I hope it’s the less controlling kind of cult.

I realize the competition is fierce but I don’t think turtles/tortoises get enough consideration as contenders for the cutest babies in the animal kingdom
Ancom: I want to eradicate genders!
Blueman: I am surprised you’ve chan-
Ancom: Oh.
Blueman: Oh.
The thing i love about slovak (and other slavic languages) is how they already have the "(derogatory)" and "(affectionate)" function already built in. Example:
Had - snake
Hadík - snake (affectionate)
Hadisko - snake (derogatory)
Like yes!!!!! Amazing function thank you!!!!
(these thing refer to size also, but it depends on the context imo)
Hadislav - a very respectable snake
Hádek - a snake-actor
Hadíček - snake (very good boy)
There is also plenty of affixes for this and you can play around with them! Example:
Haďátko – doesn't sound quite right as a diminutive but absolutely carries over that this specific snake is just the cutest little baby that can do no wrong
holy SHIT please read the whole thread and many more of these images right here, this artist put together an updated Opabinia reconstruction where every single one of these minute details (except coloration, obviously) are fully sourced making this most likely the first depiction factoring in 100% of current knowledge about it.
Even I didn’t know it had little feet like a velvet worm and could have walked around on them! I never knew exactly how the trunk is oriented or how many “teeth” it is! I especially didn’t know the mouth was that weird!
And I kind of assumed this since it’s a lobopod and all, but the whole animal was soft and squishy except for the eyes and the teeth. It did not have armor plates or a jointed exoskeleton like a lot of people portray. This also means all five of the eyes would have been able to bend and look around independently!
The eye structure in fossils also indicates that they would have PSEUDOPUPILS! That’s the pupil-like dot in the eyes of insects like mantises!
