Friend shaped murder floofs

Nature's cruel joke on us

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Clearly, nature didn't invent cute on behalf of our species. Maybe ants? They're pretty much everywhere too, so they get to see lots of cute animals.

But not where the murder floofs are.

Short visits?

I don't know about ants, there's only like 15k species of ants

Beetles though, there's like 350k species of beetles. They're everywhere and with so many different kinds they get all the opportunities to see cute things.

Isn't there an adaptation for some organisms that's basically, "im just a fren c'mere and give me a pat" and then you help them the most by feeding them and they always remember you fondly as, "mmmmm good nom"?

You can always return their armor to them...

Yeah pretty much, when polars are hungry there's no hope if youve not a high powered rifle, but when they're not, and especially if they're in an certain mood that accompanies certain events, you might end up their friend.
