You do realize that to maintain the natural balance there need to be billions of bacteriagirls for every beaver girl

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

'Cause we are living in a microscopic world

And I am a bacterial girl

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hate that I heard that in my head to barbie girl...

Nope, barbie girl by aqua. If you're lucky enough to have never heard it don't look it up, you'll never un-hear it.

Yep, instant recall of... apparently a core memory.

You can touch my hair, undress me everywhere~!

Come on Barbie lets go party.

I wanted to attempt to somehow rewrite it to be bacterial themed, but ... I don't know enough microbial vocab, and every bit I do know has way too many syllables.

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Somebody else got the bacteria translation, check the replies.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Am bacteria girl
In bacteria wo-orld
Life micros-copic
It's fantastic

You see me in hair.
And find me every-where.
With mutation, life is mine formation.

The word barbie rhymes with bacteria in Turkish btw.
Don't read last part as song in your head.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

missed opportunity to rhyme micro-plastics with fantastic

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 1 week ago

Welp that's a week long earworm....

Nicely done BTW.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gendering bacteria is a bit difficult though.

I mean, its all perfomative at that point, right?

Unless there is some lore I am unaware of... isn't a slimegirl basically a Ditto?

More transhuman than transgender at that point.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 week ago (2 children)

don't let your cat girls outside, they tear up the local ecosystem

Maybe if the ecosystem didn't want to be torn up it shouldn't have been so tear-upable :3

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is this an euphemism for lesbians?

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I was playing Elden Ring I said the same thing about "finger maiden"

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

great chest ahead

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

No, just those that go au naturale

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Crab girl (tastes like crab, looks like girl) and lizard woman (one of our reptilian overlords), here to take over the world.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Now that's a superheroine duo I'd want to read/watch

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm absolutely rolling at, "Tastes like crab, looks like girl."

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

well, I'm doing my part by feeding the roving hoarde of feral catgirls that show up every couple of nights.

oddly, they ... don't seem to really go for normal cat food.

I've found that a crushed up mix of ramen packets and pocky works well, mix it with either tuna or chicken.

Also, they scream at me now if I just give them water... I gave them some boba tea once, and now it seems to be a requirement, they'll start clawing each other if it isn't present.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 14 points 1 week ago

I know precisely one beaver furry and they are more girl-ish than girl. XD

[–] jouhija@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Aren't all girls beaver girls?

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

smells like seven layers

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does being the mod of the beaver community count? I guess I’m a beaver girl.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)
[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Omg, I would so wear that.

[–] tyr0sine@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

The illustrious Beaver Queen from that year's contest was named Jeannie Tailia. 😆

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 12 points 1 week ago

So, Canadian chicks?

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

"Ay gurl, are you a centipede? Coz those legs don't quit!"

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about the vulture girls?

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Something something....my ex girlfriend.....blah blah blah.

Now nobody has to make that joke.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Thank you for your sacrifice.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Beaver girls twerk, and suddenly - dam!

[–] Batman@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

There are two inside you.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Awwww dam, I'll be your birch tree

The ecosystem is so hollowed out that higher-up the foodchain species like beaver have a tougher time feeding themselves, while lower-down species have to re-populate an underpopulated environment. of course you'd rather be a mouse than a beaver in these days.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Had to look up riparian. Learned something today. Though I think I knew that at one time then forgot it :(
