  1. ABC News @ABC: Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country. [With a picture of a brown stick insect among some green leaves.]
  2. mary @theoceanblooms: can I ask a question: how does something like this go undiscovered until now
  3. soul nate @MNateShyamalan: Entomologist here ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿœ Great question! It may seem surprising that the scientific community could miss an entire bug species after all this time, especially when it's THIS big. The answer might surprise you more ๐Ÿ‘€ Let's dive in ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿงต (1/?)

Last time this meme came up I had the perfectly worded Disco Elysium quote ready, but I've forgotten it. So just pretend I said it right now.

Wow. That was perfect. I'm a better man for the timing of that quote

I almost became a better man for it but then I found drugs

I keep hearing about the game but your quote finally convinced me to find the time and play through it myself.

You won't regret it! The game really is a singular experience.

I am a relatively median lifeform, while you are extreme, all-engulfing madness. A volatile simian nervous system, ominously new to the planet.
