😂 I thought you were responding to my sea monkeys skeet, and now I can't even locate it. WTF? Why were we both thinking about this? So confused, but GMTA and all that jazz.

And now when I search, there's tons of sea monkeys posts. Is something going on? Are they going to be our new tiny overlords?
