I had an idea for a non-LAWK organelle: audioplast. It utilizes sound energy for metabolism. How? I have no idea.

sound energy is vibrations, heat is also vibrations, so it’s probably possible to harvest the energy, but it will be even more difficult than a thermoplast

@RoboTrannic now really why do you have an ahegao furry deer as your avatar?

No one knows

When someone asked him why he had an NSFW pf he said that you didn’t actually see anything, and then that was it

Oooo interesting…

One of the many mysteries of the Thrive Community Forum…

I dont know im not on it.

SimEarth and SimLife and be played for free on the internet! I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow. The links are at the bottoms of their Wikipedia pages.

I just found Evolution: The Game of Intelligent Life on Myabandonware. Yippee! Even though these games are from the nineties, no other game has done what they did. Not as well, anyway. Maybe Thrive will be the true successor to these classics.

"Other examples of animal adaptability are found in three yet nameless species of loriciferans in the genera Pliciloricus, Spinoloricus and Rugiloricus, discovered in the Mediterranean: they’re the only known animals that don’t breathe oxygen. Their cells lack mitochondria, but have instead hydrogenosomes, which produce energy by oxidising hydrogen. "

Fascinating!

They are what the chemosynthesiser is based on

You could think of humans as pseudo-marsupials, because humans are born extremely underdeveloped and require many years (~20) to finish development.

i don’t think that’s a fair analogy. there are many other animal species which exhibit altriciality (the underdevelopment of newly born young). Some of these species are arguably less developed than humans when born (although nearly all of them develop after birth at a far faster rate. )

We’re also missing the pouch

Though they would probably be really useful

This is not the place for political discussions.
