like if you took generations to breed a huge plasmid or maybe invented an embiggening ray and blasted it upon some fuckin, Tardigrades or some bullshit. just got yourself a macroscopic water bear the size of an entire couch. here's a fun article to get this conversation started. listen to this poo poo: quote:Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic superstars inside a drop of water. These tiny transparent animals—which can be found all over the world (even Antarctica!)—are masters of survival and reproduction. When water becomes scarce, they dry up like brine shrimp, surviving for years completely desiccated. When water returns, they rehydrate themselves and continue on as good as new. Rotifers are all female and reproduce asexually, laying eggs that don't need to be fertilized and are essentially clones of themselves. anyway enjoy this thread which is 100% original and not a pastiche at all.
