    Ever see the underside of these on a fishtank side?

    I did once at a fish pet store.

    I remember it looking like a hundred tiny suction cups.

    But I can’t seem to find a good photo. This was the best I could find. Check out a real one if you get a chance.

    You have no fear. There’d be no point to it. All your defenses are passive. Fear is meant to inspire sudden action. You’re incapable of that, so your kind discarded that emotion millennia ago.

    While holding an exquisite level of peace in your tiny mind, a fisherman plucks you out of the water so some rich dude can eat your gonads.

    Apparantly these are a local delicatesse in some regions…

    So we caught one with the mindset to see if we could barbecue it and when we placed it on the table it started to move and wiggle its needles.

    We originally thought it was similar to fungi, technically not plant but pretty much a plant… we quickly brought it back to the ocean.

      Yeah I am told urchin (that’s what we’re looking at, right?) is delicious. Still haven’t eaten one, so I can’t die yet (got a life goal to eat one of everything and climb to the literal top of the food chain. When I go, I plan to be composted so they can grow beans out of me or something and then whoever eats my beans becomes the top of the food chain by transitive property of having technically eaten me, who ate one of everything and you are what you eat so by eating beans made out of me look I’ve given this a fair amount of thought and usually people just smile and nod to get me to shut up about cannibalbeanism trust me it works)

          Uni.

          I’ll be honest, I like it. It has a soft texture, nice mild buttery flavour, and can be incorporated into various dishes though is commonly eaten on its own as sashimi.

        Both the urchin and chef literally. We don’t need no cosmic horror stories, all our actions are nullified, and rendered the same. There is no way to escape eternal pain and tragedy.
