CreamyJalapenoSauce@piefed.social on 22 Sep 22:20 next collapse

They’ve shrunk since they’ve returned from the Dark Bramble

Contramuffin@lemmy.world on 22 Sep 22:33 next collapse

Or maybe Hearthians are just small. Would make sense why gravity is so weak

Maybe this is the one they put in the museum

xylol@leminal.space on 22 Sep 23:25 next collapse

Maybe they expand under pressure

It’s frustrating that this misleading image is making its rounds on Lemmy now.
