While playing yesterday, I remembered , the animal (though I also remember the web browser). 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 always skeptical about so-called , thinking that they were probably not animals in any way, but just something that would appear to move in water like an animal.

I was correct that "Sea Monkeys" don't exist, they're , and that there was a involved.

The "creator" was a who once sold invisible ...

Every and is a ; their entire is a .

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. ๐Ÿค”

This past week I started a 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 ). 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 ๐Ÿ˜ณ. And hey, kids, take it from meโ€”a hard-learned lessonโ€”donโ€™t put your Sea Monkey family in a shallow glass bowl on the radiator ๐Ÿ˜ข
