I was having it guess a few different animals, some aquatic ones, & then I wondered if it could guess that. I misremembered what they look like, & my 20Q handheld didn't get it because I told it the wrong stuff, so we failed together. That got me to look it up.
Did you know these are actually a certain species of brine shrimp? "Sea Monkey" was just a marketing term at its inception.

I was correct that "Sea Monkeys" don't exist, they're #BrineShrimp, and that there was a #con involved.
The "creator" was a #whiteSupremacist who once sold invisible #goldfish...

Gather 'round children and let me tell you about how kids were once convinced that freeze-dried brine shrimp were actually good pets. This grift taught us all a valuable lesson, that you can't even trust the ads in your own comic books. 🤔

This past week I started a #brineshrimp tank. They nominally will serve as a food source for our main fishtank, but also as pets in their own right (in the vein of #seamonkeys). They don't show up on camera yet (they are only a few days old), but there are A LOT, and I only put a fraction of the cysts recommended for a fraction of the water. I'm excited to see how they grow up!

I still feel the disappointment like it was only yesterday 😳. And hey, kids, take it from me—a hard-learned lesson—don’t put your Sea Monkey family in a shallow glass bowl on the radiator 😢
