@Lady @aescling yeah a ‘some say x, some say y’ type phrasing would have made a clearer signal of ‘mysterious but frightening’

@Lady @aescling generally in my experience when theres a lot of rumors about something some of those rumors will contradict eachother

@platypus what was in it?

@Lady @aescling yeah that does seem to be what's happening here

@glitternoodle @bgcarlisle @ghost_bird I feel like we've made a lot of progress towards understanding Dune ecology here today, round of applause everyone

@Lady @aescling ah yes the US's declaration of independence and the UN's declaration of human rights, two famously marxist documents

@aescling wait are they quoting the constitution and calling it marxism

@bgcarlisle @ghost_bird that sure would be a sight

@ghost_bird @bgcarlisle i’m trying to figure out the logistics of eating sand plankton

Like whales, they just take all the solid stuff out of the water. But sand is also a solid stuff so you’d need a much more refined sorting method. Maybe they’re different densities??????

@Lady yeah that was the point i was trying to make — if they conceptualize it as self injury than they should answer yes, it they just want a tattoo they should say no
