You probably will hate to learn this, but you have hundreds of tiny mites living on and in your skin right now. ;) They're called Demodex mites, and they mostly hang out in your hair follicles and eat the dead skin and oil that your skin produces. For the vast majority of people the mites cause no harm; they're actually useful as they help keep your skin clean. But a small minority unfortunately do develop allergies to the mites (or more accurately, their feces).

Looks like I picked the wrong video to watch over lunch. "Oooh! A video about shrimp, that should go well with my fish chowder! What better to--oh dear god what are they EATING?!?!"

Ah yes lol I bought some shrimp to help clean up uneaten fish food and waste in my aquariums. That gave me a good idea where this video was going to take us 😂

11:37 this gave me some excisential dread on a level I didn’t think I could have. Like not only are they stuck in one spot forever, they don’t even know what all exists out there and just… live the rest of their lives in the same foot area until they die.

Ze always merges (marries?) learning, hilarity and anxiety in the most skillful way and I’m here for it every time. And I am very glad I am not a water-living creature. Though I know that after that bit about “cuppa tea” (😁🤣😎) I’m going to be obsessing over one of my favorite quips from one of my favorite shows for a while: in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when Spike snarks at Giles “Did your life flash before your eyes? Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost got shagged, cuppa tea?” Because that just hits different now…😳
