    The flower is actually fungi.

    The cameraman was actually two goats in a trench coat.

    The meme watcher wants to dress in rainbow thigh high socks but actually they might not know it yet.

        Borderlands is actually not cel shaded. It uses outlines and comic-like textures but regular shading.

          I see what you mean. It just feels pedantic saying it.

      Hover flies are pretty cool to watch. I get them a lot on the flowers of my luffa.

    Why is the fly masquerading as a wasp? I’m curious.

      (Sorry if this was a joke that went over my head and not an earnest question)

      Afaik its a strategy to scare off predators. The general idea goes like… predators dont want to get stung --> predators less likely to eat wasps --> fly pretends to be wasp --> predator less likely to eat fly for fear of being stung. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry here is a Wikipedia page if you feel like reading a much better longer description written by people who know a whole shitload more about biology than I do.
