Jellyfish are creepy and gross, they're like living sea mushrooms.

Mushrooms are creepy and gross too, when you get to know them.

I hate mushrooms with a passion tbh, not just the way they taste, but even seeing them growing in the wild grosses me out. Disgusting things, I'd eat bugs before resorting to eating mushrooms.

Hard disagree on all points.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 6 points 2 days ago

They are creepy and I don't like the taste too, but just know that they are an important part of nature for reasons someone else can explain better

fungi are conceptually lovecraftian horrors but in practice they're basically just strange plants, and i find that neat.

they're basically just strange plants

Actually they're closer to strange animals, which just reinforces just how neat they are!

i know.
The dichotomy is between the knowledge that they're closer to animals than anything else, yet they don't behave anything like animals and they permeate basically every part of the earth.

Permeate basically every part of the earth.

And perhaps beyond!

Nooo they're so cool. I could watch them all day.

Fair enough, they just creep me out for some reason lol.
