      Ja und mit den Schnecken verwandt. Eins beherrschten ihre Vorfahren die Meere als Top Predatoren. Damals hatten sie ein spitzes Kalk Gehäuse. Sie sind ja auch mit Muscheln und Schecken verwandt. Ähnlich intelligent wie Primaten. Wenn sie nicht nach der Fortpflanzung sterben würden könnte sie niemand aufhalten weil sie dann immer mehr lernen würden.

      It's mostly terrifying I think. I went to the Outer Banks this year. Scariest experience of my life. It's a place where houses are frequently swept away by the ocean because when it's bad weather there, surprise! You're in the middle of the open ocean. And you didn't even plan to be on a boat today. When that shit happens in the middle of the night? I don't think I can imagine a more frightening scenario than I experienced in this situation.
