Jeweled lacerta my beloved

All Yesterdays is the first one that comes to mind

If it makes it any better, it would be a sort of small crocodile, at “only” 8 feet (2.6 meters ish ish) long.

Probably not, since there has to be some processing of the noise to identify what it is. TheBackyardScientist did a video somewhat similar to that, here: https://piped.video/watch?v=4WSQqDHK1Yw

That is a really bold opinion, and honestly I don’t disagree.

No worries, I probably could have worded it better anyways

That is what I meant. With desktops that are short side down, the motherboard side with the CPU socket, PCIe slots, etc. should be considered as upwards

If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.

Titanfall 2 is fun! I did the singleplayer in about 6 to 7 hours.

There is the factory seconds stock, which is cheaper, but RAM, storage, Wi-Fi card, power brick and expansion cards are sold separately. https://frame.work/products/factory-seconds-framework-laptop-13-diy-edition-11th-gen-intel-core Still over your price range though.

Probably too different, as snails are benthic, while ammonites where probably nektonic.

Iirc the shells being longer is something about allowing gases in the shell to compress or expand as needed to control bouyancy. I would imagine there is a sac of gas, and the ammonites would siphon water in or out as needed to compress or decompress the gas.

Edit: just looked it up on Wikipedia, it appears the heteromorph ammonites are thought to have maybe been planktonic or benthic.

Definitions for non-nerds:

Benthic means living on or near the sea floor.

Nektonic means free swimming

Planktonic means going with the current as plankton. I should note plankton aren’t all tiny, some are visibile to the naked eye. All it means is unable to propel themselves against current.

In my history of life class I was tought it was to do with controlling buoyancy, although all the variation seems odd for that.

Maybe a combination of controlling buoyancy with species identification?

I was wondering where the dankpods would be

Iirc it was the mobile browser not blocking Microsoft trackers. Lemme check

Edit: can confirm, it was not blocking MS trackers, seems to have been due to legal terms. Link: https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/05/duckduckgo-microsoft-tracking-scripts/

In my eyes that makes it even worse

I’m not an ichtyologist, but iirc most fish can breath without moving. Some sharks must move to breath, but plenty of them don’t have to, i.e. the wobbegongs

Another app is LibreTube, although it uses piped, which I kinda dislike as it means (depending on the instance you connect to) videos load slower and the subscriptions don’t all get refreshed.

I know there is a toggle for disabling piped, but the subscription issue doesn’t seem to get affected.

Wait, lemmy allows editing of titles?

Not all fish can breath underwater interestingly enough, meaning if they can’t reach air they will drown. The first example that comes to mind are lungfish, but there are others, such as arapima. I think bettas also are obligate air breathers, but I might be misremembering.
