Me, having a dream in middle school.

Shit, at 54 I still have that dream. Not embarrassed, more like, "How the hell am I in this situation naked? And no one is even noticing!"

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right. But what is new to me is that they apparently molt only halfway?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

you can clearly see a colour difference halfway, so presumably they just shed the other half a bit later, maybe they go rub their butt against something until it comes off

Nothing wrong with being a nerd.
