil.
eyes hit serious diminishing returns wrt resource costs vs vision quality as they get bigger, so the question became: what the FUCK do giant (and colossal) squid need to see so badly that they couldn't see with swordfish-sized eyes that's justifying that massive energy cost? that nothing else in the deep ocean needs to see so fucking badly??
turns out the one strength eyes that big really have over much smaller eyes is: seeing large glowing objects in water deeper than 500 meters from an appreciable distance.
sperm whales are the primary predator of giant squid. sperm whales don't glow. BUT! water that deep is full of bioluminescent creatures-- these creatures light up when bumped into. something a sperm whale's size is continuously bumping into those critters, it's just surrounded by a glowing field all the time when it's swimming at those depths, visible from a distance-- if you have the right eyes-- as a massive glowing shape. so basically the only reason to have eyes the size of soccer balls is if you live in the deep ocean and your life depends on having a heads up when a hungry sperm whale lurking around
and also I gotta say, the imagery... the huge lurking threat betrayed only by the ambiguous glowing shape of its movements through the water, is really evocative, if spooky deep-sea games aren't already using that to make things extremely ominous then they should really start

This is.....niche. Do period-appropriate chickens even still exist? Idk anything about chickens. I like the fancy ones.
Period appropriate chickens ("heritage breeds") do still exist, and even include some very fancy ladies, such as:
The Brahma, a popular giant known for its massive meat production and comically large eggs.
The cochin, seen here with gold and black 'lace' pattern
The barred plymouth, an incredible forager for lightly wooded terrain
The fayoumi, often regarded as The Oldest Breed of chicken
The wyandotte, a particularly good forager as well as a bulky, meaty bird.
The Minorca, a Spanish bird with stunning black feathers
And of course, the famous indonesian ayam cemani, which has black meat and bones
Old timey chickens often ARE the 'fancy' ones!
I love this incredibly niche complaint! Get some heritage breeds, they do totally still exist. Same could likely be said about some other animals like pigs, sheep, and cows.

I'm not sure if "defect" is the right word. It is living it's life as a pillow. That's like, the dream.
Edit: After a little digging I believe that this species of starfish has a mutation that sometimes occurs, here's a different photo and "biscuit starfish" individual:

that's not his name!!
Incredible edit and draws attention to something I missed the first time I watched Psych. After a few ridiculous names, Gus tells Shawn he wants approval ahead of time. We never see it, but there must have been an off camera scene when they brainstormed and approved a list, which Shawn (naturally) memorized so he can choose one that best fits any given situation. You can see that Gus has also prepared corresponding taglines or gestures. They clearly spent time on this.
The moral here of course is that no matter how much Gus complains, he is 100% on board the Shawn Spencer crazy train - he just wants equal time on the whistle.
i love when people on the internet get denied stuff and you find the most innovative minds of the generation dedicated to making goddamn sure other people get what they want come hell or high water
Okay but I get this. All of you worms who have things blocked on your wifi or whatever and have IbisPaint this is how you do it
Open IbisPaint go to a canvas (any canvas, or make. a new one)
Select the font tool (if you don’t know what or where that is, press the tool icon (normally a paint brush or eraser) and press the T button
From there you should be able to create a text box (writing is not important…). Find the font button and add a new font. I can’t remember what it’s called but you’ll know when you see it
It’ll automatically search for you “free fonts.” Do not follow this. Your app is misdirecting you. Instead search up whatever it is you’re looking for in the search bar, and that should work
Knowledge should not be trapped behind bars, bend and break them until you can grasp it
everyone eat more vegetables NOW!!! and mention the last vegetable you ate in the tags so we're all on the buddy system. I'll start: bok choy

tom nook is NOT a landlord!!! he is a construction worker! he SELLS you a WHOLE HOUSE! He is not CHARGING YOU however many bells a month to live there! You PURCHASE a HOME that he BUILDS FOR YOU and then you PAY HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. He charges no interest he sets no time limit it is a relationship built on trust. the only penalty you get for not paying off your home is that he won't build more home until you pay him for the first one. A guy that builds you a house wherever you want him to and then charges you for the cost of construction is not a landlord you own the fucking home
He is, however, in the mafia
