  • It probably says something about me that my first thought, even before reading the article, was, “Is it edible?”

    Though, to kill my own joke, that first thought wasn’t actually about eating the thing itself, more wondering if it ruined the ‘crop’. (The answer is “No, it just causes more work for the farmers.” Edit: And also the extra weight is causing stress to their equipment.) It was my second thought to wonder whether we could eat the thing itself. And…

    Tunicates are a sack full of organs and water

    …possibly, but I don’t think anyone would want to.


  • Same here; I change my mind about upvotes/downvotes all the time (especially since I have the terrible habit of voting while I’m still reading the comment), but the ones I’ve done that for are still there. Heck, the first couple I see when I look at my profile are ones I did that for. Read half the comment, upvoted out of the corner of my eye while I was still reading, read the second half, went “Hoo boy, nevermind,” and un-voted.

    Related to that, upvotes/downvotes being public is a dealbreaker for me. I don’t feel safe upvoting or downvoting anything here unless it’s completely uncontroversial, because I don’t want to open myself up to harassment by people who disagree.

    I’ll hang around for a bit to see if that changes, but I’m very unlikely to stick around if it doesn’t.
