I have to restrain myself from doing this with Godzilla or Gundam facts when I’m around normal people. Then people tell me I’m too quiet.
If you want me to talk then talk about one of the like 4 things I’m interested in assholes. /s

You coleopterans come here, talkin’ big about your beetle shapes and species. I’m only interest in biomass, and class Isoptera has that on lock, with roughly 77% of total soil arthropod biomass.

Isopods are cheating. They’re ancient. Colepotera are the new kids on the block with the shiny new sports car wings.

No, what’s cheating is sticking with Insecta. It’s a short walk up and over to get to Crustacea->Copepoda and we can have more biomass than terrestrial life.
