>PC ate my copy+paste for the next postI hate it when that happens, so I'll just repeat what I'd already written to the best of my ability.
>>5404600The radiotrophy was comprising eight percent of the average Flounder Feeder's diet before their internal complexity increased by an order of magnitude. This math matches my thought process exactly.
>>5404608You can attempt to evolve toward a decentralized mass. You have several organs but those are only a foundation for future. Until you cross the self-aware sapient, manipulator-appendage threshold, nothing is set in stone.
>>5404610You can attempt to evolve toward regeneration but without a clever mechanism or significant luck, cancer is very, VERY prone to taking murderous advantage of much faster cellular regeneration.
>>5404612No, you can definitely try to evolve into a bootleg shoggoth or undulating mass of flesh. You don't have any bones, internal or external, limiting you in that regard.
>>5404303I made a folder for holding fan art and it's filling at a much faster rate than I ever imagined it would have, which is very humbling. All of these are fantastic.
>>5404416>tfw suddenly remembering reading All Tomorrows eight years agoTechnology later on can be very rigid or flexible, external factors, evolutionary biology, and cultural psychology depending.
>>5404471This is extremely cool too, very beautiful, though the amount of light makes me wary the Flounder Feeder will be a mass of tumors by this time in a Terran week, that's just another part of evolution.
