mx krow u seem to kno many things about many subjects, all of them v cool. I want to pick apart your brain and study u. but I will not because that is not nice to do to friends. can you please imprint some random facts u know upon me instead please.
pick apart my brain all u want there isnt a lot up there!!!! here r some fun facts for u
- the deepest part in the ocean is called the challenger deep and is 10924 meters down!!! two guys went there once it took like four hours and was fucking terrifying 
- morels are a type of mushroom that ppl have yet to figure out how to cultivate which is why theyre so expensive! you can find them most commonly under elm trees in mid april (right now!) and they look WEIRD like little porous cones (false morels look more like brains-- dont look up either if trypophobic!)
- roly polies have blood thats blue when oxidized!! this is bc they have hemocyanin which contains copper instead of hemoglobin which contains iron (what we have). they also sometimes turn a pretty blue color when they get sick!
- millipedes were one of the very first creatures to go on land!
- whales and dolphins breathe air bc they evolved to go on land but then went back to water for some reason!!
- the oarfish is the longest bony fish clocking in at 26 ft long (8 meters)!! they live in the deep sea and are seen as omens of tsunamis or earthquakes if they surface. they taste very gelatinous!
- not rlly a fact but heres a website where u can scroll thru the ocean it made me cry once :]
- there are no lightning bugs on the west coast!!!! i found this one out when my grandma came to visit and spent the whole time marveling abt the lightning bugs and i jokingly asked ‘what, do they not have them on the west coast?’ and she was like ‘no lol’
:] have a good day bug
