The OP said “get airborne”. Controlled flight was not part of the discussion.

I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.

Really nice one. I am now running that as my wallpaper.

Nah, but when an older, more experienced person empathically tells you that your idea is shit you might abandon it. After all when you try to keep an open mind and consider criticism of your ideas you are vulnerable to this kind of attack. Especially if you are low on self confidence.

Looks like some kind of intrusion of magma (the pale rock) into the darker rock. you can see how all the veins seem to originate from the pale rock, also the broken-of dark part in the pale rock seems to indicate it, could be part of the original rock, that surrounded the magma, before breaking of.

Some actual geologist might want to give their opinion though. I only had like two years of geology at university before shifting my studies toward crystallography and crystal growth.

WTF is helix?

The one in the middle is called M. Rover.

And then there is NileRed, who does lick the chemistry He does.

Dont forget the draft

I love “courageously providing valuable input”. We all can imagine how the process worked.

Might be a bit of a stupid question, but are those fruits eddible?
