I’m happy you’re here. I’m new-ish to Lemmy too, but I’m pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they’re absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.

I thought about the rust too. Wouldn’t that mean their bite could give you tetanus on top of the hellish bacterial cocktail they have in their saliva?

And bloodworms have copper teeth! I guess they get it from the sediments they live in. That blew my mind, so finding this out about reptiles is so wild.

I love Abzû! It truly is a beautiful piece of art.

I think your shock and confusion is 100% valid. The whole point of trekking out to remote camping spot in a National Forest is usually to get the hell away from other people, is it not? That seems… rude at worst, and ignorant of them at best.

I got you, fam! I would love to be the one breaking my back, sweating in the dirt, and fighting the weeds. Especially if someone else is handling the toilets. From my point of view, the thing we seem to be missing the most in society today is a sense of real purpose. I think I could absolutely find that through working a community-sustaining garden.

One of my absolute favorites!
