I had a dream that I was sent to the bottom of the Mariana's Trench to narrate a documentary. There was an offshoot of the main trench called Truffaut's Trench where all the densest water went that wasn't safe for the camera. After discussing that, I had to narrate about these eight foot-long anomalocaris-looking things with long feelers that apparently "were adapted to human presence". I was like "uh, what does that mean?" And they began to swarm and I felt something brush the back of my neck and I woke up.

First time in years I can remember a nightmare waking me up. It was cool tbh but now I know that I'm freaked out by big bugs

Okay, CONSPIRACY: you know how we keep hearing news to "plant more trees" and how it's "good for the environment"

Well... I think that this plant more trees movement is being ran by bugs!

Yeah, bugs

Remember millions of years ago when there was more oxygen in the atmosphere, so bugs were bigger?

Yeah.

I think the bugs want to be big again.

Trees make oxygen.

Oxygen makes big bugs.

STOP PLANTING TREES, WE DONT NEED THE BUGS TO BE BIG!!!
