I'm just a nerd girl who knows next to nothing about cooking. But I have to reverse-engineer my late grandma's plum tarts one day.

I keep babbling about turtles being shell-friends. But apparently some turtles are more than just friends!

Yeah it kinda makes sense, turtles are, after all, the tanks of the nature!

However, in this photo, the roles are kind of reversed, aren't they? These are just Nature's Tanks, which are unduly harassed by some random thing that literally flew in from the sky!

Events that happen on nature rarely have immediate and direct tangible interpretations on political policy, is what I'm getting at.

I guess the web search messed up then. You should search for biology stuff! Not computer science stuff! Turtles are very computer science related creatures, but there's more to them!

Turtle Mode is actually a complicated thing! It's often implemented in two ways: Cryptodira are the turtles that just pull their heads in, while Pleurodira kind of tuck their head inside sideways.

But it gets even more complicated with certain ancient turtle species. For example, we have the snapping turtles. Technically cryptodira, but they don't really enough shell to cover themselves. Not that they need to because they'll fucking go snappity snap on everything on range. Or we have things like the megacephalum which again is a cryptodira turtle but probably can't retract the head because did we mention it's called the Megacephalum.

EDIT: Forgot: snapping turtle copypasta
