    Since corona I know that in the event of a zombie pandemic people would knowingly spread that shit just to own the libs.

    I find it fascinating that a fungus can take over an ant and use it’s body to climb up on grass to get eaten. i wonder how the lived experience of that fungus changes over it’s phases; does he get vision when controlling the ant? how does it feel to suddendly have legs when you are a fungus?

      I’m no fun-guy, but I don’t think it works that way. When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels. I imagine a zombie fungus driving an ant is akin to a person riding a Silt Strider in Morrowind—a body horror vehicular experience.

        Not the kinda cars I drive, man.

    Nice meme and all but this sort of thing is happening in nature all the time. Amber can get eroded or crushed and will set things free that were trapped in there for a very long time.
