The longer I live on this earth and the longer I spend in my genetics class, the more I think bug scientists are honestly right. These lil guys are so stupid and I love them so much.

Look at these little guys.

They're so small. They have such big, dumb, inocent eyes. They don't know that there's thousands of beings so much larger than they could ever comprehend who all think these lil flies are fantastic. They don't even know.

.... wait I was trying to write a post about cool things I've learned about these guys uuuHH-

I am viscerally imagining this in my head right now. Rehydrated potato, yeast, and ether.

I've started smelling it in places not in the lab and I don't know how to handle this.

Ok so I'm taking a genetics class right now and in lab we've been given fruit flies with different mutations that we need to breed over the course of the semester.

Now, first thing I learned: fruit flies don't eat fruit. They eat yeast. They eat the yeast on fermenting fruit. They can not actually eat fruit. Their name is a lie.

Secondly, one of the two mutant lines I was given to cross are flies with the apterous mutation, aka they're wingless. I feel so bad for them, they can't do the one thing they're named for, they cant fly.

And then I realized. My fruit flies are in truth insects that eat yeast and can't fly.

Anyways, I've been calling them my yeast crawls and I am their god now.

I have many a thought when I see those tape ball cutting videos.

"Wow, I hope all these content creators dont just throw the tape balls out after the video because that would be a lot of plastic waste," and "I know its not food, but monkey brain says it looks like food and now I want to bite it."

But most importantly, I desperately need to know what texture these damn things are. Do they feel like foam? Are they squishy? Does the feel change between it being a compact ball and after its been cut? I don't know and that haunts me.
