I assure you there’s too many beetles to effectively do that.
Someone already listed all the beetles in 1820 what are we supposed to do??
We remake the list with modern enhancements such as lens glare.
And ray tracing
And chromatic abheration!
Some Vsync if you’re feeling nasty
Maybe Photoshop in a thigh gap
Someone just found a new species of legless skink in Australia. Could have been us but you playing.
…I read that as skank.
I need to be caffeinated.
Legless skank… this better not awaken anything in me
i hope Legless Skank (the punk band) awakens within you a strong passion for self expression
🎵 I’ve been through the desert on a skank with no legs 🎵
Skankin’ it slow.
You me and a legless skank in the Australian desert but you playin
Overthrow oligarchy
Right? Let’s get more of these people interested in left wing politics instead of insects or trains or whatever

no thank you. being a decent person isnt transactional. not bartering over which groups someone can still treat like shit for fun. and being the kind of obsessive who tracks every local beatle or makes a youtube series about obscure shit. isnt the same thing as being someone who need to knock others down to feel strong.
Check they’re all still there and note any changes, which ones are no longer around, which new ones have joined them etc.
Loads to be getting on with there :)
Get into genetics, make new beetles.
We’ve been through this, there’s a scale problem. Also I’m not sure the parts are compatible.
Thr last thing we need is more beetles. There are so many of them as is!
Half of them have died off since 1960.
Personally, I find the insinuation that I can’t make a 26 part YouTube series about how collect all the rings in every sonic game, AND document every kind of beetle in my local province, belittling and insulting.
Beetling, if you will.
Alright, I’m waiting on the youtube playlist
As somebody who has published cybersecurity research AND a good number of youtube videos about niche video games, I can promise you making a YouTube series on an obscure video game does not get in the way of doing scientific research. With the magic of unrestrained autism, both are possible.
In 1820s Germany, the only guys documenting every beetle were basically the idle rich. The average person was working 12 hour days on a farm, or weaving cloth, or sorting through sewage for something useful.
Well would you rather have the idle rich making gaming youtube videos or documenting beetles?
I’d rather have them taxed so other people can have idle to document beetles or make gaming YouTube videos.
I don’t really care about the idle rich. It’s good when society is rich enough that the non-rich can spend their time making YouTube videos.
…good point
This here. I’ve thought about going the way of old school naturalists, but I just don’t have the resources, chiefly in time.
This is also why the modern trend is making YouTube videos. The people who do that are frequently hoping the channel takes off and they can get paid. It’s not just public service or documenting an interest. The scientists of the early 1800s were frequently people who didn’t have to work. They had estates that generated money for them, allowing them to pursue science as a hobby.

Any Austin embodies this AND he’s a talented musician, that guy is awesome
Shoutout to the oldschool runescape wiki people. One of the best and most thorough video game wikis I’ve ever used. If they never got hooked on medieval cookie clicker a decade or two ago who knows what else they would’ve achieved.
Most of the comments seem rather defensive. Is the post calling someone out?
I dont think so. I think theyre just trying to be accurate about whats its like to be the sort of person that gets very into their interests.
It seems overly nitpicky, like the larger point is being ignored because of technicalities
