    It's a shame when you discover a cute movie you enjoyed was rated 1/5 stars.

    There are a lot of cool animals I wish still lived but I'm not sure if any of them count as megafauna.

    I've taken a contract to build an Ike outpost and I've decided to go whole hog and just turn it into a fuel outpost to cut down on future mission costs. Due to a design oversight however I couldn't quite dock with it using my expensive space tug/tanker. At one point I retracted an antenna to get a few extra inches closer.
    ed1ubzsw6f1o.jpg
    Fortunately there was an easy work around, I just detached the front modular attachment which gives me just enough room to dock (the yellow reticle is the docking port location, the matching docking port is on the top pylon of the tug) and I stuck the attachment to the underside of the Ike mission booster so it doesn't float away. Once I get the Ike outpost underway I'm going to find myself a big juicy asteroid now that I'm addicted to cheap fuel.

    I think the most common usage of megafauna is above 40 kg

    since that's a pretty small group, most creatures are p tiny

    There's just something so appealingly FUCK OFF about them.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    And yeah I know the stingray isnt really a predator, but I really think rays are the coolest.

    They feel like fish wearing diving suits, and they nuzzle your hand.

    I mean, I was kinda going to make a crack about them not killing people, but didn't really want to go there what with people feeling shity about the election.
    like the guy got killed by something millions of school children feed and pet every year. God thinks he's funny, what can I say.
