Melloona – where things grow a little differently
• ♥ ! • Happy Fantasy Faire • ! ♥ • It’s that time of the year again. Every year I think I know what to expect, and every year it still feels a bit unreal when everything finally comes together. What starts as scattered ideas becomes a world of its own. This year, Luna and I sponsored and built Melloona. Melloona is a quiet, curious realm where the familiar turns gently impossible. Expect wild colors, vines and of course, melons. It doesn’t shout, it hums softly and […]https://alruniaahn.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/melloona-where-things-grow-a-little-differently/

You may thank us ✌️🪱✌️
"Crucially, both field and laboratory data demonstrated a significant reduction in particle size in casts compared to soil (6.48% and 19.8%, respectively), supporting the potential earthworm effects on MP (microplastic) mechanical attrition. Polymer compositions in casts mirrored those in soils, exhibiting a nonselective and passive ingestion pathway. Beyond physical transport, the formation of field biogenic polymer aggregates facilitated chemical aging of MPs, as evidenced by elevated oxidation indices. This process was likely accelerated by the enrichment of plastic-degrading microbial taxa (e.g., Flavobacterium) within casts, which exhibited up to a 35.6-fold increase in relative abundance."

@Vivaldi
Stumbled upon it one day in #Ubuntu's app store's “New and Updated” section. 'Twas actually the #Flatpak version, which doesn't really have the best #images and #description, as it's #unofficial, so I wasn't drawn to it at first, but just kept in my #mind. A few days later, #BraveBrowser started having a lot of #issues (it was my bad, actually, but anyway) and I switched to #MicrosoftEdge for a while. A little time after, I found out about some ugly things M$ does through its #browser, and looked for an #alternative. #Browsers like #Brave were already too #basic for me, after using #Edge, and thus, when I saw #Vivaldi as a powerful alternative, I didn't hesitate a moment and tried it.That's the most #important part of the story, but… there's a second #volume: At first, I was like a #crazy #chicken in front of a pot full of #earthworms, so… I obviously broke the browser in just one, two days. In the meanwhile, I also managed to repair Brave, and I was thinking of leaving V, considering it too #buggy. But luckily, I decided to give it one more chance, this time being more #cautious about #messing up with #settings… and here I am!
You might call me a very #wise person, since I didn't #giveUp immediately, but the #truth is… I was simply #mesmerized by it… :tony_happy:

#Earthworms reveal an #evolutionary mechanism which could defy #Darwin
A comparative #genome study of earthworms and their marine relatives could challenge Darwin’s theory of #evolution by showing that worms colonized land in evolutionary jumps -

"#Earthworms do not have ears, but #Darwin still tested their sense of hearing. He used a metal whistle and had his son play his #bassoon loudly. Darwin even shouted at the #worms" https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/22-charles-darwin-and-earthworms

The theme today is #soft for #mARTch, #makersMARTch and #ArtYear. Well, #earthworms are soft, and here is a #watercolor illustration I made last year of a #Nasca earthworm.

Attempting an AI experiment in back yard...
Can't afford a high-end GPU, so I am going to instead use a few hundred Lumbricus terrestris processors in parallel.
The text training data will be distributed evenly, available in a common pool for CPU consumption, preprocessed with a crosscut hash function.
No idea yet how to input queries!
Or produce inference output!
WormAI might only be good at generating fake 20yr old paperwork?

The #animals that give each other gifts https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20241223-christmas-animals-that-give-gifts
"Nuptial gift giving – when the male presents the female with a nutritious morsel during courtship and mating – has been noted in species as diverse as #snails, #earthworms & #squid. #Birds have been known to enjoy gift giving too, with male great grey #shrikes impaling small creatures on thorns and twigs to impress mates, before offering them as presents during courtship. However, it is most common amongst #insects & #arachnids."

When I found your old post on earthworms the other day, I liked it for the poetry but I wasn't thinking much about biology. I've since remembered Charles Darwin's voice on the matter.
You probably already know about his book on the earthworm? It's Darwin's last book, published in 1881. One way or the other, it's a treasure.
