Is that picture a meme of something?

My favorite shrimp [1] are Mantis Shrimp. Literally a real-life version of One Punch Man.

Not too dissimilar from their abovewater brethen… but also unique in their own ways.

It probably won’t have that much for a good while… if ever again.

These guys are the perfect food for shrimp. They’re called brine shrimp (shrimp cannibalism?), but you likely know them as sea monkeys. Questions is, would you eat a cereal bowl of them?

No, why would I do that? That’d also probably be somewhat expensive.

It looks too cute to eat! :smiling_face:

I can guess it looks cute because it has relatively large eyes…

You need to add the signature white “D” on it, and make the eyes red.

Might aswell make the anomalocaris a sapient from some of doom’s pfps.
