#Yames level body horror shit

[laur-rants]

It's 4am and I just woke up from a scary looping dream about how a cyborg race takes us over and decides we all need to die, but instead of just watching silly comfort videos to put me to sleep I instead chose to read about the insanity that is barnacles which of course led me to parasitic barnacles and of course that led me to learning about the crab hacker barnacle and how it's just a collection of tendrils inside of a crab body with a reproduction organ on the outside and the males are just a collection of sperm creation cells in the sac and what freaks me out is that this thing is basically a crustacean that's turned itself into a horrifying fungus and I feel like this is forbidden knowledge and that my life is forever changed for having learned or knowing it.

Anyway my attempts at going back to sleep are going great and I am not at all learning of what probably inspires Yames to make his video games and haha also barnacle geese are called that because idiots in the old UK thought they were born from the goose barnacle (no relation).

What even are barnacles????? We just don't know.

#Barnacles #About me #laur is a weenie #Seriously this shit is wild #Yames level body horror shit #People think cordyceps is scary? #Try the fact that males of this species are literally just #Sperm creation cells #The most simplified and derived males of any animal #Also they cause crab sex change #I couldn't make this shit up if i tried #Cries I'm going to go back to my silly videos now #But my brain chemistry is forever changed #I now know why darwin hates barnacles #Pls send help #This is not a perk of being a marine biologist
