I was served these in the reverse order, followed by this comment and almost lost it 😂

😬 sorry to contribute to your madness, lmao

I feel like using quartz as a gastrolith would be pretty basic, like you might as well eat those silica packets or chew on some glass if you’re going that direction. Some nice gneiss would likely be preferable, much more cultured at least.

Oh my god I forgot about those. I unironically loved them.

My sister in law has a case of these, just chilling in the garage. Never to be eaten.

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world on 06 Jan 03:27 next collapse

There’s no way these wouldn’t be ground up after 500 million years.

Probably like the sand that looks loke amazing snowflakes. The image for that one used selected granules from thousands (billions). Most sand is just ugly, and micro plastics.

Yup, OP text writer has no idea what they're talking about. The organisms that make this sand still exist today and are still making this sand

Perhaps they meant that these organisms are themselves ancient?

Huh… I didn’t think oyster crackers were actually ancient oysters. 🤔

New band Okinawa Boneyard and their thrash metal album Skeleton Beach.

Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk on 06 Jan 10:06 next collapse

Perfection. 10/10, would listen.

Edit to add: Damn, now I really want an Okinawa Boneyard band t-shirt.

LovableSidekick@lemmy.world on 06 Jan 22:47 collapse

I love that one - it’s on their Christmas album!

Deadline, schmedline! I got your deadline right here, pal.
