Good morning. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿƒ

26 December 2024

Did you ever raise Sea Monkeys? I had some and they didn't look anything like the picture on the advertisements in the comic books I read. Sea Monkeys turned out to be brine shrimp. Hmmm ... they weren't monkeys at all, and they didn't do tricks. It was kind of a big letdown, though I did get to see the little creatures grow. Did you know that Sea Monkeys are still marketed today, some with larger fancier Sea Monkey tanks. I suppose it was okay for a mini science experiment. After the sea monkeys, my dreams of grandeur grew to wanting an ant farm, that didn't come to pass though.

@[email protected] Yes I did. I also had an ant farm when I was a kid. I collected the ants from an anthill in the weeds and soon discovered they were able to escape through the air holes because the ants I collected were smaller than the ones that you could send away for.

So I infested the house with ants... My mom and dad were very pleased with me.

When I think back on the Ant Farm, infestation seems like a logical occurrence. Perhaps your experience was not unique. ๐Ÿ˜‚

South Park did a great episode on this topic!

Hmmm ... I've never watched South Park, though I know of it. I think it is/was kind of a generational thing.

They grew and evolved and eventually bombed each other into oblivion...quite a metaphor!

@[email protected] I was taken by the lore of the sea monkey but it taught me a good lesson about being an American - watch out for fibbers.
