My mystery snails are "acrobatic-" they'll climb up along plants or along the glass, then let go and drop back down to the bottom, repeatedly, like a kid at a slide in the playground. They even tend to do it in front of the filter output so they'll go faster. Any clue why they do this?

When you’re just that slow, it’s the easiest shortcut!

Some land slugs will actually descend from a slime strand, like a spider, when they want to get down off a tree

By removing the game’s ability to load certain textures, we can cause Mario’s mustache in Super Paper Mario to not be rendered, allowing us to get a clear view of Mario’s mouth.

worldbuilding prompt: a race of honeybee people who stigmatize the idea of not dying when you sting, like that’s their version of a vampire or witch or werewolf, a horrible unholy bee who stung and kept living

While regular real honeybees don’t always lose their sting, a fantastical bee race might have evolved in such a way that it’s inevitable. A honeybee stinger does already have functions for when this does happen, continuing to pump venom while embedded in a mammal’s flesh.

The bee people could think of their stinger as the seat of their soul, and that they spend their soul to defend their hive in dire enough situations, though maybe they also have an attitude that this must be saved for only the worthiest cause or worthiest opponent. Bees who “waste” their sting might be assumed to have no afterlife, or something.

If, like actual honeybees, the queen has a smooth stinger, it would be thought of as a sort of divinity, but smooth-stinged wasp people might be seen as mockeries of that divinity.

Bonus though if the wasp people are actually really nice, I hate the “wasps are evil” meme
