If I had a diner, the coffee would be 50¢ a cup. Just 50¢. Always 50¢, price never changes, it’s like the Costco hotdog. But the coffee is bad. Really bad, so bad, lukewarm, watery, medium roast SWILL. But it’s so cheap you feel like you want to finish your cup and buy another because wow, it’s so affordable. You drive by and you think ‘Hey, that’s the place with the cheap coffee, I need to go back there.’ having totally forgotten the coffee is bad, you fall for it again. Why would I do this? Because I’m evil.

Taco night
(alt: Video render of Isoxys minor, Middle cambrian bivalved arthropods shown here in orange with a dark aquarium background
Isoxys has a taco shaped carapace enveloping it's entire body like a copepod, the open part of the 'taco' pointing down, its segmented body is completely hidden inside the 'taco' with tiny swimming legs reminiscent of those found in Triops, barely visible poking out of it. and two front appendages that look somewhat like an anomalocaris' claws but pointing up although they are not closely related to anomalocaris. It also has two eyes visible on the front, poking out of the carapace
Tl;Dr a swimming taco with segmented 'tusks' on the front and shrimp like legs poking out the bottom.
The video depicts them flitting around the aquarium from a close-up view with a short focus distance since they are typically only 1 cm long)

Yellowjacket-Mimicking Moth: this is just a harmless moth that mimics the appearance and behavior of a yellowjacket/wasp; its disguise is so convincing that it can even fool actual wasps
This species of moth (Myrmecopsis polistes) is one of the most impressive wasp-mimics in the world. The moth's narrow waist, teardrop-shaped abdomen, black-and-yellow patterning, transparent wings, smooth appearance, and folded wing position all mimic the features of a wasp. Unlike an actual wasp, however, it does not have any mandibles or biting/chewing mouthparts, because it's equipped with a proboscis instead, and it has noticeably "feathery" antennae.
There are many moths that use hymenopteran mimicry (the mimicry of bees, wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, and/or bumblebees, in particular) as a way to deter predators, and those mimics are often incredibly convincing. Myrmecopsis polistes is one of the best examples, but there are several other moths that have also mastered this form of mimicry.

These disguises often involve more than just a physical resemblance; in many cases, the moths also engage in behavioral and/or acoustic mimicry, meaning that they can mimic the sounds and behaviors of their hymenopteran models. In some cases, the resemblance is so convincing that it even fools actual wasps/yellowjackets.
Above: Pseudosphex laticincta
Such a detailed and intricate disguise is unusual even among mimics. Researchers believe that it developed partly as a way for the moth to trick actual wasps into treating it like one of their own. Wasps frequently prey upon moths, but they are innately non-aggressive toward their own fellow nest-mates, which are identified by sight -- so if the moth can convincingly impersonate one of those nest-mates, then it can avoid being eaten by wasps.

I gave an overview of the moths that mimic bees, wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, and bumblebees in one of my previous posts, but I felt that these two species (Myrmecopsis polistes and Pseudosphex laticincta) deserved to have their own dedicated post, because these are two of the most convincing mimics I have ever seen.
Above: Pseudosphex sp.
I think that moths in general are probably the most talented mimics in the natural world. They have so many intricate, unique disguises, and they often combine visual, behavioral, and acoustic forms of mimicry in order to produce an uncanny resemblance. Moths are just so much more interesting than people generally realize.

I went to the forest that makes you have multiple pronouns and accidentally touched some poison ivy there
now I'm it/she
OH COME THE FUCK ON
sorry bro I didn't hear your bit I got a little distracted reflecting upon my inadequacies
i said bawk tuah. like if she was a chicken
puts my elbows out like wings
oh yeah. that's pretty funny. sorry im just thinking about other shit
cluck on that thangg
psychiatry likers will be like im so glad to finally have an explanation :) and the explanation in question is oh yes you have symptoms disorder, the disorder that causes symptoms, which we know because you presented with symptoms, a sign of the disorder
saw an absolutely hilarious animal crossing theory that i now 100% accept and it’s that in the animal crossing world, humans are going extinct, and so all the animals have locked you in an elaborate zoo enclosure and are trying to give you enrichment. and that’s why they give you infinite pointless tasks, hide money in trees and rocks, invented debt that doesnt matter etc. it’s why they always act so happy to see you even after you raze the entire island, relocate their houses twice, and always act so pleased about your choices no matter what. it’s all to keep their little endangered human healthy and enriched. and thinking of it this way has genuinely improved my experience of the game
"Pandemonium" always seemed excessive to me. Like. All of them?
