I welcome our new slime mold overlords.
-
They do seem smart when they solve mazes and such. I had colleagues who were studying these organisms for robotics research. One of the slime molds was named Bob the Blob and having met him I can confirm he was a slimy blob! Almost cute in its own way.
-
I absolutely love the personal touch Tasha's videos have developed. She created a nice niche for herself on one of YouTube's best channels.

200 million years later Slithersucker: Ah, college days were the best.

Slime mold at the lab: "Life is hard, but conveniently predictable."
-
You see now if someone calls you a Slime Ball, take it as a compliment.
-
Wow, I've known about Slime Molds for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever heard that they're actually Amoebas. You learn something new even when watching videos on subjects you've heard and watched many times already.
-
Once they are able to communicate with Orcas, it’s over for us
-
Slime mold: like that uniquely cool kid you want to hang out with but your other friends just think is "weird"...
-
Slime molds are jerks. They killed my shiitake mycelium pile.
-
I love these slime molds... They are beyond fascinating and they really challenge our conceptualization of intelligence.
-
Love that Ze Frank joke at the end.
-
Venom got that adrenaline momentum
-
Had a colony of these peeps pop up a few days ago. They had the most vibrant yellow.
-
The cat is so cute!
-
I wonder if Slime Molds could be used as organic tissue in a robot.
-
LOL I play "om-noms" with my Chihuahua.😂
-
Amoebas dont have cell walls. They may have shells like testate amoeba, but not cell walls. Slime molds don't have cell walls, their spores do. Correct me if I'm wrong.
-
Aww such a cute kitty 🐈😊

I wrote a character once as a kid who had a symbiotic relationship with an otherwise parasitic slime mold. And now witching this I'm realizing a lot of the intelligence I gave it is a lot closer to reality that 13 year old me could have realized.
